It's colder now than it's been in years. Where are you hiding the heat? C'mon, where's the heat?
If you had read the OP and other posts I made on page 1, you'd know that with a thinning thermosphere from man's carbon activities here on the surface, we would experience colder Winters and hotter Summers in general. However, due to the water molecule's need for massive heat in order to melt (unlike other molecules) in Summers as the ice sheets were shrinking with winds blowing across them, you would EXPECT to feel cooler Summers until those sheets' sizes reached a tipping point where their melting could no longer cool the lower regions in Summer. Then, get ready to broil...
In those cooler Summers during this crucial "get busy and do SOMETHING!" phase..the greedy heat-needs of melting ice is literally robbing the heat from surrounding areas and so those areas experience the feeling on the skin of "a cooler Summer". But this won't last. So enjoy it while you can.
We're in a continuum in which there still might be time to turn this thing around. But we'd better act fast. And that's why I proposed in post #82 for Trump to initiate the new type of energy that China, Spain, Morocco & the ME are quickly scurrying to beat us at. Free fuel to run steam turbines is nothing to turn your nose up at.
I was really stunned to learn that leaving one 100w light bulb on or your computer, burns pounds of coal per day for just one of those devices!
Coal Power Plants - Jason Munster's Energy and Environment Blog If you have a 100W incandescent bulb, and you leave it on for a day, you just burnt 2 lbs. of coal. Good job. If turning off your lights to save on electricity is not enough to get you to shut em off, just picture that much coal burning to keep that light on. Your laptop computer uses about 2-3 pounds if it runs the entire day. Your TV, if left on, will burn more like 10 lbs. of coal a day.
By getting our energy from carbons instead of concentrated solar radiation creating steam, we are literally destroying our planet. This is like insisting that people still drive horse and buggy to work while the rest of the world drives brand new efficient cars. We are propping up an industry that knows it is finite, knows it will be necessarily dead one way or the other in 30 or 40 years, just so some really rich and really lazy people don't have to switch over their monopolies and assets to this simpler way of creating steam to run turbines. I suspect also some ME bloggers posing as Americans are furiously trying to keep us dependent and dumbly ignoring reality because what else does the ME have to offer the world besides oil? Goat meat? Camels? Lentils?
They DO have sunshine though. And the ME has even seen the writing on the wall with the oil problems. China can't even breathe, she's burning so many carbons locally. It's a huge mess that has a cure: a simple car headlamp reflector and a chunk of cardboard or dry wood aimed at the sun, even in Winter in northern climates, will spell out that answer quite simply and clearly.
