MY GLOBAL WARMING EXPERIENCE

I checked the outside temperature at 9:00 one morning last April and it was 27 degrees F – a little cool for April. But, by 3 p.m. the temperature had risen to 57 degrees F.  That’s a whopping 30 degree rise in just a few hours.

I had to ask myself, “How did the Earth survive such a warming event”? It was a tremendous rise in heat in a very short period of time.  So I looked back over the entire month, and found some very startling data.  In that thirty-day period the temperature had risen an incredible total of 599 degrees.  That is global warming at its worst.  Nearly 600 degrees in just one month!  We should have all been roasted and baked……………

So, let me put this in perspective.  A few scientists fear a 2 to 3 degree warming over the next century, and yet we’ve seen many times that in just one month!  And during that month the oceans didn’t rise and flood coastal cities.  People didn’t perish from lack of food or water.  Nobody got cooked as they walked or jogged or golfed.

This makes me feel much less fearful of “Climate Change”, because it seems to happen over and over again without any ill effects on the environment or humans.  It looks to me like the Earth is able to withstand wide variations in temperature in both the short term and the long term, and I’m very grateful for this!
