God, I wish more people had the brains to understand this.
Global warming does not equate to turning the 'heater' up.
This time last year I was sweating my arse off and cursing the sun to hell at work.
Just last week I had my heater on, was cold and was pulling the boot-carpet out of my car because the torrential rain had beaten the seals in my car, leaving a god-awful stench when I realised what had happened.
Chit knows we need the rain and I am not complaining, but 12 months ago I was praying for death because of the heat. This year I am cold. Cold and very wet.
right now, in new jersey, it's a bit colder than normal for this time of year. but....here's the kicker. what it is now is the REAL normal. most people consider normal to be what the last few years were. the last few years in my area were somewhat warm, then a cold snap by new years. when i was a kid, this area used to have snow on the ground weeks before christmas. late october, early november quite often.
then it started to cycle a bit warmer. now it;s starting to cycle back to colder.
notice the word i keep using? CYLE. the climate CYCLES.
i'm not saying we're not afffecting the earth.......but we're not creating the problems that a lot of these alarmists are claiming.
mother earth has gone through cycles since she's existed. she still is. she will continue to go through these cycles long after we're all gone.
