Like Death and Taxes, Something Else We Can Rely On13-08-2020 02:40
James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	It's hot in the desert. I am so glad that people are finally starting to realize this. Just an FYI, it rains a lot in Seattle. And yet people flock to that area when it has few natural resources. You know, arable land, water, temperate weather. You'd think that they'd be promoting solar energy research there like Iowa is one of the nation's leaders in pursuing wind turbines. I'm just not search what growing corn has to do with wind turbines. It's almost sad to think about it but eastern Washington and Oregon would make more sense because no one else needs the water from the Columbia River. And with a few reservoirs, snow melt might provide a fair amount of water. Consider snow melt is a springtime phenomena so if it's conserved, then it could help to make those 2 regions less dependent on summer rains. Phoenix has found yet another way to break heat records. The Arizona city known for scorching heat has had 35 days in which temperatures reached 110 degrees or more in 2020, breaking a record set there in 2011, KTAR reports. https://www.yahoo.com/news/phoenix-breaks-record-days-scorching-185538937.html

Very rarely we might get a day or two of torrential rain in some areas. Mostly it's just cloudy with light rain. During the autumn season we can get some nasty fogs here though. Thicker than London.

gfm7175★★★★★ (3314)	I'll add in that when I traveled through the Bighorn Mountains (Wyoming) and went to Glacier National Park (Montana) some years ago {both during the same trip in the middle of Summer}, there was plenty of snow left on the mountains yet. From what I saw, it looked like many of the mountains in that area (especially the higher the elevation) would see snowcaps year round...

Snows melt right through spring and summer in the mountains. Some of our mountains still have plenty of snow on them, even though it's August. Columbia river is the sum of a lot of rivers and streams. I swam across it three times as a kid. On Labor Day, the use to have a Cross Channel swim, were they took us across, almost to the Washington side in boats, and we jumped in a swam. It was about a mile, but it was cold and choppy, seemed a lot longer. Also know that quite a bit of the water comes from mountain storm. Use to fish the Sandy River, and Eagle Creek quite a bit. We didn't exactly follow the rules and regulations, as kids often do, so are fishing spots were difficult for adults get to, specially those in uniform. Our best (most productive for salmon) was a tough trail. near the water, and mostly cliff, just a narrow path. That narrow path would be under water in 15-20 minutes, if got got a light sprinkle. If it started rain hard, we had to ditch the gear, and anything else, and hurry, need both hands free. Our gear, wasn't really worth much, not the tradition pole and reel, usually. Never lost anything, don't think many people fished there. Sandy River wasn't that bad, though if we out on the rocks and boulders, we need to get back to shore, or risk getting a little river wet. Probably not a fun swim either...

Glacier retreat in the Yukon Territory of Canada has revealed artifacts. Some about 1,600 years old. That is about when the Roman Warm Period ended. Other "artifacts" were more recent. Hopefully you guys can understand that if melting glaciers reveal artifacts over 1,000 years old that the northern hemisphere has both warm and cool periods. In the 20 or so years since they've been travelling to ice patches in the summer, combing the edges to see if anything had melted out, researchers and their First Nations partners have found a stunning collection of tools. Among them: a 9,400-year-old, two-metre long, wooden spear; ancient arrows with intact feathers still attached to the shaft and one of the only completely intact atlatl spear throwers ever discovered in the world. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-in-the-arctic-scientists-and-first-nations-scramble-to-save-artifacts/ Archaeologists from the United Kingdom and Norway have surveyed the edges of glaciers in Norway's highest mountains in Oppland since 2011 as part of the Glacier Archaeology Program and its Secrets of the Ice Project. They've uncovered thousands of objects that date as far back as 4,000 B.C., including wooden skis, near complete bronze-age arrows and wooden shafts, Viking swords, clothing and the skulls of pack horses. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/2000-artifacts-pulled-edge-norways-melting-glaciers-180967949/

Why waste time, money, and resources on a fight, that will accomplish nothing useful in surviving the Apocalypse propagandized by The Great Al Gore? If Russians can send probes to Venus, that survive long enough to transmit images, and some sort of random data, should we be able to survive a couple of degrees warming? The 'alarming rate' is about 1-2 C per century. Very few people actually live a century. Even on the less likely premise, that global warming exists, we have plenty of time to adapt to the trend.

If it's already too late to act, why act at all? First, one must be able to specifically identify what problem to act upon.
