Look it up." I did look it up and found compelling evidence of a consensus belief in human caused global warming among all scientists to be over 90 percent. For climatologists the figure is 97 percent.<br /><br />Tom<br /> Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-47484805747691723042019-05-07T12:54:57.185-05:002019-05-07T12:54:57.185-05:00Dear Don Hall: I have studied weather my whole lif...Dear Don Hall: I have studied weather my whole life, anyone can study weather their whole life...even me. I have been a weather junkie since the early days of Harry Volkman and P.J Hoff the TV weatherman and cartoonist, who drew the politically incorrect "Little Ah Choo" that counted pollen grains with an abacus. I would have been a professional weather forecaster and aspired to a meteorology degree but I couldn't handle the required math. Asking a 90-year-old lady if the ocean level has ever changed over the years is absurd and ridiculous...ninety years isn't even a grain of sand on the beach when it comes to both recorded history and pre-history. Climate changes of the present are not caused by wobbles of the of the earth, nor are dust bowls due to cows farting. You can write on paper how much water covers the earth, but you would need a lot of room for all those zeroes. Not 10 miles deep in the Atlantic Trench, only a lousy seven...in the Pacific, off the Marianas. Computer-based monkey business is numerical data and weather statistics. Most of the warmest years in history have been since 1990. Look it up. Figures don't lie, but liars can figure. It’s not simply weather changes. It's us, spewing all that crap into the atmosphere.And if you get a natural volcano (are there any unnatural or man-made ones?) like Krakatoa, dumping ash on top of all the other junk, we are toast. The earth is alive and will take care of itself unless we kill it. Our ecosystem is very fragile, and even a washing machine will break if it is overloaded with too much. This was not the coldest winter on on record in the Midwest, even in my lifetime it has been worse...think Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties. Why is that no longer happening? Let nature do its job, and if you mess with it, it will kill off millions of species and then it will kill you and me. I have studied weather since I was twelve and I have a shelf of weather books. I am glad we cancel each other out.

Thank you for your service. In Miami Beach streets once dry now flood at high tide, she must have missed that. Yes, ice is being made somewhere on Earth constantly, while it is melting and evaporating elsewhere. You don't have to be a scientist to see that American continental glaciers are disappearing, as have the snows of Kilimanjaro. Greenland, summer Arctic Ocean ice decreasing as well. The dynamics of global forces will confirm and/or confound the scientists. The planets survival is not in question. Man is the fragile living thing and the increasing multitudes and our growing industrializations are the unknown factor in the equation. All predictions are just that. What I believe to be indisputable is that most measures to combat global warming are beneficial in the long run, while the most dire of predicted outcomes are too terrible to imagine. The religious believers like to ask atheists "what if you're wrong?" I would ask Don the same question.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613528527379198505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-7521399334221153712019-05-07T08:58:40.601-05:002019-05-07T08:58:40.601-05:00The most depressing aspect of that letter is that ...The most depressing aspect of that letter is that Don Hall has the same vote I do.
