Man what heppened here at this page?
Although the el nino effect is a decadal event within the enviro dynamic life of the earths surface changes, the margins or breadth of curve swings IS Increasing. This is metoeroligical record, not enviro terrorist propaganda as so many of you seem to wish. The increase, altho too small for most to people to recognize, is enough that the other, indicator, organisms which inhabit this planet with us are not only noticing, they're negatively impacted.
It's true the earth can recover, but it can only recover to the extent of it's own doing. Unfortunalety it is limited to the extent of the parameters of it's own doing. It isn't capable of compensating for syntesized efffectual impact caused mankinds disregard of natural system functions which normally purge, refresh & replenish Mother earth.
For those not fmiliar with enviromental sciences, it's like this, Drum brakes are great as long as we drive easy & reasonably they work fine in all but a few cases. But to Improve stopping ability "jerk" applies a booster. Presto he doesn't have to push as hard and stops fine with less pressure on the foot pedal.
BUT inside his brake system, amplified PSI on friction surface to drum swept area contact patch is X'd by what ever the increased rate of an added booster may be. Since only the booster, and perhaps M-Cyl got changed to gain this luxurious but false sense of increased safety, the drum based system can no longer dissapate heat it was never intended to create or deal with. But what the hell, "jerk" can't detect the heat, or see the damage. His brakes appear to him to be fine. So he takes a trip and gets into heavy traffic. It's slow & go at 60-65-70 mph.
Suddenly somebody up ahead screws up, "jerk" has to panic stop, Oh Oh He's pressing hard as he can, as he slams into traffic ahead of him. Now I ask you friends, is that when he should try to repair his braking deficiencies he did not even realize he had? I think not, it's probably a good time to go a Hospital get checked & heal.
So pooh pooh the facts y'all reject, don't understand, or have no clue beyond what you may think. The heck with Al Gore. He's no environmental Scientist, he's a damn politician, a name, a personality. He did not dream up what he wrote, he compiled what other people in the field of environmental science wrote, into his book. Then somebody else made a movie based on his book which he appears in. It's not about Al Gore, or any individual.
It's about our Mother, Earth, a physical mechanism that nurtures us & supports us & all other life on this planet. Ignoring what's going on around us doesn't make it go away, it makes it worse. Longer it gets ignored, worse it all becomes.
I obviously have a dog in this fight. I've probably more experience within this field than most people who have formed opinions on it. BUT the success of the planet as a bio dynamic entity is based in the balance of functions & not an ablilty to recover from artificial or synthesized desicrations caused by players uncounted in natures scheme of things, like interventions, overindulgence and Enviro Arrogance brought about by Human Impacts.
Obviously y'all are going to do what y'all will, but while your doing it pray that I like so many others in the field environmental sciences are 100% wrong and that your beliefs are 200% right because we are going to need it soon.
This thread was not started about Global Conditions or the decline thereof, it was started about people around me being distressed & anybody with friends or relatives in the area having a chance to learn about it, and act.
JC is admitting to something he has learned, and y'all are entitled to believe what ever you want. Perhaps the source he cites may not be the best choice to quote, but in a real Enviro PUN It's the Tip an Iceberg which is melting at an accelerated rate.
It tells a complex tale in simplified terms that hopefully people will be able to understand. I guess not here tho', if y'all reject it based on who's in it more than it's own merit.
This's certainly disappointing to me, as it was to the great Chief Seattle long long ago in the 19th century. . Or was he a tree hugger too?

I thought I'd let y'all know. . . . 
But at least I had a reason, or
