How Hot Will 2007 Be?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm running about 75% of those in the house now, So far have been happy with them. Use to run regular 60 watt bulbs in the basement, but just the vibration of walking upstairs would break the elements and would have to change them out constantly.
3 years with the new bulbs and havn't had to change one yet.

 

The only down side I've heard of, was my frugal neighbor of mine. Here in the winter people leave a light burning to keep the chill off the pump and pipes in the well house.
He thought the new lights would trim his electric bill. First cold snap, his water froze.
He didn't realize the reason they were so cheap to run is they don't waste a lot of energy producing heat.

 

OK, here it is. you want to save the planet??? humanity??? dont have any fucking kids plain and simple. and grow as many flourishing plants as possible. kick up some oxygen.

and i tell you know. THIS IS FUCKING SERIOUS. the only peole with POWER who can do anything about this. DON WANT TO GIVE UP THEIR MONY!!!!. they feel it is only natural and i mean psychologically natural to remain in the direction theyre going and to just NOT WORRY AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

no fucking jokes here. human population is far far far to high. and fucking the age of industry has GOT TO GO. we dont need GOD FUCKING DAMNIT NUCLEAR RESEARCH. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. DONT YOU SEE ALL RESEARCH SCIETISTS DO WHAT THEY WANT. ITS ALL A GAME TO THEM. we should be researching knowledge on how to save all this. not ways to keep people from worrying. fucking stupid ass bitches.

btw, my name is brandon morse, and i am 17 years old. and my brain is far superiour to yours.

 

and btw, before even replying to my stupid ass shit about age of industry. just cause its gone doesnt mean we wont have some industry. fucking moron to reply to this. of course well still have some just not so much.

 

Global warming doesn't mean the whole earth is getting warmer. Last two summers here weren't extreme hot at all. Extremely lousy weather which lots of rain, that's what we had here allmost all summer.

 

Hey I think Skip has resorted to the right wing Christian imagery. Too sad, really.

 

Summers over and it didn't feel too bad actually. But then again we have been in a technical drought for over 10 years.

 

Wow dude. Take your BS somewhere else. You're right about nuclear energy and all that, nothing is going to save us from global warming.

But this is a chill forum... screaming at everyone calling them stupid fucking bitches just isn't gonna fly. Reported.

 

Looking back:

Maine, when I got back in Mid January, until about Mid April was freezing freezing FREEZING! It was a very cold winter in Portland. There was still snow in mid April and cold temps. A few warm days snuck in towards the end of April and throughout may, but it was suprsingly mild. I left the US for a month and when I came back in July, it was a mild July. Many days I even wore pants. The first few days in August, maybe the first 5 or so, were very hot, but maybe actually average and only seemed very hot cause of the mild July. other than that, not to many scorchers in August, one here and there. Mostly, mild temps. We had a hot day to begin September and another one a few days ago.

But for the most part, from my time spent in Maine, I would say it was actually a pretty mild summer for the most part. August looked to rebound from the less than stellar July, but cooled off by the second week, as I said.

 

Because 'Global Warming' is to do with the entire planet warming up,regional variations are misleading as to the macra -problem.
I totally predicted this summer wrongly as I thought we'd have a scorched earth,drought summer with water shortages like 2006 but we had record rainfall in Britain & unprecidented flooding in the north of Britain.Summer came in spring & August was continuous rain.
I couldn't have got it more incorrect.Proving that global warming's greatest threats to us is likely to be 'flooding' from rising sea levels than the sun's rays or shortages of water.All the major cities of the world are built around rivers & this is ironic because they pose the greatest risk to their citizens as well as the expanding desert around the equator.

 

The end of September and beginning of October have been pretty darn hot.

 

it is so refreshing to hear somebody say that. Sometimes I wish I could just WHAP 'em.

What happens if Atlanta GA runs out of water?

 

Here is link to organization who say we are putting far too much money and energy into "war on terrorism" when global warming is FAR GREATER problem. I agree!
(it's PDF so "pops up")(hope it works)(it's the article called "Beyond Terrorism: the sustainable security paradigm - Oxford Research Group"

There have been hot summers before. My mother told me about summers when I was a very young child and it was very hot back then as well. Only there was not so much aggitation about it in the media.

 

getting dryer, the tropics expanding and the frozen poles shrinking, each successively more alpine climate zone retreating to higher elevations and latitudes.

forget about temperature, have a look at the sierra snowpack, or should i say, the depth and coverage of it that isn't there, rather shockingly late this year, which means water for next summer and august, to grow food, and the increased wildfire do to increased drying out.

these things have economic impacts as well. as will coastal cities getting their feet wet as polar ice caps continue to dissappear.

mostly not as spectacular as nawlins, but just as signifigant in all the less obvious ways what we're used to taking for granted works.

its a choice folks. not that what we decide becomes visible imediately. there's a decades long lag involved. those oceans of air and water are massive.

but it is still a choice, and the choice to keep using combustion to generate energy and propell transportation, MIGHT have made sense when total human population was smaller then it had already been for ages before anyone's great grand parents were born, but it's unwise today to the point of being very possibly collectively suicidal.

I believe it's cyclical. That's no reason to go on like this though..
