Just a New Jersey Retard...Even the dumbfucks that claim to be Republican in that State are raging Dems at heart...

Oh yes....Im a Dem at heart, little guy...simply because I beleive in weather stats and record warmth beating out record cold by 2 to 1....and what does location have to do about anything?. Last I checked Connecticut is not very far away.

If the oceans are rising due to climate change and melting glaciers, why are rivers like the Thames and Rhine drying up? 

Don't worry Irv.... you will be suffering from Rigamortis before the issue really becomes a problem. Seas are rising.....must be due to the cooling you beleive in

Nice little circle jerk going on here........did I say I care about the definitive global warming?....No, It wont have too much affect on my lifetime.....remember Im a selfish boomer who could care less but stats are stats and we are definitely warming...GLOBALLY!

  What it is doIng out your window and town is irrelevant.  Being left or right doesn't change facts....FOOLS!!!

Even if climate is changing - not much we can do. Its the other shithole countries polluting everything.

Huge mistake - us building China up.

Why do you care so much if people agree with you if you don't care about glibal warming as a whole?

95⁰ at 4AM this morning in Vegas.  That's 5⁰ warmer than the highest temp that we have seen here in northern VT in 9 summers. I couldn't deal with temps that warm.

The humidity is what matter. It’s been upper 80s here with some days having such awful humidity that you couldn’t even do anything outside. I spent a week in Phoenix and the daytime highs were 114-116 every day and it was more comfortable than it has been here the last week.

I agree on humidity being part of it, but 95⁰ for the low seems excessive to me. In the winter I have been in plenty of places that heat with wood. That's a dry heat and 80-85 if hot to me, lol.

I'm sure it's all relative to what you are used to. Someone living their entire life in Vegas probably wouldn't care for a 20⁰-30⁰ below zero January morning much either.

You certainly don't have to agree and can remain a dumbass, that's your prerogative. You can keep it a right and left issue which I find a bit humorous. I just look at stats and extremes, that are very hard to argue, not what side of the political spectrum you may be. Im probably the only huuge Trump supporter that puts his political beleifs aside and takes off the blinders and has an open mind on this issue. .......seems the real Steven Hawking believed.

You guys probably have more farmland today you did 100 years ago?

Significantly more than 20 years ago but I think there was more during the 30-40's.   Hard to imagine with the equipment today but there was a lot of ground farmed around the depression and war.  Hard to find data on it as most is tracked by harvest totals and not crop acres.   Forget where I read it but America use to plant more acres than they do today.

Here, I'll post it again, apparently you didn't read it the first time. You're brainwashed..........GW is pure BS.

 

 On the same day last week that Greta Thunberg made an impassioned speech to the United Nations about her fears of a climate emergency, a group of 500 prominent scientists and professionals, led by the CLINTEL co-founder Guus Berkhout, sent this registered letter to the United Nations Secretary-General stating that there is no climate emergency and climate policies should be designed to benefit the lives of people. Here’s the press release, here’ the list of 500 signees, and here’s the opening of the letter:

 

A global network of more than 500 knowledgeable and experienced scientists and professionals in climate and related fields have the honor to address to Your Excellencies the attached European Climate Declaration, for which the signatories to this letter are the national ambassadors. The general-circulation models of climate on which international policy is at present founded are unfit for their purpose.

Therefore, it is cruel as well as imprudent to advocate the squandering of trillions of dollars on the basis of results from such immature models. Current climate policies pointlessly and grievously undermine the economic system, putting lives at risk in countries denied access to affordable, reliable electrical energy. We urge you to follow a climate policy based on sound science, realistic economics and genuine concern for those harmed by costly but unnecessary attempts at mitigation

Here are the specific points about climate change highlighted in the letter:

1 Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming.
2. Warming is far slower than predicted.
3. Climate policy relies on inadequate models.
4. CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a plant food that is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.
5. Global warming has not increased natural disasters.
6. Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities.
7. There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic.

MP: What about that “consensus” and “settled science” about climate change we always hear about? How can there be a consensus when there’s a global network of more than 500 knowledgeable and experienced scientists and professionals in climate and related fields who challenge the “settled science”?

Actually, challenging the consensus among the scientific community is nothing new, but those the voices of those challenging the consensus are always drowned out by the tsunami of climate hysteria from the climate alarmists. For example, in 2012 a group of more than 125 scientists sent an open letter to the United Nations warning that scientific evidence refuted UN Secretary-General’s Ban Ki-Moon repeated assertions on weather and climate. Those warnings of climate hysteria unsupported by the scientific evidence were ignored in 2012, just like the letter from the 500 prominent scientists and professionals will be ignored in 2019. In other words, it’s “deja vu all over again.”

Yup!  The humidity here absolutely sucks.  Add in our state bird, the MOSQUITO, and it literally makes being outside next to impossible to bear.

Our open land back in the late 1800s to early 1900s was mostly for sheep & cattle. Now when you drive the back roads you can see the stone walls where the land used to be cleared. It's mostly thick woods with the occasion home now.

Had an easy year on bugs it seems... here.

Again....if we saw widespread cold with the likes of warming we are seeing. I would gladly change my opinion.  Unfortunately that's simply is not the case.

 Even where I snowmobile in Old Forge I have seen the change over the last 30 years . I saw a temperature of -40°F, when I first got a place up there 30 years ago, and minus 20 and 30 were very common. Today, minus 20 only happens a few times a season maybe.  But again I have to remind myself that this is just Regional and I can't judge the entire globe over this ..... also the sled seasons either start later or end earlier on average with less snow too. Even the locals confirm that the winters are not what they used to be.

Same here. We have the occasional mosquito but the horse flies seem to be more plentiful than recent years.

Some great websites where you can see aerials going back to the 30's.   They skipped the 40's (war?) but you can really see how the land coverage changed over time.
