I remember in 1982 in the Florida Keys. It got so cold they were warning about the Coral Reefs dying when the ocean temperature dropped below 60 degrees.
Those Coral Reefs were supposed to be millions of years old, and in my short lifetime (then 32) the experts were worried about exactly the opposite scenario as they are today.
I live very near coastal communities where the incidence of flooding has increased dramatically in my lifetime. Flooding has become a way of life in these communities, and I have seen some coastal beaches and peninsulas actually disappear in the last 4 decades.
The information seems conflicting to me when you consider the grave warnings have completely reversed in a matter of less than 30 years.
When Tambora exploded in the south Pacific in the time of the War of 1812, Savannah Georgia saw freezing temperatures in July!
The mini Ice AGE ended in the later part of the 1800S, after over 400 years.
Where you begin the collection of statistical data can make a huge difference in your conclusions.
If you want to call me dumb for what I have posted, you only make me convinced you have an agenda, while I do not.
It just makes me wonder with the apparent 180% reversal of the disaster predictions if we are really using unbiased empirical data to justify a hypothesis, or are we screaming the sky is falling because we are getting paid to do so.
I do believe that we should be as preemptive as mother nature will allow us to be to mitigate what could be a disaster scenario. It just aggravates me that some people try to capitalize on panic while doing nothing in their personal lives to be any real contribution.
