Well, it's getting really really hot over in Europe. It's getting really really hot over here. The difference is we're used to it. They're not. And we all hear the words climate change. And a lot of folks say, well if it's changing climate then I don't think it's hotter weather. Global warming and all that. Here's the thing. Global warming means that it gets gradually warmer over time. Doesn't mean that we get rid of cold weather completely. But you don't see as much of it. But as the jet stream gets affected, the cold weather we do get is more severe. There's more vacillations of cold weather. There's more inconsistency in weather. Areas that are normally consistently cold are going to see more warm days. Areas that are consistently milder, like where I live at, are going to see more occasions of really really cold weather in the wintertime. And add on to that more severe weather. And, you know, it's not uncommon here, but the severity will be much more intense. The frequency will be much more. And it'll spread out even further. Is it man-made? I think that it's a combination of both. I think we're coming out of the, still coming out of the last ice age. I think there is an argument to be made that it is natural, but that man-made intervention, such as the industrial evolution, and the pollutants we've thrown into the atmosphere, have sped it up significantly. And we are not taking the technology we have, or the technology that's within our reach, if we are willing to work at it, to help either reverse what we've done, or to prepare our coastal cities and towns and areas for what's coming. It's easy to stick your head in the sand and go, there's no global warming it's all about. It's a conspiracy theory that libtards are throwing around there. It's like, you know, I'm 55 years old. In my youth, we used to get two or three good snows every year here in Western North Carolina, in my area of Western North Carolina, which is in the foothills. We're lucky if we get one a year. There have been entire summers, entire winters, we've gone out without any snow, with barely any cold weather. The winter before last, we barely had any cold weather. We didn't have any snow at all. This past year we did have one ice storm, followed by one pretty good snowstorm. It wasn't a blizzard, it was a nice deep snow. It happened on consecutive weekends. The worry I have is, is that we'll see less snow but more ice, and ice is far more dangerous than snow. We haven't had a full-on blizzard here since 1993, but yeah, there's no climate change? Bullocks. Of course there is. It's just that the powers that be don't want us to do anything because it would interfere with their profit margins. Profit margins. I've said it before, I will say it again. Greed is destroying this country. Greed is destroying this world.
