Love it when it snows


Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

I am baffled... Do you read other thing than newpapers?

In biology, what is relatively negative for a living organism and relatively positive for another one are in reality a feedback very complex mechanism called ecosystem and metabolism... The 2 are in fact the same because for nature inside and outside had no absolute separation...Plant and humans are inseparably linked ...

Then even arsenic for example or other chemicals are good for health sometimes or in an infinitesimal dose...This fact is a microbiological medicine fact called balance homeostasis in living systems...The keyword to understand is not bad or good Co2 , it is the concept of balance...

Caricatural pose separating facts in separate drawers for the knocking down of someone is a clown act in a circus not science lessons...

By the way i am an ignorant, but I pretend to be able to think under no flag....
millercarbon, I totally agree with you but you could put it in a nicer way.
There are many very intelligent people who are totally ignorant on the subject of climate science. The problem is that most of them have no idea how ignorant they are. I can say this as I was a Biology major at the University of Vermont and specialized in Ecology. 
mahgister, all you have to do is look closely at the past starting about 4.5 million years ago. Look at weather conditions and atmospheric composition through time as earth evolved and decide for yourself. You have to read the transcript:)

Thanks for your balance reply and polite one...

I am not a biologist at all, then ignorant for all these matters...But looking at various climatic geological scales will only reveal the regular periodical instabilities, or homeostasis of earth and the cosmic exterior influences...

The fact that human activities accelerate or contribute to reverse some trends is the crux of the matter...I dont think it is possible to humans now only by themselves to revert earth cycles, but to act in unity without increasing the worst to comes is the goal, not going on with past used economic concepts that applied no more to what will comes ...

Lesson from the past in human life or in earth life is only this one: Nothing is perfectly stable... But we can and must consciously adjust ourselves, especially now it is possible for the first times in human history...

Negation of changes, pursuit of the same economic habits had no more sense...

An ignorant chap who read that could be led to believe that the actual end of the world was at stake. What Hanson was saying was the tipping point of being able to keep rising temps within a 1ºC rise over a certain time frame was at stake.

One must be wary about how info is presented.
