The Squirrel Creek Fire spread rapidly last night, and topped the crest of Sheep Mountain as we watched last night. This is a telephoto shot from our west patio. The line of light below the fire is Harmony Wyoming. Sheep mountain is 22 air miles away from us...

...and lets just say (just for the sake of argument only) that Dr Masters is correct that its man made reasons - what exactly does he expect people/ countries to do about it?---Have the United States cease all of their industry?....as if you can force any of the other countries in the world to cease theirs??? Hate to break it to ya, but if the U.S. stopped ALL of their industry and yet the rest of the world (or most) kept theirs going (which is what would happen) , thats not making a dent into stopping any man made global warming. Ain't happening. So, we'll just fall behind further yet again??? Some people even theorize that even if the whole world ceased industry it wouldn't make a difference. Who knows what to believe...?? (with so many agendas around)
Look, I am all for finding more environmentally friendly ways of industry and trying to leave less of a "carbon footprint" and all that, but I just disagree with many of the global warming agendas going around. Is the earth warming? Yes. I however, believe its mostly a natural cycle than anything.
Hopefully, Dr Masters doesn't ban me for sharing a dissenting opinion.
And Im Proud To Be An American
Where At Least I Know Im Free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
,,please Handle us with care.
We family.
Been beat up and battered 'round
Been sent up, and I've been shot down
You're the best thing that we've ever found
Handle Us with care
Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you're adorable
Handle Us with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show Us that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to our's, and dream on
I've been fobbed off, and we've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
In day care centers and night schools
Handle Us with care
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Handle Us with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show Us that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to our's, and dream on
I've been uptight and made a mess
But I'll clean it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle Us with care
It's gonna be a hot one, so make sure you keep yourself hydrated and check on the elderly and the kids.
YEA PAT! Thats right
Dem boys shore could play some
looked mo better yesterday fo shore
Before mankind walked on the surface of the Earth trees grew and fell. Some died and rotted, some were blown over by storms. All of those trees fell for a reason.
Then one day man cut down a tree.
Man was not responsible for all the trees that fell and continue to fall for non-man reasons, but he sure is responsible for massive clear-cutting of the forests.
If you think the present global heating is due to some force other than man, then please state what is causing the warming.
Scientists have not been able to find a reason aside from human activity.
How about his interest in weather?
Are you aware that our weather is getting more and more "weird"?
Do you understand that increased heat in the system drives the weather to become more weird?
Do you understand that if the heat in the system continues to increase the weather will get extremely weird?
Can you understand that those who have studied the climate and weather are trying to tell others that we are getting ourselves into a very dangerous position?
Ever hear of patterns? What caused the ice ages? then the melting? Man? This whole man is the sole reason is crap. We maybe adding to things... but no way are we the sole reason.
Fresca?
Appears to be a circulation on off the N coast of Costa Rica.
Before mankind walked the earth, the earth still had vast cycles of heating & cooling....some of the warming cycles MUCH warmer than what we have seen today. Much warmer!
I am not in favor of cutting down any rain forests or trees in general, without replacing them.
I just don't get why some of the global warming people are unable to understand that if the earth cooled/ warmed in the past, on its own, then why that concept is so hard to understand today. There was a time in the past where the earth had no ice at the north pole - no, none of us were around to witness it, but it happened. & guess what, we're still here today!....and, ice returned to the poles! Cyclical.
As stated, my opinion is just that, my opinion. I am just using millions of years of history/ trends to back my opinion up, thats it.

Global Climate Change Indicators
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
National Climatic Data Center
Many lines of scientific evidence show the Earth's climate is changing. This page presents the latest information from several independent measures of observed climate change that illustrate an overwhelmingly compelling story of a planet that is undergoing global warming.
It is worth noting that increasing global temperature is only one element of observed global climate change. Precipitation patterns are also changing; storms and other extremes are changing as well.
And I am sure similar weather patterns/ systems were altered over the millions of years of cyclical climate change that preceded our existence on this earth. Is that so hard to consider? Just as I don't believe that humans are the main cause to the warming thats going on now - I think people are crazy to think that WE as humans can do much to alter any natural processes of global warming. Any attempt would be futile at best.
you are 100 percent correct
the problem with it is
in the past it would take tens of thousands of years for changes to occur
now in our time changes occur in 10's of years
Did The Weather Channel Fire Nicole Mitchell Because Of Military Duty?
Wednesday, June 13, 2012
By Beth Ford Roth
Capt. Nicole Mitchell
Above: Capt. Nicole Mitchell
Former "The Weather Channel" meteorologist Nicole Mitchell is suing her one-time employer. Capt. Mitchell alleges the network did not renew her contract because of her service in the Air Force Reserve.
Capt. Mitchell has been with the Air Force Reserve for almost 20 years, and now serves with the 403rd Wing Hurricane Hunters at Keesler Air Force Base.
Michell wrote on her Facebook page that although Georgia (where TWC is located) is an at-will employment state, in her case there is an exception:
"[Y]ou cannot make the decision to terminate or non-renew based on an illegal motivation. For example, if you were renewing other contracts, but decided not to renew one person because you did not like their race, religion, gender, etc....those are protected "classes", thus you cannot terminate or non-renew if that is why you are making the decision.
"Military service is protected in the same way. You can let someone go, but not if the inconvenience of their military schedule is the reason you are doing it."
Mitchell filed the lawsuit against The Weather Channel and its owners: NBC/Universal, Bain Capital, and the Blackstone Group, according to the Sun Herald.
The Weather Channel released a statement in response to Mitchell's lawsuit:
The Weather Channel is committed to creating a work atmosphere free of discrimination and in compliance with The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 ("USERRA"), and its owners support that commitment. This is a commitment that we have always taken very seriously. We cannot comment on pending litigation, but as with many situations, there is more than one version of what occurred. We disagree with many of the assertions in the plaintiff's press statements and intend to vigorously defend the matter in the arbitration process.
In a final twist of irony, The Weather Channel premiered a new documentary TV series called "Hurricane Hunters" this week.

my premise has never disputed that the climate is warming/ or that weather patterns are changing. I just dispute on the reasons why this is occuring/ and also disagree that we can do anything to alter the natural/ cyclical change that is occuring. When the earth went through warming cycles over the entire history of the planet, I am sure weather patterns changed pretty similarly too.

Honey Barbecue Sauce, or Ol Hickory Mesquite?
Thanx
Did you try the fish?
And so is Jolly Ole England, just the opposite spectrum
The reason for the on-going poor weather has been the unusual positioning of the jet stream, which continues to be too far south than normal.
This point is graphically illustrated by the fact that June has been in the top 3 most cyclonic (low pressure) Junes in 140 years of records.
And there's still a chance that when official Met Office statistics are published later today or tomorrow, that averaged across the UK as a whole, June 2012 has been the wettest on record.
It's also been cold - with June the coolest since 1991 - and one of the dullest on record too.
Of course June has just seen a continuation of the cool and wet weather which began at the end of March.

While not being a big Weather Channel fan over the last 10-15 years (it used to be good prior to that time frame, but went down the crapper)...Nicole Mitchell was always one of my fave's. I hope she wins!!
I'm notorious for mixing. But I tried a new one yesterday that was excellent. Made from scratch, but we were using the left over for dipping we liked it so much.
That wasn't very helpful, was it. I tend to love the honey one.
Happy Independence Day!
