If we take 2009 as our cherry-picked baseline, house prices in my neighborhood have nearly doubled over the past decade.

When I was in Junior High School (1971-73), my parents bought me an encyclopedia set, which included options to purchase annual updates (Yearbook and "Year in Science"). Well now, my 1972 Science Annual has articles in it that talk about impending doom from "acid rain" and "Earth's long-term cooling trends" (due, I guess, to all the industrial pollution and soot that was being pumped into the air, thus blocking out sunlight, resulting in global cooling). I still have that reference in my personal library. Of course, one article did point out that "greenhouse effects arising from CO2 could possibly mitigate the inevitable cooling trend to some degree," but scientists agreed that the dominant effect was cooling. Besides we were overdue for the next Ice Age anyway... But, I guess we just know so much more now... :-)

I actually stumbled on this a few days ago, looking at other Grand Solar Minimum durations. I knew we had entered a Solar minimum, but was trying to see how long the cold would last, usually 11 or more years. They predict this is a deept one, however. Still, no one is mentioning the 200,000 year Earth cycle, and that its magnetic poles are beginning to switch, also likely to bring cold temps. Anyone still buying the CO2 and AOC theroires, better study how the sun dictates, and Congress aimlessly chatters, no one can stop any of it.

Yes. I've said elsewhere in the Gulch we would know the left was serious about AGW when their elites have a massive sale on beach front property. Notice Obummer just bought a spread on Martha's Vineyard.

Yep, remember "runaway cooling" expected from increased polar caps and snow covered land that reflects the earth's sunlight back into space, causing still more cooling and a new ice age.

If the water was rising by feet, the prices of houses like yours located where it is. Would collapse. I live in a cement house in vegas. That form of construction works well here too.

I live in South Florida. My backyard ends on a canal that has sailboat access to the ocean. The houses in my neighborhood were built in the early 1950s. I can see where the high and low tide lines were three-quarters of a century ago on the seawalls across the water, and the difference between then and now is measured in millimeters and not in feet.

Prices of houses in my neighborhood are higher than they were, when I bought my house. And, remember, they were built in the early 1950s (concrete block and poured concrete, of course; only an idiot lets his children sleep in a matchstick-frame house).

Those are the facts (along with one parenthetical opinion).

We could, but then they would move the goalposts, remind us that Hitler was an environmentalist, and scream "Naaaaaaaaaaziiiiiiii....!!!!" like the Body Snatchers that they are.

Ignore their words. Judge them by their deeds.

Our biggest danger is FEMA and gov insurance- hiding true rusks

Wouldn’t land, home, and business values would be rapidly changing if there was imminent climate change? Seaside property should be plummeting in value

Well, there's a possibility that it's both, but most cattlemen (I'm from Texas) that I know are quite set in continuing their family livelihoods - at least, as long as they can, and I doubt it's different in Iowa. Farming seems to be deep in one's bones, if one is so "afflicted." :-)

However, the BLM could be a problem - I am sure there are nuances surrounding that that are quite opaque to me.

🙃

Thank you, gharkness. It will likely be temporary in that case. I was thinking maybe the environmentalist movement against beef may be taking a toll somehow I'm not aware of. Maybe the Bureau of Land Management was successful in driving too many ranchers out of business and causing government induced shortages.

< shudder > No doubt, she does.

I remember the scare of global cooling in the 70's and wondering if I would have to move further south to escape the disaster. Thank goodness for global warming, now I can move further north!
Weather change and blaming man for it is the new method for establishing collectivism by encouraging fear in the population and their demands that 'something' must be done to save us no matter what the cost in violence and loss of life. If all the alarmists would demonstrate how to solve the problem by eliminating their carbon foot print (suicide) the number of remaining humans would not have a noticeable impact and we would learn from their example by forgetting about collectivism once and for all.

I love the "more severe weather" comment as well.
So tired of all of them!

I usually turn it around and say "What year can we say it is actually too late and you shut up about it because there is nothing we can do?"
Followed with...
Don't talk to me about it until AFTER that year!

Thanks!

It’s a result of the flooding back in the spring in Iowa and surrounding states. I have a friend who lives in that are and she gave me the heads up on that (for meat as well as vegetables). Probably wheat too, though we don’t eat wheat. Definitely could do a number on bread prices, though.

As a result we stocked up on several hundred dollars’ worth of meat. Of course it will eventually run out but maybe by then the price will be back down.

Edited to remove a “false start” on a paragraph that has already been added.

Don't have to be old: we are currently in a global cooling period again.

I have discussed this many times on this forum. Initially I received many negative responses. They denied any such spraying was occurring . Evidence such as photos of planes fuselages reconfigured to dispense these nanoparticles of aluminum and berium were ignored. So were true “whistleblower s” reporting of what they exposed from the inside of the military. Of course many have been indoctrinated to believe there is no such thing as a conspiracy. Even while a conspir@cy of a vast scope is being exposed daily. That being that Trump is a Russian agent hoax or now the star chamber auditions to determine who will lie the best in the public impeachment hearings. What I call the Schiff show.
I watch the skies regularly this year has had far fewer chem trails than previous few years, but I watched them crisscross the sky yesterday till just one big milky cloud resulted.
I don’t condone or approve of this pollution.

And now the claim is the current and recent cold weather is the result of the global warming notion. .

Soylent Green.

We need to use their tactics against them. For example I saw a story about a high school football league that was being governed by these controllers. They had a rule that would and did result in a coaches suspension for scoring 45 points more than the opponent. The coaches should have came together and changed the score for a touchdown and extra point as a tenth of a point. as .7 vs 7 whalla 70-0 win becomes a 7-0 win . We have to keep fighting back at these morons.

Trump may not have a plan, but you can bet Warren does!

I remember reading a warning (threat?) about a summer such as the "summer of 1816", supposedly because of pollution of the atmosphere such that the sun's rays would be impeded from getting through. I think it was in a magazine in 1972 or 1973.

Grailing?
