I received my restricted license at 14. A licensed driver had to be sitting in the front seat. I got my regular license at 16My nephew turns 16 tomorrow and isn't all that excited about getting his driver's license. In fact he's putting it off until a date to be determined. What the hell? The day I got my license was one of the best days of my life. Kids these days. Thank God I grew up when I did.
Yes, the ice cores are a source of evidence. Evidence there has been ice for a long time. Let me know when the ice core tells you how many times that particular ice has been thawed and refrozen prior to the core being taken. By their own words we know that climate "scientists" disregard ice samples that fall outside the parameters they set prior to drilling. Read that to say, if it doesn't prove the narrative, it is disregarded.The ice cores are a source of evidence. So is biogeography. Our present plant distribution reflecting present zoonotic distributions of climating microhabitats. We've lost lots of info. Still our knowledge of western forests ecosystems contain amazing amounts of zoonotic inforamation of detailing climatic information for who care to investigate and make it their business to know the history. When combined with overlapping anthrplogical investigations we have some good stuff. Plant distribution migrations followed climate. Temporal and seastonal fluctuations somewhat irrelavent. We have strong evidence the climate has gotten warmer and drier for the last 10,000 years. The biomes of isolated Arizona's "Sky Islands" stand as millions of acres of evidence. There is some evidence of recent cooling. Whether it's significant remains to be seem.

Obviously a terrific decision . . .
Congratulations!

No. The plant history of the western United States is not indicative of the global climate. It may give a rough idea of the prevailing weather patterns at the time the plants thrived, in the area they thrived.
All we can do is follow the real science and take it easy. There is no such thing as a global thermometer, but we have access to the closest thing there is. Satellites Satellites confirm that urban heat islands provide ALL the evidence of global warming.
Let's forget all the science. All you need to know to know man made climate change is bogus is to listen to the words they use. "might be", "could be", "may", "if". How many "point of no return"s have we been through already?
Truth is declarative. It doesn't have assumptions, variables, or convoluted definitions.
You owe it to the people to tell them the truth. I've got this guy who's going to write a book I'm editing. Why don't you let us throw in a few chapters written by you?
If it was real, we would see real, provable evidence and not circumstantial assumptions based on correlation.
Who are you by the way? Some Random UK fan?
Were you good at it?Did you miss the part where he made me get my license rather than going to play softball?
Even with your own observations above you also in an earlier post eluded to what I posted before and that is that recent trends in weather has it cooling in the last 10 years or so. As we all know from science the earth has gone through many periods of warming and cooling over the billions of years of existence and the assertion that man is the reason for global warming is really the basis for skepticism today. Given the fact that those who push the agenda don't even follow their own guidance lends to the suspicion of an ulterior motive behind the push.
The refreezing of thawed ice cores would destroy the layer features of deposition over time and display physical structure indicative of refreezing that could be easily seen. I assure you, native plant community associations and their distribution patterns are absolutely correlated to climatic conditions that create the suitable habitat conditions allowing them to exist. They're not particularly mobile i.e. they're transported in some form. That makes that information the definitive recorded evidence of climatic maximum/minimum temperatures and precipitation amounts during the periods in which they occured. It's not a WAG or a presumptive theory to promote a manipulative narrative of disinformation. We were able not only to identify vegetative community associations but the associated zoological fauna associated with these botanical communities. There's what, some 5 or 6 billion years of earth history. The more recent event the more we generally know about it. Plant communities are products of the climate. The animals products of the biotic communities (biomes) that nourishes (supporting) them. Think free market economy. They function the same via competitive consumptive trophic levels. There is no doubt of the localized impacts of urban heat islands. I share your suspicions of disinformation but there is biotic evidence that lend support a warming global narrative. For me, the claims that global climate fluctuations are result of human activities appears largely coincidental correlation with a subjective causation analysis without credibile sourced knowledge of historical evidence. I donot rule out fake news. I'll bring the science rant to a close with this. Good to know I don't owe anyone nuttin', not a cotton pickin' thang. See, I don't pay much attention to opinions of people because they're generally poorly informed so they make crap up. Oh, while I'm thinking about it. Book chapters concerning what topic(s)?

My wife took the first and has experienced chest and stomach pains and has decided not to for go the second. She will lose her job Dec 9th. That will be $3800.00 less a month after taxes coming in to our household. Yes, it will hurt but, we can do it.Good Morning D League
LOOK AT THAT MOON OUTSIDE. It is spectacular this morning. The moon and stars seem to be getting brighter and more spectacular. Maybe it has something to do with this global warming thing. I tell you I would willing sacrifice a ,00000001 increase in our temperature over the next 1,000 years for a glimpse of that moon in the sky over my back yard.
Our temperature is 58° and clear and a high of 82° is forecast for this afternoon. . People are being fired all over the country for making a personal decision not to take the shot. Individual decisions are fast fading away. Do what the government says or you get fired. Amerika the Land of The Free. Trust all have a nice day and prayers for those in need.

The Director got her first shot on 12-28-20.........the second on 1-28-21............it has left her with a gimpy shoulder.........she says a pain shoots through it every time that she tries to raise her arm above shoulder height.....I am not going to get The Shot.............My wife took the first and has experienced chest and stomach pains and has decided to for go the second.

The Director and myself enjoy the photos very much......This was a similar scene last night and this morning. The Weeki Wachee River making it's way to the Gulf of Mexico. Ah nature.
I was living in Jacksonville, FL at that time and we got snow. It was a big deal for the natives.This was a similar scene last night and this morning. The Weeki Wachee River making it's way to the Gulf of Mexico. Ah nature.

In 1977 I got up one January morning and went outside to get the paper. To my surprise a blanket of snow was in my front yard. 250 miles to the South of us in Miami they had snow. For the next months all the weather reporting was we are headed to an ice age that will paralyze the earth. Then summer came an old man sun came out. But it was fun being in an Ice Age for a few months.

I took this picture near Bakersfield, CA. My wife and i were headed down Interstate 5 when it started snowing real hard. We pulled off of the next Rest Area and started snowball fighting. We had not seen snow in about 10 years and thought it might be fun.It snowed in Bakersfield, CA in 1999. I lost a big limb in a big oak tree in my front yard.

I will buy what you send with very much appreciation......
awf, I missed this BUT, I will send the two boxes I purchased plus I will piece together another box to get you three boxes (150 rounds) if that's okay? They are leaving in the morning. I have a couple other boxes of .380 but I will look to make sure they are whole boxes.
I will drive over tomorrow and pick myself up some more. IF I check and can send four boxes I will. I will post again in the morning letting you know what I can send.

It got pretty damn cold in Northern Kentucky that year of 1977. I was a college sophomore on the hoops team at Northern Kentucky U. I can remember walking about half way across the Ohio River -- we could have walked all the way, but were already freezing. Then my crazy buddy actually drove his Volkswagen Beetle a little ways out on the river at a ferry ramp in Brent, before snapping out of it.I was living in Jacksonville, FL at that time and we got snow. It was a big deal for the natives.
I had a friend around the same time, Woody Blackburn, who decided to land his private plane on the frozen Ohio river. He, and the plane, fell through. Woody has not been found yet.It got pretty damn cold in Northern Kentucky that year of 1977. I was a college sophomore on the hoops team at Northern Kentucky U.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and cloudy. Our high should reach 85°F. We'll start enjoying fall again here in a few weeks.
Pup getting better. I let her out of the crate and she follows me here into the office. Can hardly wait until this is over. and she's again well.
Happy Hump Day!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Wow. I thought my buddy was nuts driving a 1,800 pound VW out on the river. I will never forget how cold it was that winter though. A good age to know lots of college girls in cheap apartments with poor heat. People would do about anything just to stay warm.I had a friend around the same time, Woody Blackburn, who decided to land his private plane on the frozen Ohio river. He, and the plane, fell through.

One of my great aunts died that year and the ground was so frozen they could not bury her for what seemed like weeks.

Ah, the Brent Ferry. Perhaps I've mentioned before. Used to walk down the hill to it as a kid/teenager. There was a food truck using it this summer.

Did you happen to know Bill Aker, the baseball coach then? He & a cousin of mine wound up getting married. Great guy.It got pretty damn cold in Northern Kentucky that year of 1977. I was a college sophomore on the hoops team at Northern Kentucky U.
As you can see it is Stone Crab season around here. I believe it is one of my favorite things out of the Gulf. When you take a stone crab you can not kill the crab and you can only take one claw. You break off one and throw the crab back in the water and it will regrow the missing claw. These claws are headed to Pelican Point Seafood in Tarpon

I didn't mean the ice core itself had been melted. I was talking about the ice the core was taken from.
Yes I was. I played organized baseball from 8 to 18 and was offered a position pitching for Eastern Kentucky. Softball was easy for me.Were you good at it?
Did you give them the day off? By the way "staff" would be a more acceptable nomenclature.I was living in Jacksonville, FL at that time and we got snow. It was a big deal for the natives.
That's a humble brag right there. I was in Bakersfield in 1982 and I don't remember seeing any oak trees. Bet you had them imported to remind you of home. Did you know Randolph Hearst?It snowed in Bakersfield, CA in 1999. I lost a big limb in a big oak tree in my front yard.

That's because you are a cisgendered heterosexual male. If you weren't, you would have no trouble staying warm wherever you pleased. In the park, on the subway, at the fish market. In fact you can live on the sidewalk and stay warm with your man of the hour to your hearts content. Just make sure neither of you sparks up a cigarette! SF is a civilized society and will not tolerate public smoking of tobacco! Medical marijuana is OK because the smoke is not toxic.What is the old saying:
The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.
Now THAT'S a train!
