Eisboch See the NASA satellite photo at this site: http://www.nrdc.org/globalwarming/qthinice.asp#4 The arctic ice has retreated, by quite a lot, in the last 25 or 30 years. Without getting into a debate about whether man has any ability to pollute or otherwise despoil his environment, increasing frequency and severity of weird weather- locally hot or cold, locally wet or dry, can be an indicator that the weather engine of the planet is becoming overheated. Our customary weather patterns are generated by the movement of wind and water in response to temperature differences at the poles vs. the equator. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to appreciate that when the relationship changes so will the way in which winds and currents circulate. The meltoff of the actic ice accelerates the warming process at the poles- less ice to reflect solar energy allows more heat to enter the water, thereby increasing melt and reducing the ice even more. So, whether the combustion of fossil fuel has anything to do with it or not, or whether cow farts, volcanoes, or photosynthesis are to blame, and regardless of the fact that the climate has changed before the global climate is changing again. The current change is happening much faster than most in geologic history. *If* current trends continue we will see unprecedented rates of change, with dramatic climate shifts within the span of a single human lifetime. Contrary as it sounds, a snow storm in a normally temperate climate in May or June can be a confirmation rather than a refutation of the global warming situation. As boaters, we are in a class of folks that probably includes farmers, house painters, etc....... we're more tuned in to weather than most people. I suspect that just as we marvel at how much technology has changed in the last few decades we will soon be marveling at how much the climate has changed in a similar period of time. |

Supposed to get up to the 70s and 80s later this week, I think. Cooler weather this week is ok with me, as I hope to get most of my new kitchenette build done. Found a nice surprise for my wife. She wanted to put a potted plant (no, not me) in a particular corner where no sunshine ever goes, and was thinking of finding a grow lamp to put above it. I found a Leviton 24 hour programmable light switch that looks like all the other light switches in the house, so I'm going to put a 6" recessed fixture in the ceiling over that spot. Well, let me phrase that properly. I'll install the fixture and put the box in for the switch. Got an electrician coming in to wire up the kitchenette; he'll wire the fixture and switch. I don't do AC wiring. :} |
