Looking into it is less "decided" than I thought, but I remember being taught 10-15 years ago that global warming would cause worse winters further south because the Artic warming would cause pockets of cold from the Artic to shift south while the artic warmed. Guess it is still being investigated from what I read. Maybe this lends more credence to that theory?

Yes, I believe it does.

If the theory is that it is going to get hotter but also get colder, well, that kind of sounds like how I used to answer essay questions back in high school.

70’s-80’s—entering a deep freeze because of man 

90’s-00’s—entering a global heating period because of man

2010’s—now——-screw it, let’s just say the climate is naturally changing and blame whatever happens on man.

From what I can tell, the only thing that has hurt the environment was all the Aqua Net Hairspray used by 80's rock bands and my sister.  

 

As long as Poison, Motley Crue and Britny Fox don't decide to do a worldwide reunion tour I think we will all be okay.

Welp, since the world is ending in 12 years, might as well live it up, use as much energy as possible and go out with a bang.

And the sale of guns and ammo is skyrocketing every time these idiots tell everyone that this s#!t is going to happen and it will be a free for all.

  • Sand is the world’s most consumed raw material after water and an essential ingredient to our everyday lives.
  • Yet, the world is facing a shortage — and climate scientists say it constitutes one of the greatest sustainability challenges of the 21st century.
  • “Is it time for panicking? Well, that will certainly not help, but it is time to take a look and change our perception about sand,” said Pascal Peduzzi, a climate scientist with the United Nations Environment Programme.
