Is anyone getting worried yet about the weather yet???

Question

..it seems every year things are more extreme..with flooding ,,heat...tornadoes ..hurricanes ..snowfall..is it just because the media is literally bombarding us with so much from every corner of the planet that it all seems soo much???..or are we in the midst of a cyclical climatic change event??

Answer 1

Cyclical climate change is normal, with periods of increased activity followed by decreased activity.  Our abilities to detect and report extreme events has improved over the years, which explains at least some of the so called increase in storms.  They also get reported more often and more widespread.  In actuality, what has happened recently has happened before, but the impacts today are greater simply because there are more people with more things to get hit.

Answer 5

No..A real wise man asked "Do you think that Worry will add a single day to your life?'..Meanwhile, The weather has been in flux since the 'Big Bang'..the CO2 Idiots do not have a Clue..mainly because CO2 is a TRACE gas in our atmosphere..Plants LOVE CO2 and plants produce O2..more CO2..more Plants more O2..and O2 keeps us alive..the Pseudo-Science of 'human induced' Global Warming is simply the Media/Political Power attempting to keep the Masses AFRAID...Let It Go..and be Free..Peace.

Answer 6

I was told to "worry" is a waste of time (I'm a big time worrier about a lot of things)  So now I call them "concerns" sound better?

Since we can't change the weather, we can only try to be prepared to deal with it.  In the long term we can only try to be more aware of what we're doing to the planet and try to be a little kinder and hope for the best.  But climatic changes will happen with or without our help and I've got other things that I need to be more (worried) concerned about.

Answer 7

ironicly i am doing the same. I am yes.. in a sence worried about the weather changes. The earth seems to be going through some wild weather paterns. i mean to hear that an earth quake *not dealing with weather* has struck the middle of the country hitting places like KY... its kind of odd ballish. I dont know what the weather is going to do but i am still keeping an eye on things... even though it is like you are saying getting more extream!

Answer 8

Wx events are always happening around the globe every day.   Airmasses migrate and modify as they move across the planet.   It is really just a matter of timing with regards to cooling and heating trends from year to year.  So many variables are involved in weather but a warming or cooling period does not signal long term trends necessarily.
