I write a lot about Global Warming and Global Climate Change here on this Blog. This post will be about weather but on a much smaller scale and much more personal.
On the 2nd of April here, we had snow on the ground.
And then a few days later, on the 5th and the 7th of April, we had days of record breaking heat here. And I mean record-breaking. Records fell in this area on both days. One record advanced from 68F to 72F.
So, what does this prove? Nothing – in and of itself, not a thing. It could just be a statistical fluke. We know they happen every once in a while. But, the scientists are telling us that one way the weather will change as global climate change gets up and starts to run with our future is that our weather will experience wider and harder swings. More rain when it rains, less rain when it’s dry. Bigger storms when it’s storming.
It’s something to think about long and hard. Are the summers and winters the way you remember them as a kid? Who do the climate skeptics think they are kidding?
