Title: Climate
Post by: Gornu on May 18, 2013, 10:38:50 am
How about that 400 parts per million in CO2 we're reaching or have gotten to?  Are you experiencing the strange weather patterns happening in your neck of the woods?

I've heard red rain in Britain.  Bad storms hitting New England.  Maybe Earth is handing out tsunamis for our bad grades.  I can't tell if the weather is shitty or great being in Wisconsin as our weather is very unpredictable nestled between two great lakes.

We haven't really experienced much either, honestly. Weather patterns in ND are pretty easy to follow. It snows a lot in the winter, very mild in the summer, and hot in August.

The only weird Weather we have is the flooding that goes on in Minot, but, again weather patterns show that it floods really bad every 50-60 years.

Here in CA We have really bad earthquake like weather. One day it will be 90 degrees outside the next it will be in the low 70's all day. Our weather fluctuates like crazy. The weatherman is close to always wrong when predicting weekly weathers lol.

This is gonna blow your mind:

I think its gettin' hot here on the East Coast.  Must be because we're nearing the Summer.

ROFL :P

My mind has been blown.

I heard somewhere, that the reason for all of the cold weather this year (Mainly in 'Murica) is because of a change in the Gulf Stream;  one of the main "eddy's" vanished (They do that every ~6 months - 100 years, depending on the size), so cooler water is present in the North Atlantic.  Not 100% sure, but I'll see what I can find on it.

@ Garnu:  I've heard about the Red Rain.  There's a bacteria, that feeds off of water to produce energy (Like most Bacteria).  Sometimes after it dies, the dead bacteria evaporate, and give the water it's red color.  It happens a lot in childhood nightmares India, I believe.

That's a reference to the weather, not the climate. Climate change affects weather averages over years and years.

It's something to be worried about, however it's unfortunate that so many here in America deny that it's happening. I envy that you live in a scientifically literate (or at least more so) culture.
