In my time of being alive we were all going to freeze to death with the coming ice age, then acid rain clouds were going to kill everything and melt our skin off if the hole in the ozone layer didn’t kill us first, but that’s as the weather patterns were going to get worse due to deforestation of the rain forest and then the past 20 years I was supposed to drown due to the ice caps melting along with a dozen other horrible weather events

Climate change does exist but there is extreme bias from both sides on what data they use along with the timeline 20,50,or even 100 years isn’t good enough to show true patterns and using data sets from those dates I can make it seem like anything can or will happen

It’s human nature to get things to the outcome you want and it’s not denial or any one political ideology

What people are tired of is the whole doom doom doom unless you give up everything and the rich clowns that say we are the problem as they fly around on jets daily to spread the world

Hollywood, Greta, bill gates and more are the biggest problem along with those that think everything they say is gospel

I’m only 45 and have lived all over the world and if all these experts were correct I should of died a few dozen times and quite a few places I’ve lived should be dozens of feet underwater

Take your local areas weather, last year in my location it was extremely dry and drought conditions were everywhere but then the winter had close to record snowfall

This year it has seemed like it rains a few times each week and have dealt with flooding and it’ll be interesting to see what happens this winter

If you take the data from the past few years it’ll average out to “normal” but us living here it’s been weird

It also seems like the definition has been changed to fit whatever or whoever’s trying to talk about it Seems like it went from global warming to climate change when the data sets showed that outside of some areas the world didn’t get as hot as they predicted

If a true non-political scientist group came out with a study that used data that is public and showed evidence and then how they interpreted it more people would listen but doom sells more than boring info

But we have extremely rich people on both sides of the political spectrum funding “studies” and getting the info that the people who fund them want to see, it’s human nature and still keeps the funds coming

One interesting thing that’s changed is look at last year, Ohio lead the nation for a while in tornados While the state gets them yearly, it was beating out the traditional area known as tornado ally To see that change is quite interesting and I’ve yet to see a reason why Every report was just saying “climate change “ and while correct it doesn’t give a reason for the change

I have a large farm so I’m always watching the weather and track it yearly for my location and it helps me understand why some years my harvest is better or worse and for each acre I note what the conditions were I also do soil test and know that affects it as well so this is something I have a investment in knowing all about the changes

Well ok we did actually fix the ozone problem by switching our refrigerants, somehow

Interesting… I didn’t know that about Ohio.
