It doesn't make you a liberal to ................

FYI, Paul Douglas is a well known meteorologist in Minnesota and an evangelical Christian that has written a book aimed at Christians skeptical of climate change.

Social media is killing critical thinking. Facebook wants clicks and likes, so it's gonna send you more stories that they think you will click and like, and less of what you don't want to hear.

But it's good that we can all come to the baptistboard to get a time out from our echo chambers.

(And that last line in the image makes me think of all of the election polls. )

 

The problem with this meme:
"Being open to data, facts, and science doesn't make you a _____. It makes you literate."

Climate change is occurring. The question is--what is causing it? That's where the disagreement comes in and where the liberal labels are born (and rightly so.) The liberal solution is to create a fake currency out of thin air, a carbon credit, and then "trade" this fake money amongst nations, basically allowing the country with the most credits to pollute the most.

 

Actually, 20 degrees Fahrenheit was considered warm in Maine (We lived there for 15 years) in the month of January.

Yes, we call it "March" here.

 

Yes, and the beginning of "spring" in Maine is when the the night time temperature in March or April is in the +20's (F) and the daytime temp is above freezing (32F), this begins the maple syrup season. We would make a couple of gallons - VERY labor intensive.

Winter begins after cider (pronounced cid-ah) season when after several frosts the apples would sweeten up, we would gather about 6 bushels of apples (we had an 80 plus acre farm), take them to the river powered cidah mill (established in 1799) and bring home 20-30 gallons, a bushel of pears helped the flavor quite a bit.

.25/gallon if you brought your own bottles, .50 otherwise.

Currently, the UK produces 1% of the wine that it consumes.

We have French documents from the Medieval Warm Period that tell us that they were seriously concerned that England would be able to produce enough wine for their own needs.

So yes, I certainly believe that the climate changes over time. We have plenty of proof of this going back centuries. So why would I add carbon emissions into the equation, when the climate already swung back and forth. Occam's Razor tells me to slice it.
