Soooooo, where is the Warming?

Up here in ND, we just got 47 inches of snow over about 5 days. It royally sucks. Last Tuesday night - Thursday we got 36 inches and just woke up on Easter morning to 9 more inches.

It takes a lot of snow to shut this state down, but people are still digging out of this one. The local hospital was asking for volunteers with 4-wheelers and side by sides to help get staff to the hospital. We had 40-50mph winds and snow drifts 15-20 feet high.
At least I won't be cutting the grass until June.

ND has some of the most extreme weather. -40 to -50 in the winter and 100+ in the summer.

This is the sheep mentality as you become brainwashed by CNN or Fox News to believe everything the democrats or republicans are doing. Spreading disinformation about policies to the point that fake news is everywhere. You gotta do better though and not pick one day in a couple of places that are below average in temperature as a justification that climate change isn’t real. Unless you are a Republican sheep.

A middle of the road approach means you stand for nothing. Not baffling at all. Try that Milquetoast “middle of the Road” approach with somebody cramming garbage down your throat. I grew up in the 1960’s where aggressively pushing back against created BS narratives was what you did, and still should do.
By the way. Think for yourself. I don’t listen to the BS on CNN OR Fox. I READ. A LOT.
Just as Xavier taught me to do to research.

There is NOTHING wrong with being in the middle. It does NOT mean you stand for nothing. Don’t put that on people. You have no idea what they stand for.

There is usually something wrong with being at either extreme. Being in the middle does NOT mean you are ignorant or uniformed. It probably means you weren’t fooled by the extremists.

The old saying is: "You walk down the middle of the road? YOU GET RUN OVER!"

Stand up and take a committed, principled, educated side. Don't be a flippity flop milquetoast.

You bet I'm serious.

By the way, don't be distracted by the shiny object. The US is being shysterd on this "Man-Made" Climate Change trash. That is the point.

Maybe some people need to walk down the reasonable middle….and punch the people on either side in the face. I’m anti-violence, but I’m sick of the extremists controlling the conversation.

Okay, what exactly is the reasonable middle? Tell us what YOU think, and what YOU would do. Or is it really just the case that anyone that doesn't agree with you is an extremist?

Ask me a reasonable, and answerable, question. Reasonable about what, exactly?

I really don’t understand either argument and why people take stances to justify them. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. The facts are that humans release a large amount of CO2, methane, etc through the burning of fossil fuels, landfills, deforestation etc. Can’t expect the Earth to absorb the amount of gases human release and natural gases released from the Earth. So, instead of acting this way about the Global Warming, why don’t you come up with solutions to the problem. If you don’t believe it, what are your solutions when fossil fuels run out? That will happen eventually. We as a society should be doing better.

The “middle of the road” approach is not accepting the leftist narrative, which you clearly have done. You have stated a theory as fact and demanded government action. If there’s one thing We should have learned from COVID it’s that Government action to address a perceived problem, before understanding the problem, and more importantly, before taking time to assess the indirect effects and collateral damage of such actions, is a terribly dangerous thing.
