Wettest year ever?

This article may be of use to people planning next years trip. Dry areas are maybe more likely to have wildfires. And IMO smoke filled air ruins your trip.

Good article if the idiot writing it could just ignore being politically correct and attribute this to plain old weather. The Brits by the way are predicting a bitterly cold winter, I'm not sure if that carries over to North America. Wunderground

More rain storms in summer in center of country is due to climate change.  Lack of Monsoon rains in Arizona is also due to climate change.  And heavier snows and colder winters are also changes showing the climate is changing.  The oceans are getting warmer which affects all weather world-wide.

I totally agree.

Global warming is a natural reaccuring event that happens about every 100 years. About every 500 years it is stronger that usual. 500 years ago in the 1500s people in Northern Europe were experiencing colder than usual temperatures. Farming in Europe was affected. The Vikings headed south in search of warmer temperatures. We are now at that 500 year cycle. Human footprint has exasperated the condition somewhat but it is still a part of nature.  It has nothing to do with politics.

I've posted this chart before, and it still applies. Climate change has been a fact of life for millions of years. The bigger problem currently is the rapid increase in the rate of that change...

I think it was global warming at the end of the ice age that caused much of the geology we have now. Global warming is NOT new. Yes, it is happening again but who are we to say if that will turn out to be good or bad?

It's like preservation of endangered species. Where would we be now if someone had protected the dinosaurs?

How would evolution happen if we refused to allow change?

The sky is not falling. The only constant in life is change.
