Bill Nye is a freaking idiot.
This weather stuff runs in cycles. It happened before, and will happen again. And has for thousands of years.
I recall that we had a long drought in the late 1970s to early 1980s here in the SF Bay Area. Lots of restrictions on water use, couldn’t water lawns, wash cars etc. Followed by severe rainstorms (1982 or thereabout) that caused flooding, and it ended the drought. At the time I lived in San Bruno, and had to cut a trench around my house to divert flooding from behind my home out to the street, stopped the water coming into my garage from the back. South SF had lots of flooding downtown that damaged property. They’ve since mitigated it with diversion canals.
There is no global warming. However, there are gullible warners like Bill Nye.
I got to the Bay Area in the early 70’s, and...it used to rain like this. I don’t recall the years. So you get a big whompin’ rainstorm once in a while. Ooooooooh.
Idiot! All bad things are caused by man caused global warming. The problems will only be solved by higher taxes on man! /s
Hiking around the Black Hills for many years, Mr. RR and I have found several fossils. Some have tropical flora in them and many have sea critters, snails, clams etc.
Apparently, this was a tropical zone at one time.....before man came along.
There was also an Ice Age here, millenia ago. In the southern Black Hills, there is an archeology mammoth dig. They continue to find ice age skeletons. It’s a fascinating place to visit.
