When it snowed in Houston last week, we had enough to build a snowman...but we're all such wimps when it comes to the cold to go out in it long enough to do anything.
When it snowed in Houston last week, we had enough to build a snowman...but we're all such wimps when it comes to the cold to go out in it long enough to do anything. I just sat and watched through my window. Snow is an amazing thing for a southern boy like me.
I'm sorry, it was my understanding that Texans are NOT Southerners. We leave that to the people of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisianna, Mississippi, Carolinas, and such.
Texans are Texans. Don't ever make that mistake again.
The electricity on my block went out. I was too worried about staying warm to even consider playing in the little that accumulated.When it snowed in Houston last week, we had enough to build a snowman...but we're all such wimps when it comes to the cold to go out in it long enough to do anything.

Has anyone started blaming global warming yet?
There is clear evidence that the global temperature is rising. The causes for this are not so clear. We know there are periodic fluctuations in the global temperature due to natural causes such as the energy output from the sun. However there has been a measurable increase in greenhouse gases such as CO2 and Methane which must have some effect on this problem. The observed warming is also causing methane at present stored under the arctic ice to be released. It stands to reason that this will increase global warming rather than reduce it.How did that happen anyway? One minute it was the 1970's and the big scare was that we were heading for the next ice age, now it's global warming! They forget, the Romans used to grow wine grapes in England, the climate changed long before the industrial revolution, and long before Jerremy Clarkson and 4x4s.
The global population is also increasing very rapidly which also puts a strain on our planet. Something needs to be done to stop the timebomb that we have created for ourselves. The problem is unlikely to resolve itself in a satisfactory manner if we just ignore it.

Nothing wrong with interfering with nature. The Dutch have done it successfully by building their dykes to keep the sea outBut what if it's not man made? All these debates about how we were interfering with nature, it stands to reason that if it's not man made then by changing the course of what nature wants to do we are, interfering...
I actually believe it is a bit of both natural causes and human action. I also think that overpopulation is the main problem.I have no real thought on whether it is us or a natural phenomenon that's causing the climate change. I just wish scientists would make up their minds. I do, however, believe that there are way too many people on the planet and that it can't be good that we are muscling out even the smallest of creatures to make way for our comforts. We don't know enough about how the planet works and it could be that we are effectively a cancer on the face of Earth. We have the technology to prevent over-population, birth control has been around for decades, perhaps it's time it became an international law?

They used to send the elderly, sickly and other burdens on the community out for a walk on the ice flows to become a frozen snack for the polar bears. Part of the over population problem is the increase in life expectancy for humans. Perhaps it is time to cull the herd and go for survival of the fittest.
Actually the termperature of the globe hasn't risen at all over the last ten yearsThere is clear evidence that the global temperature is rising.
So you say but the artic ice is definitely melting more and more each year. And glaciers are shrinking all over the worldActually the termperature of the globe hasn't risen at all over the last ten years
