Re: Why Climate Change Won't Matter in 20 Years

wait what?
exodus?
wasn't that 6000 years ago or somesuch?
i know we are talking about climate so a few thousand years is an appropriate scale, but.. really?
and about Syria: there are 4 regional powers and 2 international super powers at play, no need to blame climate here.

I like darkish craft beers. Costco used to import a nice selection from a California brewery before the CDN dollar tanked.
Maybe we can meet half way someplace in London to explore the English pub scene. I will be in Southern California briefly in April to set off on a Mexican cruise, not sure if Mike will still be on the West coast at that time. How do we get you guys over to the Mediterranean where the beer is cheap and tasty?

I hope to run into Mike sometime next Fall if he's in the Boston area, a few others might still be in Boston around that time awaiting the end of hurricane season. We also plan on attending the Annapolis Sail only show in October for three days. Any chance you guys will be there?

That might be the best spot.

Ken

This was clearly caused by climate change:

If groundhogs find their way into a vegetable garden, then I'd say their demise is usually caused by a .22 bullet.

Like I said man caused. And not bad in a stew either.

Ken, I'm not sure what you mean by saying everything I've written is "dead wrong"? The drought is real, or is that yet another "liberal" conspiracy? The land is parched. The open canals are real. Some are dry. Many (most? all?) are open aqueducts. Must lose massive amounts of water to evaporation. Lake Mead has never been as low as it is now.

I'm travelling pretty slowly, so yes, I stop and talk with lots of folks. None of them echo your words. Perhaps I'm only talking to liberals , but the people I speak with are concerned. Water is politics for sure, and I'm sure you're right about the politicians screwing things up (I think those damn conservatives have messed things up pretty bad too ).

Ah, beer talk. Much more interesting, and important, than all this climate change stuff . Unfortunately my plans have me heading to Newfoundland for the summer and early fall. At this point I don't think I'll be heading south for a couple more years. If we make it to Lewisporte I bet we'll stay a few years to explore the Rock, and Labrador a bit. Heck, maybe we'll go over to Greenland to see the glaciers before they melt away .

... but you never know. We might decide to head south right away. That's what I love about this life -- no firm plans.

Raise a pint (or two, or three) for me if you do meet up. I'll get there eventually.

You are wrong about the water situation in California is what I mean. Many of those concrete lined river beds that look like canals in Cali have always been dry. They are actually river washes and are concrete lined in order to prevent the built up banks from washing out during torrential rain storms in the mountains. The only difference over the past 20 years, is that now people who subscribe to the Global warming-climate change goose step, will now point to them any say exactly what you are saying. I was alive 50 years ago when the "canals" as you call them were built, They were built and designed to prevent flooding during flash floods.

Mike.... Those canals have always been dry except during rain storms... going all the way back to when they were originally built. The problem is the population in Southern California has exceeded the capacity of the water supply network.

Southern California would be and is an arid desert like area without water being diverted to the region. It always has been an arid area, desert sage I think is what it's called. But due to politics, water is now being diverted to southern California lawns or allowed to flow free into the ocean, rather than being used to grow crops. More use of water, improper use of water is what's caused the artificial drought.... NOT climate change.

Mike,

Do you plan on keeping your boat in Newfoundland for a couple of years?

What we have here is yet another failure to comprehend (or possibly selective myopia).
