....assuming that global warming is anything but made-up claptrap.
The state highway in front of our house was concrete poured in 1933. They used coal cinders for snow traction. Everyone used studs. No potholes until the mid sixties when they started using salt, the concrete was asphalted over in a couple years. Think the auto industry was okay with their cars being rusted out and beaten up? Of course they were — they made billions replacing them. They probably paid for the salt.
Now the highway is milled and repaved every five years, with constant heroic pothole maintenance — still there are always deep potholes. Zero maintenance for thirty years, now millions every year, and terrible damage and death from potholes and salt.
The cinders were perfect — they provided traction, and they absorbed sunlight to melt the snow. The salt has killed every small stream in the region — the first thaw sends nearly saturated brine down the waterways — nothing survives. We’re “salting” our own earth.
Climate change does what to local weather patterns? Nobody was around the last time we were in a interglacial period, so how would science know what an interglacial period is actually like?
[[“...New England has lost three weeks of winter in the past century, and “mud” days have increased by up to a few weeks per year, said Sarah Nelson, director of research at the Appalachian Mountain Club...”]]
Gosh I wonder ehat all the pearl c.utchers were screaming about when the miles thick glaciers that covered the Eastern states melted due to warming? Did they sit around and say “golly, potholes will become worse, and spring will arive earlier and fall will last longer. We must tax the crap,out of everyone to stop this madness!” (Yes I know, people weren’t around d)
Yeah, interesting how climate change can be so selective.
It can’t get much warmer at the Equator everything will catch fire and water will boil but that will cause clouds and then cooling , the planet knows what it’s doing if it didn’t we would NOT BE HERE
Yeah, but I’m sayin’, that TruCoat, you don’t get it and you get oxidization problems. It’ll cost you a heck of lot more’n five hundred-
We just had the coldest winter in years.
Thet should either make it snow more or move the state to someplace with a warmer climate,
Here in Western NY, we’ve had really cold winters where we got snow that stayed from early December to late March, and years with near zero snow that stayed for more than a day or two.
With a lifetime of experience here, Winter starts a week to two before the solstice, and the hardest time is 4-6 weeks after the solstice (mid Jan to early March). In the summer our hottest times are 4-6 weeks after the solstice (mid July to late Aug). The intensity and duration of either of these events is variable.
It was 9 above when I got up yesterday morning here in beautiful, romantic illannoy.
Climate “change”, where change is the only constant.
Whenever someone brings up “climate change” you know immediately you’ve got an irrational idiot on your hands.

Warmer winters?? What idiot never went outside this winter?? It was freaking COLD nationwide!
I live rurally, just outside the People’s Republic of Portland. We’re totally enjoying the mild winters of late, but I’ve been around long enough to know winters are cyclical. Next year could very well be one barn-burner after another.
I’ll take what I can get, shy of becoming a snowbird.
“We’re “salting” our own earth.”
You should see the Magnesium Chloride white cloud in Denver. In the Winter, Denver’s Summer brown cloud is replaced with a salty white cloud. The nasty health effects are never spoken of. Come Summer, the news simply reports that the National Jewish hospital is seeing increases in lung issues. Trees along all roadways are dying. It was an obvious effect of the return to salt and chemicals in Colorado.
Do you get 3 weeks less of winter since 1022?
As this woman from Maine is claiming?
Well golly gee. What with all those high tech government labs in Boulder...
“Boulder is the home of scientific laboratories for the U. S. Department of Commerce’s NIST, NOAA and NTIA. Clustered on the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder Colorado, these labs are the home of scientific research and engineering in the fields of electromagnetics, materials reliability, optoelectronics, quantum electronics and physics, time and frequency, earth systems, weather and telecommunications.”
...one would think they’d be the first to sound the alarms. Must be something in the air causing all that brain fog.
