Saw that. Even without El Nino. Right now it's cold in North America but every where else the temps are above normal.

Pretty nice 29 here right now. Still solid two months of winter left, send some of that "free global-warming love" this way, please.....

In case of weather change, it's either people die, or they move away

Another option is of course being aware that we all have some responsability in climate change, and act accordingly.
Or else, burn down the planet till it lasts if you like. That's another option for those who are blind - sorry, for the visually impaired.

We just get extreme weather, hot and cold! I could deal with spring coming a little earlier.

The climate changes. Always has, always will. Humans have great ingenuity, and will come up with ways to adapt. Everything will be fine.

I’d say what I thought but it would only serve to piss off half the people here, change zero minds, and not amount to a pinch of shit in the end. Bonsai on!

That is probably the best post i have seen in anclimate discussion here ever. Thank you. Grow on!

Ain't gonna comment on global warming but it has been an unusual winter here in Socal for sure!
I thought I repotted a bit early last week but my chinese elms are already budding. I'm seeing some slight swell on some of my other trees meaning they'll follow suite within a few weeks or less. Don't mind it much though. Have time to repot now but won't next month.

Yep.
Climate changes.
Natural process.
Been thru 7 ice ages already.
That's how it goes.
And just "For Your Information" @AlainK .....:

So if you want to cower in fear and live your life scared everyday, like the government wants you to, you go right on ahead and do that.
I prefer to pull my head out of the sand and use it to think for myself.
Have a great day everyone!

Keep the planet clean.
See how the Barrier Reef is being repaired.
We are the shepherds and we must use science.
Keep the planet clean.

Indeed.
Hard science that has nothing to tell but the hard truth. Like this....
www.scientificamerican.com/article/ice-core-data-help-solve/
It proves that CO2 is not causing the warming.
CO2 is not our enemy.
It's essential for plant growth.
Plants on land provide 30% of the oxygen we breath.
The other 70% comes from water plants which grow on whale excrement.
Save the whales!

Our existence depends on whale turds....

science also says, that co2 tests, show reactions with stone and water.
So CO2 can be stored deep below with rocks using the reaction [ source New Scientist 2017 ]
So if CO2 needs to be contained it can be.
Good Day

Yeah. The earth is an amazing machine, is it not?
Remember the Deep Water Horizon Oil spill disaster ...
How they totally freaked out....
Then everyone was like, "What happened to the oil? Where did the oil go?"
......
Well, mother nature's got some mysterious ways....
I like to point out something called "natural gushers" as well, which are natural underwater oil vents in the oceans of our planet.
They spew oil 24/7/365.....no problemo vato!

@just.wing.it ,
if an oil spill occurs where there is an oil deposit. The lifeforms there will
have had time to evolve to handle it.
Trinidad has a natural 1 acre pitch lake, and it leaks oil, the island is oil all over, the
life forms have evolved to handle it.Leaks.
The problem is when something natural or man made over loads the leaking.
Harm is done, and clean up would be needed, because the system is on
overload.
There are microbes that can deal with oil droplets.
It is how one can recover oil from wells no longer commercial by normal means.
BUT once again, not in massive amounts.

That's interesting.
Yes. I'm not saying that they didn't have to break out the Dawn on some ducks....of course there is and was damage....but nothing like what they predicted.
That's why we need to be smart about it, like you said, use science....properly.

Yes the planet will adjust, life will adapt. Humans are just not gonna like the results much. Earth doesn't care if it has humans on it.

This! But the adjustment won’t be in a human time frame.
I don’t know if the fact that the next great extinction has begun is as politically sensitive or controversial as climate change so I will risk mention of it.
I’ve been considering lately that as much as we seem to like the earth as it is, given the recent findings about the colorful nature of dinosaur plumage, and that they had many more millions of years to evolve diversity than much of our current prevalent land-based fauna, the earth may well have been a vastly more vivid, beautiful, and interesting planet 65 million years ago than it is now.
Back to the aforementioned adjustment, life will survive, but a rebuilding of diversity and ecosystems requires stability on a scale of millennia, at least, although maybe not as long as was thought in the past. As long as humans are as influential to the environment as they currently are, that stability I am guessing won’t exist. So even if the human race survives, I wonder if it will ever see anything like an earth like we have enjoyed.
