It’s so wild the number of intense and far-reaching issues that have taken up news time lately. Just a little while ago we had a hurricane problem. Then a war with Russia possibly looming. And then at that point Sarah Palin took all the focus. What she experienced enough to become [...]

Downed Spy Satellite Could Affect Weather
January 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments
I read on Yahoo today that an ailing American spy satellite has gone rogue (i.e., we’ve lost control) and will make its way through our atmosphere to our surface. Perhaps it will land in the ocean, or on a deserted stretch of land. One particular detail caught my eye.
“The satellite, which no longer [...]

More Snow This Season
January 1st, 2008 · No Comments
In years past, it’s seemed like no matter how hard we wished, Christmas and New Year’s just didn’t have enough snow to feel “perfect.”
This year all that has changed. We’ve gotten plenty of snow, and almost exactly on schedule. It’s weird.
Does this mean we’re getting more snow than usual? Is Global Warming [...]

Lots Of Snow Before Winter Begins

Could this be a sign of Global Warming?
I’ve heard that the seasons seem to be shifting to an earlier schedule. What if Global Warming doesn’t warm the planet, but instead simply shifts the seasonal rotation back by a month?
Or maybe all our calendars are off? Oh well. At least we’ll have a [...]

What If Winter Never Ends?
December 17th, 2007 · No Comments
In “The Day After Tomorrow,” Global Warming caused a major climate shift that plunged the earth into a new ice age. Could that happen in real life? Could it happen now?
What if the ocean currents, diluted by melting polar ice caps, have shifted? What if the earth’s thermal conveyor belt system has [...]

Substantial Snow Storm Soon
December 15th, 2007 · No Comments
Hotter highs, colder lows. I wonder if all the major weather events of the past 50 years were partly the fault of Global Warming?
I’ve heard that GW isn’t just responsible for increasing temperatures, but also will cause more storms of all types.
Maybe we’ve engineered our own snowstorms? Either way, it’s time to hunker [...]

Weather Manipulation
December 8th, 2007 · No Comments
If we had a mad scientist develop a weather machine, and we truly could control the weather, we could solve global warming and work toward ending world hunger. We’d be able to send rain to deserts and allow farmers to grow far more crops. We could make it cool in hot areas using [...]

Hotter Air Harder To Breathe?
November 29th, 2007 · No Comments
When it gets cold outside during winter, the air gets really dry. I sometimes enjoy that, because the air seems cleaner, and easier to breathe. So I’m wondering if excess humidity would make it harder to breathe. I think it would.
The hotter earth gets, the hotter the air gets. Since warmer [...]

Crazy Weather Nature’s Way To Fix The Air?
November 24th, 2007 · No Comments
If we pollute and pollute and pollute, and throw all kinds of dust and dirt and chemicals and greenhouse gases up in the air, will some major storms and high winds clean it all up?
Are tropical storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and the like similar to automated pool cleaners? Do they move around spontaneously for various [...]
Warmer Winter, or Wild Weather?
November 17th, 2007 · No Comments
From what I’ve heard about Global Warming, it basically entails more extremes in weather. More droughts, more flooding. More blizzards, and hurricanes. More tornadoes and tropical storms. But I was watching a news program recently and they were discussing how the warming might lessen our heating bills by providing for a [...]
