Global cooling: has it had any impact on you?
1 I felt that the spring/fall shifted...came 2 weeks earlier. The summer was not so hot or the winter so cold. We had lots of snow (warmer weather has more snow).
To see the polar caps melting on TV hurt me to see polar bears drown and more soil showing. There is an asteroid coming close...it it hit the U.S. It would change our weather.
2 It's hotter. We had 59 days of 100+ degrees this past Summer. I wish it would cool down!
This two week period we've been going through thanks to the Arctic cold front which came down have been so nice. If it was like this for a couple of months, it wouldn't bother me. But, this is South Texas, so I'm sure we can look forward to more and more heat during the Summer.
If we went into a perpetual state of cooling and the temps never got above 70 - 75, I'd be dancing in the streets every day! .
3 We've only lived in the Tucson area for about 5 years. This has been the coldest winter we've experienced since we've been here. We've been told that this passed summer was not as hot as usual.
4 2009 global average temperatures through October (the last report that I've heard of) were the 5th highest on record.
An April 28, 1975 article in Newsweek magazine was titled "The Cooling World",33 it pointed to "ominous signs that the Earth's weather patterns have begun to change" and pointed to "a drop of half a degree Fahrenheit in average ground temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere between 1974-06-247 and 1974-06-243." The article claimed "The evidence in support of these predictions of global cooling has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it." The article mentioned the alternative solutions of "melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting Arctic rivers" but conceded these were not feasible.
The Newsweek article concluded by criticizing government leaders: "But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies...The longer the planners (politicians) delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.".
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
