Yes climate change is about extreme weather. Which your link is pointing out.

The same reason most of the Nothern Hemispheres were covered in ice 50,000 years ago, then the ice receded.

Cyclical weather patterns.

that might have something to do with the oceans current patterns.


I'm only speculating on the Polar ice warming.



it appears that the warm currents are shifting north and south toward the poles, warming the poles; ice free waters in the North Pole, increasing ice shelf breakage in Antartica.



the warming of the poles maybe a prelude to a great freeze.

there are other factors may influence Ice creation and melt. a large meteor strike or volcanic eruption from a super-volcano can drastically change the climate very fast.

My avocado tree says otherwise, this year!

After watching most of a documentary on the Yellowstone Volcano and the impending eruption I decided that the Volcano will win the race in destroying this continent. Depending on the prevailing winds at the time of the eruption it could easily blanket most, if not all, of the Western states in 5-10 feet of hot ash and fill the atmosphere with tons of smoke and light ash to travel farther than the lower altitude rock and ash spewed up 10's of 1,000's of feet. It sort of makes banning plastic straws marginal.

The modeling they were discussing put California under about 10 feet of hot ash, speaking of straws.

That Yellowstone Super Vocano senario is downright scary. It could put and end to life as we know it.

Default t shirts for sale: plastic is fantastic

destroying and limiting the growth of the plastic floating in the ocean will harm and destroy the habitat of small creatures living in, under and around it

just as you cant clear the undergrowth in California forests, you mustn't destroy the plastic

As WTF posts, his pup tent is sitting on former "sea floor"!

And all that oil and gas in Texas he bitches about and marginalizes came from sea life being deposited, covered, and transformed into energy to gather and sell around the country to make lots of money!

So if all the naysayers are correct, .....

.... all that water was "sucked up" into the ice packs and is now melting TO RETURN AGAIN!

It's sad that all the dinosaurs were killed off by the factories and automobiles with which man trashed the Earth ... nothing like a big dinosaur hunt when they were in season! If man hadn't fucked that up we could have dinosaur rodeos and circuses and in the zoos.

Lexus Lover, do you remember what network the Yellowstone documentary was on? I just did a search on cable and couldn’t find it. Thanks!

National Geographic has had it. Smithsonian is what I saw it on recently. I've seen it before.

https://www.smithsonianchannel.com/s...cano/0/3402154

As an aside/history, I was in Butte, Montana when the big earthquake hit that area in the late 50's. It changed "Old Faithful." We ain't lunch at a park along the river up there and drove on to Butte where we stayed that night. All those campers at the park died, because the mountain next to the park broke in half and slid down over the park with tons of rock and debris. It damned up the river and other campers up stream started climbing for high ground in the dark, but many drowned. It was a disaster, but no 24/7 TV coverage with cell phones like today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1959_H...ake_earthquake

That region ... Mt. St. Helena ... is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity (associated with quakes). Yellowstone Super makes St. Helena look like a bad summer breeze. If you snooped around up there after the St. Helena it looked "ugly" for years. It's getting nice again.
