Dec2 - Merry December_DSC00317.JPG
In spite of Global Warming, it has been a frosty autumn here and it is
a bit unusual for us to have snowfall this early. I have to admit though, it wasn't much. It was about 22-F today, and I didn't want to take my good kit out in those temperatures, so this shot is from my little Sony pocket camera. This is a large holly tree on our property, planted long before we got here. It is now at least 30-ft. high.

Don't worry about using your stuff out in the cold.... just be careful to
protect it from condensation when you bring it back indoors. John - Pa. wrote in message ...

The bodies and lenses go into the zippies before I go in the house. Any condensation forms on the outside of the plastic bags. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Global warming means it's going to get colder. ;-) Ironic no? No, it doesn't and it isn't. It means that on average, temperatures are increasing. One of the side effects of that is more variability in weather, not less. If you want some insight into what rapid global warming is doing, investigate what's happened to the Arctic sea ice in the last few years, and why. The climate models used up to now have underestimated the rate of sea-ice loss. It will likely disappear entirely by about 2025, give or take a few years. Past models predicted that event for some time around 2100 or even later. It may also help you to read up on chaotic systems. Relatively simple concepts, which translate into not very simple math. ;-) NB that the this whole area of mathematics was discovered because of attempts to model the weather. One practical result is that we now know why we can't forecast the weather well for more than two or three days at a time. One theoretical result is that climate change can occur very very rapidly, ie, the climate can flip from one state to another in few decades. But the timing of such a change cannot be forecast. Nor can it be recognised until it's well under way, which in practical terms means that it's too late to do anything about it, and may be too late to adapt to as well. Not a very happy prospect. In addition, local natural climate cycles will be be exaggerated. Eg, in the "Palliser Triangle" of the southern Canadian and Northern USA prairies. This part of the prairies has been cycling between desert and relatively moist conditions for the past few thousand years at a roughly 2/3rds to 1/3rd ratio. It was settled during one its wet periods. That period is now coming to an end, and rapid global warming is certainly going to make it a much drier desert than it was in the past. Especially since the Rocky Mountain glaciers seem to be disappearing faster than previously forecast, too. :-( It was about 22-F today, and I didn't want to take my good kit out in those temperatures, so this shot is from my little Sony pocket camera. This is a large holly tree on our property, planted long before we got here. It is now at least 30-ft. high. That is VERY pretty! It'd make a nice Christmas card. True. I'm going to use it as desktop wallpaper for the next few weeks. ;-) Can't grow holly here - yet. Too cold in winter. |
