Climate and Weather

'82-'83
I remember that season.
Want me to tell you what it was like?

That might have been the year that when we drove up 395 to Mammoth on a Sunday for our January ski week that we could see several places where avalanches had run down from the higher passes into otherwise-bare meadows below the snowline.

Picture from above-average, but not unusual year, dated April 2005 --

Remember the pictures espola posted of the dry resevoirs and the rocky ski runs?
Remember how he sulked and wimpered about the permanent drought?
E post a lot of things and then claims that he never did. It's funny how others remember these post but he doesn't (actually more sad then funny) and that makes him an easy mark.

I decided to just ignore him and his lame attempts to engage me but will reply if I think it's worth it. So far I've replied to him one time and his response was incoherent if not predictable. Maybe he can regain his faculties but I doubt it...

But I do own several pair of rock skis, maybe E will buy them from me. On the other hand, I've been thinking about buying a few more and making a chair of them.
 
More right wing b.s., but of course your fellow lemmings will chirp in your favor.

Harrison Ford's Climate Horror Story

NBC late-night comedian Seth Meyers recently dedicated one of his "comedy" diatribes to denouncing "scaremongering about socialism."

In a recent video to promote a World Government Summit in Dubai, legendary "Star Wars" actor Harrison Ford offered the usual litany of doom. "What does living in a 4-degrees-warmer world look like? Freshwater shortages. Higher greenhouse gas emissions. Unprecedented fires. Worldwide destruction. Is this the world we want?"

Ford added: "Our planet, the only home we've got, is suffering. This is the bare truth. This is our reality. It's up to you and me to act now to face the greatest moral crisis of our time, to take action. It is time to make a difference."

Leftists can make this kind of unproven doom case forever, and it never loses its "moral authority." It doesn't matter that they've been selling the end of humanity since at least 1968 when Paul Ehrlich published his ludicrous manifesto "The Population Bomb." Did we all die over the last 50 years? Does anyone point and laugh at the elite media who eagerly pushed that "fake news"?

In 1989, Ehrlich himself narrated several long "news" segments with comical predictions on NBC's "Today" show. He actually predicted that end-of-days flooding would force folks to hitch their boats to the Washington Monument. Thirty years later, we're still on terra firma.


The next year, actress Meryl Streep hosted a 10-part PBS documentary series called "Race to Save the Planet" and predicted: "By the year 2000, that's less than 10 years away, the Earth's climate will be warmer than it's been in over 100,000 years. If we don't do something, there will be enormous calamities in a very short time."

It wasn't true, and it never mattered, because doom is apparently always 10 years away. People didn't believe Streep is an actual science expert. She enjoys a higher qualification. She is a movie star, used like a commercial pitchman, the same way George Clooney tells you to drink Nespresso coffee.

Ford has used his movie star charisma for this cause for years on behalf of a group called Conservation International. As part of this crusade, he told CNN at the summit in Dubai that this isn't a left-right issue: "It's not about political ideologies. ... we've been disaggregated into political ideology groups, and we've got to find this middle ground to get things done."

Touching but untrue.

As you can see from the laughable details of the "Green New Deal," the left's prescriptions are in no way in the middle ground, unless government being mandated to end the scourges of airplane travel and cow flatulence is mainstream.


Ford gave a speech and pointed the finger at President Trump and "climate deniers" in general. True to form, Ford muttered, "In 10 years, it may be too late."
