I'm suspicious about their agenda. What are we missing? Why do they not want to LINK this natural event to globul warming.

It might have something to do with the new sheriff coming to town next month. (Agencies need to be funded) -Tom

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

NATURAL PATTERN !!!!!!! what kind of nonsense is that?? Everyone knows that your car, your lawnmower, even your foul dirty barbecue grill is what is causing our beloved planet to heat up. The sooner that we regress to living in the jungle under a shade tree, the better off humanity will be..!!

Do you know what those post-war predictions were based on?

Me? I’d be blaming that shortage of water in Callie on all the illegals it’s been harboring

probably all the extra showers and baths and.....oh well, maybe not.

"The report is not dismissive of global warming at all," an NOAA meteorologist and study co-author says.

Why no, it isn't. It is dismissive of the models that predict it. It's the raw data that are dismissive of Global Warming.

“Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?”

You really do not what to open that question up to idiotic discussion!!!!

Idiots in the political, environmental, and whacko groups were planning to lace the upper atmosphere with shinny reflective particles that would remain in space indefinitely so as to block those harmful rays of the sun. Being small and widely dispersed those particle would be impossible to eliminate. this was in the advanced planning stages when it was finally aborted.

I guess if that didn’t work they were going to send a nuclear missile to blow up the sun.

Reminds me of an old George Carlin routine, Al Sleet the hippy-dippy weatherman “tonight’s forecast...DARK! Continued mostly dark until morning...”

The earth’s magnetic field shift might have had something to do with it.

A ring of creosote bushes that are estimated to be 11,700 years old. Lucerne Valley, California

Gee, I wonder how long desert/drought conditions have existed in California?

Creosotes are pretty amazing, and swarm throughout our Kalifornia/Nevada/Arizona desert area....by the zillion.

We had one on our lot line, and our garden-helper refused to help remove it, because he said he'd have to tie a chain to his truck's bumper to yank it so I could build my wall......and I think he believed the plant was stronger than his hold beater.

I ended up chopping it back and dosing it with pure concentrated Roundup for six months (including drilled holes right down the stems) -- but it worked..eventually.

When there is less moisture in the ground, there is less moisture to be reabsorbed into the atmosphere. Is there any truth to the theory that the reduction of irragation to the area may have actually been a catalys that started and worsened the drought?

What happens to any moisture from any given tract of land that is released into the atmosphere via evaporation?

It is promptly whisked away by the prevailing winds........

California's climate is predicated on the Pacific ocean and whatever moisture that is blown their way.........

I once had the opportunity to spend some time with a 94 year old woman who lived in N.W. Kansas who actually experienced the "great dust bowl" first hand. Her stories of that time and her own childhood were right out of a fabulous history book.

Following that encounter, I decided to educate myself on the Dust Bowl and you would be surprised how that history has been revised to the point that many internet sources categorize it as "the greatest man made ecological disaster of all time".........LOL!

Roundup must work well. Chaparral is alelopathic, meaning it puts out its own form of Roundup to kill off competing plants. I pulled some Siberian Pea Shrubs with my ‘59 Apache last summer. They had some large, deep roots but they didn’t strain my truck much at all. I don’t know how they compare to Chaparral though.

.
Were they going to have congress repeal the law of Gravity?

Either those particles would be sucked back down to Earth, or they would end up in the sun, burned up.

Politicians planned to pollute the atmosphere in order to interfere with life-giving energy from the sun? It must take a special kind of mind to be a politician.
