OK....we have had lots of weather talks. Is climate change real....and can we make a difference? I do support the wise use of our resources and eliminating waste and pollution, and other conservative ways. ( I do think SD should get Prius to help save the world tho. )

To infer it's our fault, also infers we can alter the weather somehow.
Who decided the climate wasn't supposed to change? Thank god it did, or we'd be ice fishing year round.

I believe it's changing. It's always been changing. Way back in the day we had dinosaurs too. Not so long ago, we had camels and short faced bears, and a bunch of different charismatic mega-fauna. Then, we had Bison, and Brown Bear were a plains creature. We had ice ages, large and small, and warming which we're in the middle of right now. We killed the Bison and drove the big bears into the mountains. We put Brown and Rainbow Trout places they didn't belong, and Salmon in the Great Lakes. The point is, things are always changing, with us or without us. Do we impact it? Yes, I believe so.
I think the cat's out of the bag and there's not a lot we can do about any of it but adapt. It's a giant complicated issue that's more Sociology than Physics or Chemistry. Good luck getting the world to change. I think the rest of the world sees it as an opportunity to keep bleeding the USA dry.

The world also used to look like this. I believe that is probable Kooch.....but what was on the other side of the world at that time? I've also seen where the moon was a part of our Earth in time gone by. Could be another continent under the sea?......or just more water?

Pangea. It was all Ocean aside from Pangea. At least, that's what my science books taught me. Sooner or later, all that'll probably be proven wrong too. But, it's what we've got right now. Light reading, if your so inclined. This book has a lot of words, very tightly spaced. Took me a while to get through. But you smart guys might breeze through it in a weekend. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annals_of_the_Former_World

Fargo Moorhead did not have a mall, a strip club, a Buffalo Wild Wings or a 15 time national champion Bison football team,,,it was Lake Agassiz

I am trying to increase my carbon footprint by running bigger engines in everything I own. My weed whip is now a 283 with a mild cam build. Sometimes I leave the doors open in the winter. If its warming up Minnesota has not been affected.
