re: #18 oaktree

I’m already hearing “Global Warming my ass” from “friends” up here in the northeast about the current and projected snowfall. Half the ignorance is willful - don’t want to disturb cherished notions of who or what is right and wrong.

God forbid, they understand the grade school science that explains the basic effect.

Warmer water dumps more vapor into the atmosphere. A warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor in suspension. When winter does come and that water vapor is hit by cold air, there is more of it to come down as either rain or snow.

Ironically, even with all that snow, it is still warmer over all.

I get that your friends are wilfully ignorant and cherishing their little egos. They are also through their ignorance and support of candidates who will do nothing helping to kill themselves and you. Ignorance is not a defence in this case. I really am tired of protecting the feelings of the stupid, when their stupidity will get innocent people killed.
