Cant afford counseling!! All funds are going towards icemelt and snow removal fees! Maybe ill start a GoFundMe account for snow removal. No monetary donations, just bring whatever you have for snow removal equipment haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also lodge pole pines standing up vertical in some if our deep lakes, one for example Tenya Lake in Yosemite. Those large pines grew do to a 300 to 400 years drought cycle hundreds of years ago when only the natives roamed the areas. Today they are submerged under the lake. This is just one example of proof climate is in a cyclical cycle, been going around for a while now. Anyways something to think about, we are mere fleas on the thin earth crust which can be shaken off in an instant. While the Earth's climate has changed naturally over time, the current trend of global warming is not solely part of a natural cycle. Evidence in the form of drilled ice cores strongly suggests that human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, are the primary cause of the current increase in global temperatures. The increase in CO2 and methane since the beginning of the industrial revolution has caused the earth to heat up more than what would occur under normal conditions. The weather is becoming wilder and wilder due to the subtle rise in temperatures and will only get worse in the coming decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many foreign countries are far worse than the U.S.A. when it comes to polluting the world's atmosphere. Do you think man is going to stop using fossil fuels anytime in the next 50 yrs. I highly doubt it. Yes, they will be reduced. There aren't enough minerals to produce all the batteries needed to go green. That's why I am heavily invested in a battery recycling company. Unless you are willing to go back to living in the 1700's I don't think man can change a thing. The weather will do what the weather will do, and we aren't going to change it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 In the overall scheme of planets, I think the overwhelming control factor comes from outside a planet. We have a sun that puts out a huge amount of heat and radiation 24 x 7 x 365, and we are constantly bombarded by meteors -- and occasionally a huge, climate and terrain changing asteroid. What would happen if a huge asteroid slammed into the Pacific in an easterly direction sending a surge of waves over the Sierra's and into Nevada? What if it happened at a time like now, with all this snow cover? I think this is exactly what happened once upon a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you concede global warming is an issue and not some distardly plot to install a new world order.😉 Seriously though, what would you have us do...., nothing? By the year 2100 half of Florida and Louisiana will be underwater. Big cities and coastlines along both the east and west coast will be inundated. Ask some of the people who live in these areas. It's no joke to them and won't be for millions of others in the coming decades. There are some new technologies that show promise and the one that stands out to me is solar paint. Imagine a car powered by a coat of paint that produces electricity thereby negating the need to be constantly recharged. Finland already has a car on the market like that. Sure..it's expensive but prices will come down over time. https://www.drive.com.au/news/worlds-first-solar-powered-electric-car-enters-production/ Now imagine houses covered with solar paint or panels that generate their own electricity. Again these options will be expensive but the prices will come down and become more efficient as well. Just remember, decades ago people were using coal or wood to heat their homes and to cook on their stoves. Progress comes slow but it will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than do nothing, I would make sure everyone has a heater and an air conditioner and enough reliable energy to power them. I would not rely solely (or even heavily ) on electric vehicles or anything else because a grid failure would lead to catastrophic consequences. Those who live on land that could possible be under water -- like those in Florida or Louisiana for example -- should maybe think about moving to higher ground.

Relichunter2016 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Perhaps your both right guys, I am more concerned with clean water and clean air. As far as global warming, IMHO scientist have differing views and many times they contradict each others arguments. So humans do pollute, industrial farms, increase in human population and developing cities in areas that do not have the resources for this growth. One example is the great salt lake in Utah. Today it's 1/3 the size it once was do to mans over exploitation now theyhave to deal with arsenic and heavy metal dust blown by wind to the large populations 50 miles away. Scientists have been recording temperature, analyzing ice core samples and other methods to determine that yes global temperature is rising for the past 100 years perhaps do to emissions, and other pollutants. Can man do anything about it, I am not to sure, as developing nations want to develop and grow, we had our 100 years of industrial revolution and grew by leaps and bounds, making us a rich nation. The other nations desire the same nothing we can do to change that, nor should unless we want to take tax payer money, debt and support 1.4 billion Chinese or another 1.4 billion Indians. Ain't gona happen no way, no hoe. So let's hope we as humans learn to balance..build or urbanized in areas keeping in mind the resources available, otherwise ain't looking to good for our future generations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeper Bob Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Just wait to March and April when the warm spring rains come. Same as 1862 when the whole San Joaquin Valley was under water. There will be a arkflood. Look up the flood of 1862 same conditions in the mountains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Slim Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Beeper Bob was right about the rain. CA flood watches are out and they will soon be warnings. There's a lot of rain in the 10 day forecast for Sacramento... https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/d1be3e5aec1726d0df2d6c19f21655d886415ee60ff0e8f14afe8ff7f57c9e5d 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relichunter2 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 One thing I noticed living up in the Sierras is a lot of people just don't clear a nice defensive area in case of fire or storms. I have a neighbor whos has at least 6 trees that have fallen on top of his various sheds he has built. Last weeks rains have destroyed his fencing. When PG&E come around to clear tree branches near power lines he complains. I don't get some people, common sense and the lack of it can impact all of us. In case of fire, clear your area of fuel that can burn your house down, in case of rain and floods, trees fall, damaging your home or your neighbors property. These are the very people in some cases that complain about their damaged property. The lack of resources and response time by emergency personnel in some rural areas can affect your life, so look around your homes and do your job by clearing hazards before they become a hazard to you or your neighbors. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondmn Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 We are supposed to get 6 inches of rain in the vallely and 10 inches in the foothills and above. rain above 6500-7500 or higher and that will melt a lot of snow from yosemite down. Yosemite has been closed due to excessive snow. We had serious flooding in the valley a month ago. The small town of Planada was totally flooded along with other areas of Merced County. Looks like it will be worse than last month. I have a flood runoff drainage creek behind my house. Prayers going out to the people in our area in Jeopardy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
