Thanks, Chris, for the easily understood data and the concise summary of the climate change implications. Keep informing us; it'll take time for us to grasp what's happening and bestir ourselves to confront it.
I am interested in getting to the truth on the weather trends as it relates to climate change and my understanding is you must use 30 years of weather before it can be a climate trend.
Based on this the work done by Christy and Spencer is worthwhile, and they are part of the “Realist” end of climate science, but I suggest we should review that outlook.
Here is a good summary..
John Christy: Climate Change is Not a Crisis | Tom Nelson Pod #260
This kind of work has developed a growing consensus at both government and voter level in many western nations that NetZero is unnecessary, technologically unattainable, economically unviable and extremely foolish. And especially as the “rest” of the global economies continue to do nothing anyway. It fits with the notion of focused adaption for “high risk areas” and will allow us to get on with prosperity using the power of Fossil fuels.
Its very clear there are now two opposing scientific factions suggesting vastly different climate policy action.... from mitigation through to only focused adaption.
I'm an old man, but I remember my days on the farm (65 years ago) as a young man in the winter. Snowed in numerous times in the winters for maybe 4 - 5 days at a time. One year had to use a bulldozer to open the road. Those were the days before we heated up.
Just keeping posting Statistics Chris -- facts matter to lot of us !

A great reminder! Given these reminders, what are the top three actions we (Iowans) can do this Thanksgiving to "work for change?"
Use cover crops to hold the soil. Plant more prairie to hold water better. Cut back on growing corn.
Thanks so much for this helpful information and reminder that we need to stay vigilant and work for change. This Iowan is grateful.
