And now…

… balmy holidays are a preview of something darker: bigger climate extremes, more natural disasters, the specter not of a world where humans suffer through these things and find ways to survive but where we’ve made the planet so uninhabitable that, in the longer run, the planet survives but we don’t.
I was thinking about this while standing outside a science museum a couple of days ago with a friend. We were talking about the weather, but not the kind of small talk when you have nothing else to say. “I’m not sure our grandkids will even know what snow is,” she said, with a wry “I’m kidding, but I’m not” laugh.
…
These moments of dread come more frequently these days, as catastrophic climate events unfold both slowly and in great, ghastly bursts of wildfire and tropical storms. It’s not the absolute events, but the deviation from the norm that is alarming… a few years ago, when it was in the high 60s in Brooklyn for a few days in January, I wondered if I should increase my anti-anxiety meds.
This past June, Brooklyn was covered in a blanket of smoke from Canadian wildfires. The sky was a muted burnt sienna and the air smelled like a barbecue gone severely wrong. I reassured my son, who had many questions, that the neighborhood was not on fire.
It is my job to make my child feel safe, so I answer questions about scary, calamitous things when he asks, but carefully. … He gravitates toward questions about death and has asked me whether I’d rather freeze to death or die in a fire so many times that if I didn’t know him I might be concerned that he was planning something.

And now…
They already don’t know bullshit when they hear it, now snow too??
Good. I hate snow.
Whine...
Snivel...
Just wait until the scheduled ice age returns...
The literal Snow Job is coming their way!
My grandkids in Dayton, Ohio never got to see the glacier that sat atop the town a mere 13,000 years ago. That damned weather.
No more snow ??? Celebrate Climate Change !!!
Da Erf is cooling.
I’m in Upstate NY...Hate snow too. Lucky I can have my groceries delivered. I’m 80..and in Hibernation Mode

I went skiing yesterday.
I’m so old I can remember when people were informed enough to know that the temperature, precipitation and wind were ever changing and expected it.
They didn’t whine about it, go into hysterics or blame it on the guy next door who belonged to a different political party.
They just called it weather and went on living.
Maybe the govt. should stop trying to manipulate the weather so our grandkids will actually get to experience snow in the future.
I’m getting older, and I can’t find my car keys. I used to blame clouds. But I’ve since wised up. It’s either Climate Change or Donald Trump. The clouds are off the hook. For now, anyway.
In Louisville, in 2023 we tied the all-time record for least amount of snow. 1.3” for the whole year!! I mean, that’s proof of global warming if I ever saw it.
Except for this little fact: we TIED the all-time record … which was set in 1923.
And this Laurentide ice sheet went on to form the Great Lakes as it melted - when you ask someone what caused this warming inevitably you get the deer in the headlights look - after a long pause just say “deer farts” and walk away.
Some of you may think that this is a bunch of B.S. But before you brush it aside give it some thought.
The 3600 year signature cycle
In the event you happen to be one of those people who have been wondering about some of the strange weather patterns, not just locally but also world wide, comprised of flooding, draughts as well as an increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc. The following may provide you with some of the answers as once again we are approaching the 3600 signature cycle which slowly and deceptively continues to unfold.
As this cycle progresses and slowly unfolds unfortunately it is accompanied with floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, bugs and pests as well as crazy unseasonable weather patterns. And the chances for humans to stop or avert any of this are pretty slim to none as this appears to be a re-occurring natural event or cycle. And even if all the politicians stand on their heads, as well as throwing money at what is conceived erroneously as a problem created by humans, what it is not, it would not change a thing.
Just take the ever increasing number of earthquakes worldwide, which are part of this repetitive cycle, even in the wildest imagination it would be difficult to make a correlation between it and anything related to global warming.
At least for now and until the general public becomes knowledgably enough and realizes what the real causes are behind some of these events, ignorant politicians will milk these perceived causes for climate change or global warming for all its worth, in order to extract more taxes from the general public under the guise to fight man made global warming or climate change. Humans could not do anything about it one way or another even if they tried.
More signs and events of things to come are part of the 3600 signature cycle as it is unfolding worldwide. About 3600 plus or minus years ago similar events gave the then ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose an Excedrin headache and just about drove him bananas, better known as the TEN PLAGUES, eventually resulting in the release or expulsion of the Israelis from bondage as they, or good old MOSES used these events to their advantage by threatening that there would be more to come unless they would be released.
This event went down in history as the Biblical EXODUS. The catch is that these events were not just limited to ancient Egypt at the time, as we scan ancient, available and somewhat scarce records from this period we will find that ancient China was plagued with very similar events and disasters. In other words these were worldwide events very similar to what we are seeing today; hopefully they will not become too severe.
Just for interest sake about the same time 1500 BC or approximately close to 3600 years ago,1500 BC + 2023AD= 3523 approx. the time of the EXODUS the volcano located on the island of Thera located in the Mediterranean blew up with the estimated force of about 40 (forty) nuclear bombs, permanently re-arranging the Mediterranean, forming the Santorini Archipelago. At the time turning days into night, also affecting Egypt with pumice from the eruption found there as well.
So far being located in the upper Midwest, overall we have remained pretty well unscathed aside from some flooding her and there. Let us hope it will remain this way. At the same time it will be worthwhile to remember that some of these cycles may be more destructive than others, quite well described by Emmanuel Velikovsky.
On the other hand you may want to keep in mind that there has been a steady increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding all over as well as one season running into one another along with crazy weather patterns WORLDWIDE. All this just doesn’t happen without a reason and global warming supposedly caused by humans is positively not one of them..

Mencken was a century before the Carbon Scam but he sure got the tactic spot on!
