Global Warming?

How about this information, found on Accuweather’s website today, how do you parse it?:

High temperatures will soar to near record levels across the Upper Midwest and the northern Plains Saturday. Sunshine along with southerly winds on the backside of high pressure will boost temperatures in the 40s and 50s. The record high in Minneapolis, MN, Saturday is 51 set back in 1834 . AccuWeather.com is projecting a high of 52. Meanwhile, Des Moines, IA, will approach 60 degrees this afternoon but will fall short of the record of 65 in 1946.

Bolded text in above quote is my emphasis. Those are the details that should pop out and bring to mind, we are not seeing high temperatures in the Upper Midwest as a result of Global Warming, or any other such thing. It’s normal cycles … normal cycles are things that go up and down, worse, nicer … not totally “normal” as that word means other places, in weather, “normal” usually means, “average temps” or “average rain” or “average snow” etc.

That’s because nothing is the same all the time year after year, but up and down, worse, nicer … you know, if you have been alive long enough and interested in weather patters, you will know that all winters are not as cold as the ones before, or maybe are colder, or wetter, or more dry. Same goes for hot summers in the south or the north. Rain, and other weather things.

Historical things are what need connected with. Think past yourself, of the ones who lived before you … generations after generations of folks that lived through weather ups and downs.

Some people have that connection with the past. Others don’t. I do naturally. It CAN be learned though. Give it a try.

    Quite right. You might like this lecture from Dr. Robinson, if you haven’t seen it already.

    Thank you Chad, for the link. No, I had’t seen it before. I appreciate others linking to things. I don’t “drudge” up my own stuff usually 😉 I really appreciate collaborative efforts and sharing, you know, community stuff, the ribs of Agrarianism 🙂

    You’ve posted on my other site, or sent an email through a page or something, before, about some Christian Agrarian articles I have posted. I never got back to you, so sorry!

    I’m in the slow process of changing things over to:

    Agrarianlife.com. Which is a project I’ve not had as much time to work on as I’d like. 🙁

    In any case, it’s now intended to be a “group blog” about living the agrarian life, actually doing it, or working towards it in the future, and have articles like the ones I have from Howard King, and any other things that crop up as useful, needful, and such.

    We need to have multiple agrarian sites out there and my Agrarianlife site has been waiting for me to really put it into action. I did have a message board set up last year and had no activity at all, of course I did no promotion, except in some of Howard King’s email newsletters.

    I work in bursts, getting deeply into topics when they rear up, and I’m feeling the agrarian topic rearing up again, and hope to kick out some good work and read up some more on it. I have a daily living of it and desire to do much more with it in real life, but haven’t beefed up on my reading, in other words.

    I find it amusing that so many lectures are offered on the supposed departure from climatic norms, especially considering that here in the midwest few communities have been keeping records for over 100 years. I read a climatology report on the 20th century and found that in northern IL, a few of the ten warmest winters were in the first decade. A few of the coldest winters were observed in the 7th, 8th, and 9th decade. I am pretty sure the glaciers are coming back!

    I often wondered upon hearing the old folks boast of the monster winters they were used to observing.”When we was kids the snow was so deep and the winters so cold all you could see was the tallest trees and an occasional chimney. Fact was, snowed so hard the roads weren’t plowed out for weeks!” Of course, back then they were plowing with horses versus the hundreds of trucks currently on the county roster, but I don’t suppose that made much of a difference. Looking at the record book, I was not surprised to observe that the snowfall reports were not much different than what I have observed in my lifetime!
