Global Cooling

Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on. see link

If this is true it just confirms my theory that global warming is a farce.

Being from Minnesota, I can attest to that.  Besides, I'm bummed this winter.  Wisconsin and Iowa stole all of our snow this winter .

Bring on a touch of global warming!

  Like with the stock market, a short one year downturn cannot negate a long historical rise. We have to look at the long haul.

That said, I remain a skeptic as far as the long term global temperature rise being the doomsday scenario as advanced by so many "environmentalists". In the long term, in our lives and our children's lives there very well will probably be a rise in temperatures. However, I don't believe the sea levels will rise to levels prophesied by by Al Gore and his many believers. And so forth, and so on........

I'm still a proponent of government weather modification.  That explains it easily.

The heating of the Ionosphere with Haarp to steer the jet stream has made this a very viable possibility along with the military's desire to own the weather by 2025...and we are not the only ones playing with it.  There are weather modification sites all over the world.  Like a drop of food coloring in a fish bowl, a modification anywhere on earth can affect the rest of it.

Think they will tell us about it?   Not on your life.

Here is some of the stuff that may be involved with the changing weather.

I just got an e-mail from my brother in Kalispell, MT. Seems it snowed 69 inches in 7 days and now the concern is about flooding when it melts. I guess the snowfall came during the cooling and the flooding will come when the warming returns. Full circle.

[benevolance]

snowpack is usually the best kind of precipitation because of the slow release when it starts to melt...The ground absorbs more and there is less run off... In semi arid places like Colorado and Northern California Snow is white gold

As long as there is no record breaking heat wave the snow should melt slowly in Kalispell...Like it has for centuries and there will be minimal flooding...The problem with rain and snow concerning flooding mostly is our interfering with the rivers and drainage systems which leave no place for water to go when it does rain or snow a lot....

We are at 118% now -- water for the farmers through September per my son who works for the Irrigation district.

New Hampshire had to cancel it's winter festival--too much winter....  http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=7940256&nav=4QcS

118% precipitation is hardly double....Just that rainfall has been so far below average for the last decade or so that one good year has everyone pushing the panic button concerning flooding...

We need 10 years of 150% precipitation just to get back to even...Lake Mead is drying up Folks and the colorado river is in trouble as well...

People seriously have no idea how bad america's drought really is or has been for the past decade.

[StinkerBell]

Every time I drive by Lake Shasta I see how bad it is. I think that lake has been horribly low for the past two decades.

[benevolance]

through the southeast it has been record breakingly dry...Lake Lanier is going dry it was almost empty this summer...Charlotte Raleigh and Atlanta all were down to about 45 days of drinking water before they got some much needed rain just before christmas.... The entire region was down over 15 inches of rainfall this year....That is a staggering amount of rain... when you do not get it and need it.

A few days before we left WI, we had to go to my doc's appointment, and driving past Lake Geneva, there were guys out there ice fishing with their trucks and SUVs parked out in the middle of the lake.  It was definitely the coldest of the three winters we've been in WI. 

[glenn kangiser]

Right,  Peter.

When drilling wells I noted that we had an average overall loss of around 6 inches per year static water level in wells over a long period of time, and that will do nothing but get worse.

Aquifers don't  come back to normal after they are overdrawn.  The ground subsides, never to return to where it was, as the layers of earth above the static water level compact and never have the spaces they did before.

some believe that aquifers never will come back period... that it took tens of thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of years to create the aquifers...Once depleted they are gone forever....

the whole midwest sat on one of the largest aquifers in the world and america has been pumping it dry shamelessly for over a 100 years... it stretched from Minnesota to Colorado and down to the gulf of Mexico....Sadly it has been used as a major source of crop irrigation for farmers... with no regard to thoughts that the aquifer is being destroyed.

we are living on borrowed time with water...people are in for a huge wake up call. The good times cannot last without major change in the way we use acquire and recycle our fresh water supply
