Frozen Delaware bay

J, for years many of scientists have been saying yea were warming and no we are not and it's a natural occurance.
Nobody is going to change your mind if you have an opinion one way or another and I'm by far a weather scientist but I can say I worked with a few "very" bright people and an astronaut that has flown two missions in the space shuttle who is a literal rocket scientist.
I am a realist and can see the outside the box. It's easy to point at at one thing and say "thats the problem" when in reality there are many to look at.

We have had these discussions on global warming, UFO's, Bigfoot, bla, bla, bla... and heres what some of the conclusions have been;

For as long as we have been keeping data and studing the earth, we know yes it is warming. But, you also have to take in "MANY" of the other factors that can cause warming to happen. Just one solar flare can punch a hole into the atmosphere and cause more damage then all of humanity will do in 100,000 years... Fact!
How can you explain that in one minute a wooly mammoth can be eating tropical plants, then froze in his tracks where he stand?
How can you explain that "ICEBERGS" were in Texas 20,000 years ago. Yes we are warming, "but" we have had 5 ice ages also that science has proven... How do you explain that?

There is just not enough data to support it one way or another, but regardless what any of us believe, "Mother nature will do as she will" and if that means destroying all of us, she will!
Lets talk about my little place in the world here in NJ. I've seen winters that we could nearly walk around in T-shirts and winters that we were "FREEZING" and a$$ deep in snow.
All the science in the world can only explain "SOME" of that. And I'll give you an example, the Gulf stream shifts can "drasticly" effect the temps and the weather of the coast and nobody knows exactly why this occurs. Is it due to heating or cooling?

Everyone can find all kinds of things to support or point things in their direction on the web. But the fact of the matter is, "NOBODY" knows for sure and man has only been industrialized for roughly 150 years. That isn't even a blink in the grand time frame of our planet and there is now way to know because we haven't been here that long to study it! All we can do is look at rocks, ice, soil, and inside trees for clues. Depending on where you go on the planet, you see different things! Heres another thing alot of people forget about, how many meteorites punch through our atmosphere a day? This will also cause more gamma radiation to bleed and assist in the heating process. All this is not cause by man and will continue to happen even if we turned off every thing thats polluting. Volcanoes will still erupt, forest fires will still occure, solar flares will still happen, gulf shifts will still happen, solar radiation and winds will still happen and just think, man isn't doing anything! Hmmmm....

 

I don't want to open that can!!!! The forum will "EXPLODE"

 

My point exactly! I lived through that and remember it well! I lost my Mother that year, 1977, she passed on January 4th and we couldn't bury her till the end of March!

 

No, but I do remember a good ice storm in Tulsa, Oklahoma! I was attending the Spartan school of aeronautics at the time...

 

WeldrDave I saw on the news that they were bringing tug icebreakers through to break up the ice so travel can continue on the delaware which is rare.

Something more rare from the cold is that the politicians even have their hands in their own pockets for once.

 

Yes Sir, Some of my colleagues are and have been busier than they have ever been. The pictures here above of the ferry, well they just shut the ferry service down until further notice. I'll be seeing penguins soon!
