I think we should have this discussion about global warming and its anthropogenic causes with trick or treaters in New England this weekend don't you?
Inches to feet of snow predicted, earliest snowfall since the Civil War. NOTHING says global warming like that!
I know, I know...it's weather, not climate. But I still think we should have this discussion in the middle of this snowstorm this weekend. The trend the last few years in the Northeast have not been towards warmer winters. rofllol
Weather and climate must have some relationship. Too bad we do not seem to understand it very well. I recall a big snowstorm right around Thanksgiving in upstate NY. That was one of those rare storms early in the season back in the early 70's. I'm quite interested to see we've already had a couple of snow falls this year in the Front Range. Can't help but wonder if early snow is a function of higher humidity associated with overall minor increases in global air temperature. Simply an idle question on my part.
Three previous particularly cold intervals: one beginning about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850. Humm.. interesting . When mentioning the short term periodicity on another thread, I did not know the duration. If one takes these facts into consideration, perhaps we can extract a figure for short term warming and cooling cycles every 100 to 150 years or so. If true, then we ought to be experiencing a turn around very soon to much cooler weather and global cooling cycle. Given those thoughts, and the current interesting early snow developments, it is tempting to speculate if early snow somehow marks the crest of the current warming trend.

The official AGW spin on big snowfalls is that they are a result of warmer air holding higher moisture levels. Whatever! I just know this week's snowstorm was a very heavy, wet, one.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Well, that certainly is true and it is the main reason CO2 levels can increase. It does not consider possible implications beyond weather forecasting. I'm too lazy to research this and try to put some science together on it. Need to focus on natural gamma radiation in rocks instead. Solutions to why that is the way it is will help me pay my bills.
