Dust storm in South Dakota

[Stann]

You must think man has some control over this... He doesn't..

No, man has very little control over things but this situation was created by man, it's called climate change.

 

[Crick]

Addressed how, exactly?

Were you napping when they made the announcements? By eliminating human GHG emissions.

 

[Stann]

Yep, imagine that, a weather front in the Spring. OMG.


Sure. The climate is changing all the time, been doing that since climate was invented billions of years ago.


You betcha. No one had ever even heard of the words climate change in 1972.


All the more reason not to worry about it and just be happy!

Climate change was first suggested by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. And during the 1970s climate change was called global warming. A name which didn't take you to count all the variations of the effects on the earth's weather patterns. This in the 1990s it was changed the more accurate climate change. The simple truth is more energy is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, warming the planet in general, and that added energy creates stronger storm systems. If you look at the pattern of tornadoes in the United States. You'll see that what was called tornado Alley has moved several hundred miles east. Areas that didn't used to get them are getting them hit with them now because of the more powerful storms. We actually need to be doing everything we can personally and on the national and world level in order to prevent the worst outcome. You don't want to go there. In the meantime we can be happy but dedicated to solving the problem at the same time.

You don't comprehend very well I said a dust storm in the springtime which is very unusual what made it so very bad was it occurred in what's called a derecho which had almost straight line tornado Force winds. Also very unusual for the Midwest.

So now we have a dust storm in the springtime in South Dakota. Of course there's no climate change. Right, keep believing that. When the Midwest turns into a dust bowl, as it did once before because of man's hand, this time it's not going away. The root cause isn't man's careless conservation measures, it's the change in precipitation patterns. No different than the changes taking place in sub-Saharan Africa which is going to cost millions of lives. The whole region is drying out. Climate change needed to be addressed 50 years ago. Now it's too late to prevent most of the disasters that are going to befall this world.

Syria became a dust bowl between 2005 and 2011 before the war broke out.

 

[Stann]

Addressed how, exactly?

We are now in a crisis as far as being dependent on oil for way too many things
The Saudis have cut production to make more money on the oil they have left. Even with their exaggerated accounting of their oil reserves, over the past 30 years they have pumped out 90 trillion barrels of oil out of oil fields. That leaves them with less than half of the oil remaining. That was scheduled to run out in 43 years, but increased demands around the world have already knocked that down to 38 years. There are a million different ways to help the planet recover and get back to a semblance of normalcy. The longer we wait the worst it's going to be.

This world doesn't need any more deserts.

 

[Stann]

You just noticing that now? It's called earth, the whole planet is just one big collection of dust.

You really have done yourself. Usually in the springtime are soils are moist and ready to till. The last thing we need is dry soils for when the seeds come up they wither and die.

 

[surada]

This world doesn't need any more deserts.

Dust storms in the spring are an ominous sign.

There's a map of all this activity and showing the likelihood of events in the future. Just go to any good climate change article and you'll find it.

They sure are, and that one was coupled with what's called a derecho. Something else new for our area. I've been wanting too burn some yard waste for over 9 months now. The days are constantly windy and very dry and the state is allowing us to burn.

Derecho?

 

[Stann]

It is a powerful Midwest storm with 100 mph winds.

This is WEATHER.

I wish it was just weather.

 

[Stann]

Derecho?

A storm with straight line winds almost as strong as tornadoes.

Correction; The state is not allowing us to burn.

RUBBISH.

Wow. New to me. Sounds punishing.

 

[Stann]

Wow. New to me. Sounds punishing.

Iowa had one last year, their first ever, it caused so much widespread damage a whole bunch of counties got declared disaster areas. This one in South Dakota wasn't as bad, bad for the farmers losing topsoil, as far as the damage goes to homes and buildings.

 

[Stann]

RUBBISH.

Why are you calling yourself rubbish. We all know you are but you shouldn't advertise it. There is still help for you.

It's alarming. I hope the farmers in Nebraska aren't as ignorant as the posters here.
