If you kinda thought the weather was wild this year, you were right. The most ice lost is taking place right while you read this. A large chunk was broken up by a freak storm. Another similar on is on its way. The question that no one knows the answer to, is… will this affect the circulation pattern.
We all know in our lives that as human beings we can put up with aggravation rather well, unless we are Type A. Whether it is aggravation from our boss, from our spouse, from our in-laws, from our choir director, from that guy selling papers on the corner,… we put up with it, accepting it as the normal course of business. Except once or twice in our lives, we just snap. And the consequences of that, momentary snap, cause big changes… maybe in our employment, maybe in our marriage, maybe in our in-law’s will, maybe from the choir director’s husband, maybe from the police…. things change for us in a big way…..
That is how we have to see this. From a mud core taken from an ancient lake, Lough Monreach, in Ireland in 2009 it was discovered that in a matter of one month 12,900 years ago, we went from normal seasonal temperatures to an ice age. The cause came from a switch in ocean currents. As cold fresh water entered the ocean, warm water stopped flowing north. That Ice Age lasted 1300 years before the thaw returned. It flipped in one month…. 30 days more or less.
So is that happening?
The science is too big. We don’t know. It will be like on the Day after Tomorrow where we first find out from buoys scattered across the Atlantic. It cannot be predicted.
What can be foretold is that the earth has never had this much stress before during civilized mans span on earth. Do you know when you snap, or does it take you off guard as well?
That is where we are…
Of course nothing could come about it… Just like when your boss insults you in front of all your staff, your office competitor’s staff, and ridicules you like you have never been before… You just take it…
The boss tells your competitor… “I knew he was a wus… I wasn’t worried one bit… you have nothing to worry about him…”
Republicans will say in Tampa:… “I knew it was a scam…. I wasn’t worried one bit… we have nothing to worry about burning carbon fuels and putting carbon dioxide into the air.”
News Flash: The earth is not a wus……..

There are dozens and dozens of great links within the Climate Code Red link posted by kavips, this as one example.

Perhaps as people read about the vast variety of the changes taking place, they will realize their futures are in the hands of special interests and their politicians, who are doing relatively zero to stop climate change. Mitigation is a different subject; mitigation is adaptation that would attempt to deal with the results of climate change, the effects rather than the cause – not dealing with the continuing cause.
There are also hundreds of videos by the most reliable of sources, that are very effective in relating the scientists’ findings to the average person. The climate scientists work with complex computer programs, calculations, climate histories, planet data, terminology, etc that would be meaningless to the average person. Climate scientists have realized what they know, has not be passed along to the people who need to know, what their future holds. In fact, the public has been misinformed (in simple, unscientific terms,) by special interest groups and their own political ‘leaders’ in many cases.
The following video for example, ‘Permafrost Is Thawing Rapidly,’ explains melting permafrost releasing methane gas, a gas that is 25 times more powerful a greenhouse gas than CO2. It helps the average person understand what is happening and what skeptics and deniers, don’t want the public to know.
As a tiny sampling of what’s available to the public now, see videos Permafrost Is Thawing Rapidly, Glaciers Shrinking at Alarming Rate and Rise of Sea Levels Is Accelerates, here:

It’s time for politicians to represent the best interests of the people, instead of fossil fuel interests.
Rmoney and Ryan are stating upfront and outright, they have the interests of the fossil fuel industries in mind and expect republican voters to think, that’s a good thing. Really?
