Is Climate Change Real?

??????????????? On March 22, 2024 US Representative Debbie Dingell posted on Twitter – ‘Climate change isn’t real?? Explain 70 degree, sunny weather and a snowstorm within a week.’

??????????????? I took a look at a chart for weather in Michigan and on March 13th I see a 66 but I don’t see any 70.? Maybe these are averages.? As you know temperature data is questionable to say the least.? Yesterday I know it was 38 because I was out and walking around.

??????????????? As for explaining 70 degrees and a snowstorm within a week I’ll start with an old Michigan saying, ‘Well, this is Michigan, if you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute.’

??????????????? Next we’ll take a look at something called ‘Lake Effect’.? This has to do locally, with heavy snows appearing from Lake Michigan across the State of Michigan when cold air crosses the lake and dumps snow in a wide swath across the state.? It also does the opposite, however, but that’s not mentioned much here.? Lake Turnover is when the temperature of deeper water becomes higher than the surface waters.? Eventually all of that trapped energy rises up and the warm water streams to the surface rapidly.? This can cause mild weather and warmer temperatures.

??????????????? What I write next may seem farfetched but let’s take a look.

??????????????? Western States often seed clouds in order to increase rainfall.? It’s generally bad to do it but money talks.? When the cool rain and air comes down the warmer air is pushed out.? It is normally pushed east.?

If we also consider the ‘atmphospheric river’ that has been flooding California then perhaps we can consider that a result of climate change – however, we need to keep in mind that China, India and other countries have been seeding clouds as well.? China has increased their area of atmospheric experimentation to over 2.1 million square miles.? (That is an area larger than the country of India.)

If we also consider the residual atmospheric disruptions caused by the 507 atmospheric nuclear explosions (a total of 2,056 were set off) then we can a general idea of what may be going on.

As natural gas ovens and water heaters are outlawed and poisonous electric cars are being produced how can we as citizens deal with the fallout (no pun intended) of the irresponsible behavior of governments and major corporations?? Does it matter if we call it climate change or climate destruction?

As we are warned about more dangerous and powerful monsoons and hurricanes there has been no information or discussion about the fact that the African, South American, North American, Asian an European forests and jungles have been destroyed and are on the verge of being cleared altogether.?? Those forests and jungles tempered the storms and played a part in creating them and drawing off their energy.

Climate destruction is tied inextricably to environmental destruction.

Little discussed by obvious to anyone driving along a highway in the eastern United States the extensive and unbroken forests that stretched from the East Coast to the Mississippi River is now patchy and dominated by cities, towns, farms and sparse tree planting made to produce paper and light lumber.

Within the last 50 years the western and northwester Provinces in Canada have been clearcut for softwoods or burned in order plant the poor soil with millions of acres and hectares of wheat and other grains.? Canada offers land for sale for that continued colonization while also insisting that Brazil stop logging.

So – I’ve trailed off the original point a little bit which was to answer the question posed by US Representative Dingell - ?‘Climate change isn’t real?? Explain 70 degree, sunny weather and a snowstorm within a week.’

Most Michiganders, as already noted, might simply reply, ‘Well, this is Michigan, if you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute.’

Did I mention the disruption to the atmosphere by the 45,000 airplane flights across the United States each day or the additional 65,000 airplane flights around the rest of the world?

If we focus on that I think I can answer the question about the weather posed by the Congresswoman.? Most businesses don’t know how to use the computers they own and can’t be weaned off of business practices from the 1920’s to the 1950’s.

These practices have brought into being and continue to support wasteful industries that create instantaneous disruption and destruction of natural processes as well as leaving deposits of toxins like PCB’s, PFAS, PFOS, lead, mercury, arsenic, DDT, BPA, Phthalates, other plastics, perfloromethan (CF4), lithium, uranium, other radioactive materials, landfill gas, landfill leachate, Ammonia (CAS# 7664-41-7), Acetone cyanohydrin (CAS# 75-86-5), Allyl isothiocyanate (CAS# 57-06-7), Arsine (CAS# 7784-42-1), Acrolein (CAS# 107-02-8), Arsenic trichloride (CAS# 7784-34-1), Boron trichloride (CAS#10294-34-5), Acrylonitrile (CAS# 107-13-l), Bromine (CAS# 7726-95-6), Boron trifluoride (CAS#7637-07-2), Allyl alcohol (CAS# 107-18-6), Bromine chloride (CAS# 13863-41-7), Carbon disulfide (CAS# 75-15-0), Allylamine (CAS# 107-11-9), Bromine pentafluoride (CAS# 7789-30-2), Chlorine (CAS# 7782-50-5), Allyl chlorocarbonate (CAS# 2937-50-0), Bromine trifluoride (CAS# 7787-71-5), Diborane (CAS# 19287-45-7), Boron tribromide (CAS# 10294-33-4), Carbonyl fluoride (CAS# 353-50-4), Ethylene oxide (CAS# 75-21-8), Carbon monoxide (CAS# 630-08-0), Chlorine pentafluoride (CAS# 13637-63-3), Fluorine (CAS# 7782-41-4), Carbonyl sulfide (CAS# 463-58-1), Chlorine trifluoride (CAS# 7790-91-2), Formaldehyde (CAS# 50-00-0), Chloroacetone (CAS# 78-95-5), Chloroacetaldehyde (CAS# 107-20-0), Hydrogen bromide (CAS# 10035-10-6), Chloroacetonitrile (CAS# 7790-94-5), Chloroacetyl chloride (CAS# 79-04-9), Hydrogen chloride (CAS# 7647-01-0), Chlorosulfonic acid (CAS# 7790-94-5), Crotonaldehyde (CAS# 123-73-9), Hydrogen cyanide (CAS#74-90-8), Diketene (CAS# 674-82-8), Cyanogen chloride (CAS# 506-77-4), Hydrogen fluoride (CAS# 7664-39-3), 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine (CAS# 540-73-8), Dimethyl sulfate (CAS# 77-78-1), Hydrogen sulfide (CAS# 7783-0604), Ethylene dibromide (CAS# 106-93-4), Diphenylmethane-4.4'-diisocyanate (CAS# 101-68-8), Nitric acid, fuming (CAS# 7697-37-2), Hydrogen selenide (CAS# 7783-07-5), Ethyl chlroroformate (CAS# 541-41-3), Phosgene (CAS# 75-44-5), Methanesulfonyl chloride (CAS# 124-63-0), Ethyl chlorothioformate (CAS# 2941-64-2), Phosphorus trichloride (CAS# 7719-12-2), Methyl bromide (CAS# 74-83-9), Ethyl phosphonothioic dichloride (CAS# 993-43-1), Sulfur dioxide (CAS# 7446-09-5), Methyl chloroformate (CAS# 79-22-1), Ethyl phosphonic dichloride (CAS# 1066-50-8), Sulfuric acid (CAS# 7664-93-9), Methyl chlorosilane (CAS# 993-00-0), Ethyleneimine (CAS# 151-56-4), Tungsten hexafluoride (CAS# 7783-82-6), Methyl hydrazine (CAS# 60-34-4), Hexachlorocyclopentadiene (CAS# 77-47-4), Methyl isocyanate (CAS# 624-83-9), Hydrogen iodide (CAS# 10034-85-2), Methyl mercaptan (CAS# 74-93-1), Iron pentacarbonyl (CAS# 13463-40-6), Nitrogen dioxide (CAS# 10102-44-0), Isobutyl chloroformate (CAS# 543-27-1), Phosphine (CAS# 7803-51-2), Isopropyl chloroformate (CAS# 108-23-6), Phosphorus oxychloride (CAS# 10025-87-3), Isopropyl isocyanate (CAS# 1795-48-8), Phosphorus pentafluoride (CAS# 7647-19-0), n-Butyl chloroformate (CAS# 592-34-7), Selenium hexafluoride (CAS# 7783-79-1), n-Butyl isocyanate (CAS# 111-36-4), Silicon tetrafluoride (CAS# 7783-61-1), Nitric oxide (CAS# 10102-43-9), Stibine (CAS# 7803-52-3), n-Propyl chloroformate (CAS# 109-61-5), Sulfur trioxide (CAS# 7446-11-9), Parathion (CAS#: 56-38-2), Sulfuryl chloride (CAS# 7791-25-5), Perchloromethyl mercaptan (CAS# 594-42-3), Sulfuryl fluoride (CAS# 2699-79-8), sec-Butyl chloroformate (CAS# 17462-58-7), Tellurium hexafluoride (CAS# 7783-80-4), tert-Butyl isocyanate (CAS# 1609-86-5), n-Octyl mercaptan (CAS# 111-88-6), Tetraethyl lead (CAS# 78-00-2), Titanium tetrachloride (CAS# 7550-45-0), Tetraethyl pyroposphate (CAS# 107-49-3), Tricholoroacetyl chloride (CAS# 76-02-8), Tetramethyl lead (CAS# 75-74-1), Trifluoroacetyl chloride (CAS# 354-32-5), Toluene 2.4-diisocyanate (CAS# 584-84-9), Toluene 2.6-diisocyanate (CAS# 91-08-7) and other materials.

Of course the temperature fluctuations could be caused by Climate Change but that isn't really specific, is it?
