FREEZE WARNINGS!!!!!! - Page 5

Red, Back in my early days during the first ice age the CO2 levels were way too low and it was hard to grow anything to eat. Very few of us survived. Any idea how hard it is to dig a volcano?

We need the increased CO2 to enable growing enough to feed the increased population. If it doesn't increase we'll be forced to offer human sacrifices again and burn the corpses to appease the gods.

We found this didn't work either as man can't make radical changes on the earth. It took massive volcanoes to actually affect weather as evidenced in the last little ice age. Now adding electric cars to the mix has helped create a lot more C02 than normal but less than needed. Not allowing goats and sheep eat the brush in forests has helped too by helping create larger forest fires. Any idea how many cars it takes to equal the good of one forest fire that burns off all the humus? Cities are doing their part by paving everything over so the natural release of C02 is harder.

Now most of my response sounds paradoxical because it is and makes at least as much sense as your answer.

So how about getting back to the original topic.

Climate change, polar vortexes, impacts on peoples in many different regions of this world of ours are more suitable, I would think, in the 2 cents offtopic Forum, and if you look there I know if you look back in that Forum you'll see that there already are lots of threads dealing with most of these off topic issues that have been posted here.

Thanks in advance for getting back to the original topic.

I just thought I would put this up again just encase folks didn't see it the first time.
Carolyn is a Global Moderator and what she says goes.
Please have respect for her.

I am just as guilty as the rest for going off topic.

OK but the freeze danger is over for now and its so much fun to see people boil over.

Question. Are we going to see a cold summer like last yr? My crops looked good until the cold snap we had in July last.

Transgression Worth, not guilt, which is much harder to deal with.

But many of us are old and forget why we came into the room.

So true.

So who out there is going to freeze their whiskers off still this year.

Are we all in the clear?
