We got a lot of snow coming...

[Scuba_Dave]

Ya mean like this ??

[frenchie]

Uh, Dave...

[Scuba_Dave]

Yes.........................

[Scuba_Dave]

Snow has started !!
Ian must have collapsed from shoveling snow

[Scuba_Dave]

We have ~12" or more on theground...another 3-6" still expected to come down
I think Ian was rushed to the ER

It looks like everyone on the east coast is going to get pounded hard
here in INDY we look to get maybe two inches....

CASS...
Now that you have brought up global warming, it makes me wonder with so much more water in the atmosphere from glaciers melting off ....

I wonder if a 10 - 15 foot snowfall over a large metro area would be out of the question some day...

we never thought that the glaciers and Antarctica would melt off so quickly
so who knows what is possible???

of course those scientists would say its all bunk...

not enough proof.....

so if it snowed 15 foot in your area would you see
that as a sign of trouble???.

I am not saying global warming is not happening...I want to know with Scientific Certainty what the cause is...

Personally I don't believe is is from all the carbon dioxide...There are so many other things more likely to cause it...just one example is normal climate change...like the fossil record shows...something we have no control over...

what exactly are you saying then??


basically you, or humanity does not want to take any of the blame
because if you did
you might have to radically change your life style.......
and everyone refuses to budge one bit .......

if their were only about 5 hundred million people on this planet
and we did not breed like mice, then every thing could probably
keep going on the same forever...

blame whatever you want to blame.....

but we are all in the same boat...
if you are in first class or are just one of the slaves shoveling coal....

eventually nature , or the Earth will correct this imbalance.....



nice blizzard pictures of 1978....... but thats only about 3 feet

if we were ever to get three times that much.......that would be something to live through..

There is a natural process to everything and nothing lasts forever for everything has an eventual death. Can we add to the speed of its eventual death?

Sure we can.

This application can be applied to anything. Humans can speed up their own death by doing harmful things to their bodies such as smoking, etc.

We can speed up the eventual & natural death of our planet by exhausting the resources or polluting it, etc. It is simply cause and effect.
One thing to look at is to compare in a sense is when another planet or a star just seemingly, dies. This is one of the reasons we look for planets similar to ours.

Common sense would dictate before their death there must had been changes. What caused their changes which eventually, led to their death?

That is the falacy...when there were 5 million people here on earth the climate was totally different than it is now and the changes that took place between then and now had nothing to do with the increase in the population...

The Earth never remains the same...ever...it is constantly changing...

From the moment of any birth death has already started. Just a fact.

[master plumber mark]

Trust me.....Mother Earth will heal herself....

of that I am sure of....

what bothers me or concerns me is the actual "healing process"....

we are actually seeing it begin on both the top and
bottom of the planet right now.......very rapidly in fact......

like I already stated in Iceland, they can hear the crashing
of the ice as it is being melted and is pulling out to sea..
and they are very concerned as to what it all means..

you might say that the energy centers of the planet are
being awakened... but to what final outcome??.

you can all speculate
as to what it means for the people living on it...


and you can talk and debate as to what should be done...

[Cass]

Mother will not come to our rescue...

[Scuba_Dave]

Trust me.....Mother Earth will heal herself....

of that I am sure of....

I agree....after she gets rid of us she will heal everything

[Cass]

This planet like all others had a beginning and it has an end and all the Kings men can't stop it from it's appointed end...or from every thing in between...

[frenchie]

Trust me.....Mother Earth will heal herself....

of that I am sure of....

You dreamy-eyed optimist, you...

The Universe doesn't care about 'mother earth" (by which I assume you mean the biosphere), any more than the "mother earth" cares about an individual species.

It could easily end up as a pile of lifeless rocks. There's nothing preventing it - in fact, over the long run, it's inevitable.
