    Then why didn't you just go right to the source.. the video? Why have others do the thinking for you?

    Why don't you just go pester someone else instead of trolling and insulting me?

    Haha, well played. There's no doubt my maturity level peaked at around 25. That's why I volunteer for events with kids, we're all at the same level LOL.

    Looming Weak Solar Activity May Herald Frosty Times: 'Current solar cycle, possibly the weakest in 100 years, is approaching its maximum. This may signal a future low period for the sun, probably not unlike the one that caused the Little Ice Ag

    All I know is that we have had too many days under the polar vortex around here. More snow tomorrow and we have had virtually no melt down from the previous snow days. My snow blower has been spewing plenty of C02 into the air.

    Interesting isn't it. This the highest ever recorded max temp in our region was recorded in the last month of summer.

    Still two weeks of summer remaining and the temperature is consistently 100 degs F most days.

    Who knows he term, 'season degradation' may be something worth thinking about as a possible explanation.

    Just a suggestion

    what we know is that things change, in the northern hemisphere the jet stream has come further south, in the southern hemisphere the monsoon is late and we are in drought but I remember those polar blasts last winter we are just lucky we are closer to the equator than they are, we are also experiencing a lower number of cyclones which have a moderating effect on the weather

    Hello again,

    FYI.....

    We've LOST the war before right wingers even acknowledged we had one. The damage we've done to our planet is BEYOND the tipping point.. It's over. The 6th Great Extinction is underway. Move to high ground. That might give you a couple years.

    Yes, you can quote me.

    Funny how when the climate doesn't cooperate with your fear mongering you just get even more apocalyptic, i.e. you drank the Koolaid.

    Ex you want to get biblical on us, the Lord said that the Earth would be destroyed by fire, we take that to mean a sudden confligration and if temperatures rise far enough it might be. This season where I live there are fires right across the country and drought is certainly apocalyptic, but this is a small part of a big Planet. I'm glad you agree we are beyond the tipping point and moving to higher ground isn't going to help you as crops are destroyed and more and more good farming country is covered by concrete and we are already using the ariable land. An ELE you say, biblically we are promised a new Earth

    Blame this one on climate change or for climate change
    Tens of thousands evacuated, flights cancelled, as Indonesia's Mt Kelud volcano erupts - Australia Network News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    this is the second Indonesian volcano in eruption mode and this is far more massive that the first, remember we are only ever five volcanos away from nuclear winter, so I expect this one will be a game changer for the time being, Just the other day we were told that an indonesian volcano is responsible for the foul weather in the UK, apparently it has disrupted the jet stream or destabilised other weather systems. I would like to know who is to blame for the CO2 and methane and other greenhouse gasses it is spewing, can we count that against Indonesian targets, do they even have a target?

    Clete ,you have to get your talking points straight ... Volcanic activity and other seismic shifts are caused by fracking.

    Whether we call it climate change or any other PC label, fact is man has proved to be inadequate in dealing with any of Mother Nature's challenges. Be it hurricanes, tornadoes, snow, rain, or drought... and now volcanoes??

    We can't even deal it seems with the man made stuff.

    Tom there is no need for language like that, in fact the Indonesian eruptions are caused by the release of Shapelle Corby and the attendant rush of hot air from the media which has destablised the the region. Indonesia is shaken by the possibility that Shapelle should be allowed to speak about her time in an Indonesian prison, volcanic indeed
