rocky_dennis Mechanicsburg, PA 39, joined Nov. 2013	With record high temperatures half the week and very close the remaining days, Central Pa had 5 straight days of 72 or more in February. But with that, comes other elements that haven't happened on record at least. York, Lancaster and other counties not confirmed yet by NWS have recorded tornado's in February. Only happening once before in Pennsylvania, was on February 24, 2016. The last two years, this has happened. California has had record breaking rains and snows. The Dakota's had early brutally cold and harsh blizzard's in the fall of 2016. What are some where you're? Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

clarity101 Aurora, CO 66, joined Oct. 2008	youre waaaay to young to remember... but we have had numerous extreme weather changes through the years on a fairly regular cycle.....since the beginning of mankind. its called weather! weather changes Washington 's Top 15 Weather Events of 1900s Editor's Note: Staff at the National Weather Service offices in California have reviewed records of major weather events to affect the state over the past 100 years. Based on impacts to people, property and the economy, National Weather Service has chosen the top 15 weather-related events to impact California, listed in ascending order. Choosing among the numerous weather events was a difficult task. Many of the events did not affect California alone but were widespread, impacting other parts of the western United States. You will note that most of the larger events are recent. This is due to the fact that record keeping has improved in the latter half of the century, while urbanization in the state has increased the economic impacts of severe storms and floods. Washington is among the nation's leaders in Presidentially declared weather-related disasters. So, choosing among the numerous 20th century weather events was a difficult task. And many of the events did not impact just Washington state alone. These events were widespread, impacting other parts of Pacific Northwest states. These kinds of events were included as well.

clarity101 Aurora, CO 66, joined Oct. 2008	i hope you dont mind me putting another vent to it...... What does the Bible say about climate change?" Answer: It is interesting to note how the phrase "climate change" is replacing "global warming" as the catch phrase of environmentalism. Some scientists/climatologists are certain that human activity, primarily greenhouse gas emissions, is impacting the environment. What they are not certain about is precisely what the impact will be. A couple of decades ago, "global cooling" was the fear, with warnings of a new ice age being the primary scare tactic. While most scientists/climatologists today believe that global warming is the primary risk, uncertainty has led to "climate change" being used as a less specific warning. Essentially, the climate change message is this: greenhouse gas emissions are damaging the environment, and, while we are not certain what the effect will be, we know it will be bad. Climatologists, ecologists, geologists, etc., are unanimous in recognizing that the earth has gone through significant temperature/climate changes in the past. Despite the fact that these climate changes were obviously not caused by human activity, many of these same scientists are convinced that human activity is the primary cause of climate change today. Why? There seem to be three primary motivations. First, some truly and fully believe the greenhouse gas emissions are causing climate change. They honestly examine the data and come to that conclusion. Second, some hold to the climate change mindset with an almost religious fervor. Many within the environmentalist movement are so obsessed with protecting "Mother Earth" that they will use any argument to accomplish that goal, no matter how biased and unbalanced it is. Third, some promote the climate change mentality for financial gain. Some of the strongest proponents of climate change legislation are those who stand to have the greatest financial gain from "green" laws and technologies. Before the climate change mindset is accepted, it should be recognized that not everyone who promotes climate change is doing so from an informed foundation and pure motives. How, then, should a Christian view climate change? We should view it skeptically and critically, but at the same time honestly and respectfully. Most importantly, though, Christians should look at climate change biblically. What does the Bible say about climate change? Not much. Likely the closest biblical examples of what could be considered climate change would be the end times disasters prophesied in Revelation 6–18. Yet these prophecies have nothing to do with greenhouse gas emissions; rather, they are the result of the wrath of God, pouring out justice on an increasingly wicked world. Also, a Christian must remember that God is in control and that this world is not our home. God will one day erase this current universe (2 Peter 3:7-12) and replace it with the New Heavens and New Earth (Revelation 21–22). How much effort should be made "saving" a planet that God is eventually going to obliterate and replace with a planet so amazing and wonderful that the current earth pales in comparison? Is there anything wrong with going green? No, of course not. Is trying to reduce your carbon footprint a good thing? Probably so. Are solar panels, wind mills, and other renewable energy sources worth pursuing? Of course. Are any of these things to be the primary focus of followers of Jesus Christ? Absolutely not! As Christians, our focus should be proclaiming the truth of the gospel, the message that has the power to save souls. Saving the planet is not within our power or responsibility. Climate change may or may not be real, and may or may not be human-caused. What we can know for certain is that God is good and sovereign, and that Planet Earth will be our habitat for as long as God desires it to be. Psalm 46:2-3, "Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."

rocky_dennis Mechanicsburg, PA 39, joined Nov. 2013	Type away, it's not my place to tell anyone what and when, they can or can't rant, talk, sarcastic remarks etc. You'll have much more weather elements and changes, where you'll are located. Storm going through the Rockies, combining with Gulf moisture, is an explosion. We're starting to see the low end of it, coming off the Appalachians. [Edited 2/26/2017 12:41:18 PM ]
