Climate Changes

I've got so much faith in our mother earth, that I just added a new toy to my toychest. Arctic Cat Thundercat 1994. Speedo only goes to 100 mph, but the guy I got it from was clocked on radar doing 110 mph. See what happens when you can't play with your rocks?

Ron

Ron, you be careful with that kitty cat, those things go from zero to dead in a heartbeat!! Last I knew they can accelerate faster than any other motorized contraption there is.

Hawk, I have a place on Lake Michigan. The lake level can vary up to 12 inches in a matter of months. It still really makes me wonder!! If Lake Michigan drops 12 inches, that means that Lake Huron has dropped 12 inches and so on as some of the great lakes are connected. Can you imagine how much water that is for just 1 inch with that kind of total surface area??!! Wow, too much for me to comprehend!

Now if any of the rivers around here go up or down 12 inches, bunches of people would know about it!! I don't know much about what 11 inches would make with the oceans, but that must be a bunch of water when totaled up too!! It's kind of hard to grasp some of these things when I can't even comprehend how big the world is. Bill

Awww Ron, you've been ruined now by that kitty cat. Now you'll have ugly tracks all over the pretty woods where only a jeep had priorly traveled. Not to mention stinky oily gas smell. Poor poor pretty woods.

Chas, the magma has left lave tubes that are open. They perforate the entire globe. This has been a great worry for me. I haven't slept much over it. All it takes is one more major eruption and poof, the oceans dissappear.
The entire ocean mass will be a layer between the magma core, and the surface. The entire surface will have no water, even in the aquifer.
We will be living on Arrikis!

Isn't this the whole premise behind that stupid NBC show Surface? That these huge creatures are burrowing all over the place and destroying the earth's crust and whole lakes are disappearing? OMG that show is sooo bad.

We were always at war with Eurasia, we were never at war with Eurasia.
When I was in the Arctic, I saw evidence of the melt. I saw a connifer growing in the Tundra.
The earth is as delicate as the human body. It is as interconnected to systems as we are a chemical balance. Add an item here, and the change occurs there.
The Humbolt current, and the Gulf stream govern the temperatures on the East coast, and the Left coast. That being said, it takes time for any changes to take place. The inertia resists change much like a gyroscope. When the earthquake occured in the Indian ocean last year, it moved an underwater land mass. The Humbolt current is already feeling the effects, as people in Seattle, and Portland are already seeing. Medford is also seeing interesting climatical changes.
So, as the gyroscope tries to return to neutral, so does the current. However, as with the gyroscope, it will take a tilt and stay steady untill the tilt moves the center.
It all is going to be interesting to watch.
A few theories from some of the more unique folks I know and went to college with show some really interesting effects. The earth is still ringing from the quake, and most of them predict major pole shifting and really unique environmental consequences.
Most however predict major storms as a routine occurrence. The center origination, and severity of hurricanes is changing. A few are predicting, the major hurricanes are going to go a distance over land. Some are predicting, tornado alley is going to really be stepped up this year.
Maybe we will get a chance to find out first hand, what the legends were really about.

I watched a really cool show on one of the science channels a couple of weeks ago about "The Flip." (About the climate changes & how the Poles are changing as we speak)
Didn't know anything about the whole thing before watching the program but now look for any info related to the subject. Was telling a customer about it and all of a sudden found out he worked for NASA about 8 years ago...yea a freakin rocket scientist! Anywho...I found the subject facinating!

Hermy, do you know what is black, crispy, and hangs from the ceiling?

NOW NOW careful here!
OK the funniest Polish joke i've seen in a while (yes I'm Polish)
A Polish immergrant goes into the DMV to apply for a driver's license and is told he has to take an eye exam.
The Examiner shows him a card with the letters: C Z J W I X N O S T A C Z
"Can you read this?" the examiner asks.
"Read it?" The immergrant replies, "Hell, I Know the guy."
