Title: What's going on with the weather? Post by: NeoN on July 03, 2010, 10:50:01 PM Hi guys....
Anyone else experiencing noticeable climate changes in their area? I truly believe that my area is now experiencing some serious climate changes ??? The 4 seasons, as we used to know them, are no more.... We now have 2 main seasons... A calm winter with above normal temperatures, a very short transition period, and then humid hot summers which can include thunderstorms and rain.... I think that in the future some Mediterranean countries will become more 'tropical' so to speak. It seems that nature has it's way of answering back to prolonged pollution....

Post by: bvdp on July 04, 2010, 01:54:04 AM I tend to not be totally in sync with the dire (or wonderful for that matter) predictions of anything, including weather change. However, that said, I'm quite sure that if we continue to pollute our world there will be dire consequences for future generations. And even if I'm wrong on this, it just isn't right to not take care of the world.
That said, our winter was very mild with little snow and our spring so far has been cool and wet. The question is: is this a climate change or just a mild winter/cool spring? If you look at historical weather charts you'll find that our current weather here is not out of normal ... below average, but that is how averages work. The scary thing about climate change is that, if the predictions are right, you'll not notice it until it's way too late. And that is scary. |
