Climate and Weather

Shake, rattle and roll!
I was just south of Oklahoma City on Saturday morning when the 5.6 earth quake hit....
Reminded me of home sweet home.

"The USGS says it "cannot currently conclude whether or not this particular earthquake was caused by industrial-related, human activities. However, we do know that many earthquakes in Oklahoma have been triggered by wastewater fluid injection.”"

It's a good thing mankind can't affect our Planet or Climate...

Mankind has affected the planet to varying degrees since day one.
Its natural.

Hmmm...
Is affect the same as control?

The folks here in Oklahoma had the situation under control...
After a good 45 seconds of rumbling and shaking, didn't see one person leave a dozen three-story apartment buildings.
I'm not sure what affect that had on me....
 
“Technology Miles” Are Good

Greens don’t eat food which has been transported on ships and lorries. This is because ships and lorries produce carbon dioxide. Greens are against “food miles”

iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones and Apple Macs are also transported on ships and lorries.

The Greens like iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones and Apple Macs because they help to show the poorly pictures of Polar Bears.

Because of this, the Greens have not yet invented “technology miles”
 
Poor People Are Happy People

The Greens live the in the rich countries. Even though their lives are easy, they aren’t happy.

People in poor countries want things that people have in the rich countries. They want things to be cheap and plentiful in their own countries like food, electricity, railway travel and education.

This would make them happy.

The Greens want to poor people to stay poor and carry on living in nature. They look at pictures of them smiling and wish that they were poor and happy like them.

The Greens don’t move from rich countries to the poor countries to be happy and poor, but they do hang pictures of African people on the walls in their houses. To make them happy.
 
What Is The Greens Favourite Plant?

The Greens don’t have a favourite plant. They like all plants and even took their name, the “Greens” from the colour of leaves.

Plants have a favourite gas. It is called carbon dioxide and they grow strong and healthy when they have lots of it.

When plants first evolved there was lots more carbon dioxide in the air, but now there isn’t so much and sometimes kind farmers pump it into greenhouses so plants can grow healthy.

Ironically, Greens like plants and trees; plants and trees like carbon dioxide; but Greens hate carbon dioxide. If the plants could talk, they would probably ask for more carbon dioxide from the Greens by way of thanks. I think that this would make the Greens very grumpy. It would be quite funny to watch.

Plants thrive with more CO2. The current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is 390 parts per million (yes that is per million, it is tiny). This is shown on the far right hand-side of the picture. Just to the left is 800 ppm, these plants are bigger and healthier. Interestingly, during the Cambrian Period, when life emerged, CO2 was 8,000 ppm, 20 times the current level. More CO2 is not a problem.

Over most of the earth, CO2 is not the limiting factor to plant growth - plants are already at limits of water, light, and soil nutrients.

Right, the plants in the appropriated figure were probably grown with nice potting soil, constant everything except CO2. Not to mention that, for many species that have been examined, there's the issue of adaptive downregulation of photosynthesis in the face of elevated [CO2]. Rubisco's a smart little enzyme. Bernie's a horticulturalist and can tell us all about it. The nice thing is that even when satire is too simplistic to be effective its still funny to somebody.

If oil were a gun you would simply out law it.
Do to your combustion engine what you did to your gun... dismantle it and stop using it.

Why would I outlaw oil, I need my car, what's your point?

My point is many bogus Climate Science adherents claim it's arrogant of mankind to think we can control things like Climate, but obviously we can to some degree.

Anyone knows, if you pump a greehouse full of c02 the "greens" luv it.
Anyone whos ever grown anything, that is...
 
When I was in 6th grade, I took one of those odd 2-choice tests that supposedly tell what career you are suited for (Would you rather eat chicken-fried rabbit or play golf?). Whatever their method was, the results were that I should become a weatherman.

So -- unfulfilled weatherman espola predicts rain in our near future. There are 2 tropical storms in the northeast Pacific right now, one working its way up the Colorado River and the other looping around to the northeast north of Hawaii.

Those Sea of Cortez storms usually bring in heat, humidity and thunderstorms, and if Lester pumps some water and energy into the usual northwest to southeast Pacific wind pattern, we might see Perfect Storm California style At a minimum, we can hope that it breaks up that offshore high that has been diverting all the rainstorms north of California the last 2 years.

My point is that there are many who believe we can control climate. These folks should lead us by example. We affect climate we can't control it.
You need oil for your car. Fracking is one of many ways to retrieve the oil that is needed for your car.
It was a nice little quake...like someone shaking the bed saying get up, let's all get in the car and head off to the pitch....
See if you can arrange for it to rain in SoCal to some degree or another, we need the rain.
Maybe Magoo can help...

Don't pump it too full. Or next time you go in to do some picking you might end up helping with the composting a bit more directly than you intended. Great Darwin award nomination though.
