rjg854 11,389 #4 Posted January 16, 2021 I know I'm desperate for seat time. No snow in Central NY and it's the middle of January. Had one snow that was enough to plow, but that's been it 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trina wants it for snowshoeing but I could do without and be perfectly happy. @Lane Ranger good work Sir. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,623 #6 Posted January 16, 2021 Good to see that you could have some fun Lane. We received a little wet sloppy stuff over night. Not enough to get the blower out but I did get to have some fun pushing the slop off from the sidewalk with my C-145. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxwell-8 4,277 #13 Posted January 17, 2021 10 years ago we had regularly basis 6inches of snow, now, one time in the 3 years, one inch. Are we already experiencing climate changes? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She talked like the whole global warming movement got out of hand and began to "snowball" (pun intended)...so fast it was hard to stop the multi- billion dollar global warming industry.

Few are concerned with naturally occurring climate change. The one to worry about is the human-driven one we find ourselves in now where we are indeed accelerating into unknown territory. Anthropogenic sources of atmosphere influencing agents have been a byproduct of creating a civilized, industrial society. How we deal with these costs is subject to wide ranging philosophical interpretation. But the science is pretty clear that ongoing or pending climate change isn’t a natural occurrence.

Google "Expert apologizes for global warming lie" I’m glad you used quotation marks around “world expert” for the gadfly that penned that apology. As suggested, I did the google search and then spent the next several hours reading into this a little more deeply. It was quite interesting. Most of what I read presented a contrarian view to the author’s. there is certainly a multi-billion dollar industry involved with climate change, but there aren’t very many scientists getting rich from their efforts. steve 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny thing from 1990 -2006 I drove that very stretch daily to work in various 2wd trucks, tire chains in the tool box for when needed, my dad did it from 1967- mid 90s in a 2wd, before finally getting a 4x4. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
