Your current Gulch score:
Snow in the Sahara desert third year in a row.
The arctic ice is gaining, not melting but this trend was set up by a normal solar maximum, (every other 11 year sun cycle + we are coming out of a 400 year max and into a 400 minimum.
They are right about the recent fridge temps are not Your fault and neither are You to blame for the cycles of the sun...sillies!
, I'm going to freeze to death!
Should have said that human activity, thus far in history and for the foreseeable future based in current technology, is insignificant to all climate changes. The activity of the Sun is the thing that has the greatest effect by far and is likely 100 times more important than all other factors combined. Only infrequent large asteroid impacts temporarily have such extreme effects as changes in solar activity.
Swampcano.
Ice ages always come and go.
The Sun's emissions ebb and flow,
Earth's climate climbs from high to low.
While human knowledge tends to grow,
Too often we forget to know.
Causality ignored brings woe
As human history will show.
Seven billion--where to stow?
Where sufficient food to sow?
Escape to tropics? Much too slow.
Or to the stars? Who goes? Hello?
So this time freeze, not flood, will blow
Humanity’s survival, bro.
If Noah’s brood an ark could tow,
How will we float on ice and snow?
And can a remnant, stashed below,
Preserve our science from long ago?
Rebuild from scratch, all friends, no foe?
And should the Sun its pull forgo,
Its mass shrink down, no heat bestow,
Will humans line up, row by row,
Their rockets into ether throw,
That life and mind not perish though
The primal scream hangs on, “No! No!”
It is common knowledge among those who actually use their minds that climate change caused by man does not reach the level of myth.
