Welcome to the January 9, 2015 Post Game Show for Mojo Friday!
Greg Laden's blog this past weekend talks about how it can be so cold if global warming / climate changing are happening. I continue to be amazed at how parochial people can be. [Yes, that's a nicer way of putting it than saying they can't see past the end of their nose].
Hey, out there ... it get's cold in the winter. It snows! In our quiz below, let us know how cold it got where you are!
I remember living in Washington D.C. as a navy brat. Washington is the classic "southern city in a northern location." It snows every year (or nearly so). And every time it snows, the city reacts as if it's the storm of the decade.
I was sponsoring some research at the National Center of Research 30 years ago (plus or minus) ... on climate change. In those briefings they highlighted the major observation that with global warming, you get more energy in the global atmospheric system, which means you have a lot more intensity and variability in the weather. Extremes on both fronts. Hot and cold.
Meanwhile, it is winter. For most of us, it's just an inconvenience (more winter clothing, higher heating bills). For some of us, it's painful (trading off money for heat vs food for example). For others, it's life threatening.
Please help those in need. That applies at all times of the year, but especially now.
[For bsegel, I might exclude San Diego from that, as he tends to rub it in with his local weather forecasts. Just sayin']
But now for the fun.
