What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to?
That's one weather prediction for southern California in the next week. Gary Haupt

What I find odd is that here in the NW we broke a record high temp of 65deg. Yesterday it was 68. Today it was 67. Guess when the original 65 temp was set?!!! Over 100 years ago. That's right, before cars, factories and petroleum. So how did that temp make it so high back then?........that's right normal climate cycles. It comes and goes, it's nature and earth taking care of itself.
Sure some don't want to hear that because it's easier to blame someone than accept what is normal!
100 years ago wasn't before cars, petroleum and factories.
In fact the Industrial Revolution began in the mid-18th century and, at the start, the fossil fuel of choice, was coal.
Not sure when weather records started being kept in this country but I'd hazard a guess it was more like within Benjamin Franklin's lifetime possibly even before his birth. That being said were I a scientist I'd have more historical data to analyze whether the 65 degree temp was an anomaly or the norm. As well certain natural phenomena would have to be factored in such as volcanoes, meteors and typhoons.
In recent times, we've seen the effects on our weather with the Icelandic and Italian volcanoes as well as tsunamis.
when the industrial revolution started is not the point
i doubt that they were burning much coal in Wa 100 years ago
Britain yes, and the major effect was on peoples health breathing in all that London coal smoke, not the weather
Volcanoes affect the global weather by spewing ash into high atmosphere and blocking sunlight and heat
that record 65f in Wa was Nature pure and simple
the biggest problem is not Man affecting the weather,
but man affecting his personal surroundings
the water shed is gone, covered by buildings, and man doesn't want to get out of the way .
he wants to divert, block, dam up and change the course
just because some cycles take a 100 years, does not make it abnormal
what is abnormal to nature and this earth is MAN changing the surroundings
good or bad, it is the truth, man has very little or No effect on the weather, only on his surroundings, which are affected by the weather
