Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Climate Change All The Way Back To 1949

Temps have waxed and waned for millions of years. Nothing we do in a few brief seconds of geologic time will alter those processes.

Nevertheless, average temperatures are rising even though daily temperatures vary. We know that glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising. such melting can only be caused by rising temperatures. Why they are rising is debatable, is it climate change, global warming or natural fluctuations?

Pueblo, Colorado set a record yesterday by hitting 74 degrees, matching the record set in 1928. Of course, the members of the Church of Climtology started screaming "CLIMATE CHANGE!"

Except doesn't this simply prove it was just as hot 89 years ago?

But... But... RACISM....!!!!!

lmfao at the LIBTARDS

Our Jan high here in West Texas was 90 degrees in 1916.

Our Feb high here was 95 in 1917.

Climate change is real. "Man Made Climate Change" is complete BS.
The Earth is in a warning trend, as are Mars, Venus and Mercury. The facts don't lie.
But climate scientists are pretty much funded by government grants, and those who deny man made climate change find themselves getting less than those who support the agenda.

Do you all deny what doctors tell you as well? Just curious - if you want to flee science, it seems like you should flee it entirely. No medicine, no surgery - hell - no medical help at all! No internet. No phones. No cars. No tractors. No guns. All brought to you by science. Then again, oil companies aren't creating FUD for those other technologies, so nothing there for you to fall for. :-/

Oh, would you be asking about the American Medical Association? You know, the gifted scientists that brought us Low-Fat Diets when the only thing backing them was the Dairy Industry's desire to pimp milk after all the good stuff (that sells without effort) is taken out? Or the one that kills more people daily than drunks driving? Or the one that pushes programs that have left the US well out of the top 50 countries in areas like pediatric mortality? Or any of the others...

Careful with your answer, there may be a follow-up question...

Much more with several pictures in provided link..

Dad remembered the winter of 49 here in SW Idaho, and talked about it numerous times.

Look at the graph. 5 hot zones and 4 ice zones in the past 420,000 years. They can follow these cycles back 800,000 years. Im thinking the dinosaurs were driving too many cars.

I dont think that bicycle pic was taken in 49.

Things never stay the same, and that includes the climate, or the weather, ever how you choose to label it. It runs in cycles, and always has, always will. I've heard the old folks talk about the bad winters in years past, and the hot summers as well. I've read the weather records for our area, and the record temps and precipitation are always in the period before the "experts" told us we were having climate change.

That was my point in starting this thread. Just about all the weather records occurred years ago, and yet we are told that it's hotter now, and drier, or wetter, or whatever bullchit the "experts" can come up with. There is no doubt that regardless of what our weather does, these people will spin it to their desired conclusion. They're not really interested in climate change anyway, as much as they're interested in finding an opportunity to use it to promote their liberal agenda.

Never seem to see the Experts provide any real sort of perspective. From my amateur seat, it appears that the occasional volcano or meteor strike has had a far more dramatic effect on global affairs.
Were you to review much of the same literature from the late 60's and 70's, many of these very same expert institutions were sure we were heading into a period of global cooling. AND, we were nearly out of oil.
I'm so confused.....

I was born in '48 so I was only a few months old during that storm. My parents had a lot to say about it over the years. We lived in Payette, a tiny town on the OR border.

About that bicycle...I looked it up. Campagnolo invented the front derailleur in '48. Their rear derailleur had been around for a while. It's possible that someone got their hands on one in time for that storm.

By MN standards, the big storm of '49 was ho hum. However, it's what you're prepared for. A storm like that in so. Idaho just doesn't happen so they weren't equipped for it. Even today, most towns down have snow plows. It's hard to justify the expense for 1 or 2 6" snowfalls each winter. A foot of snow here will only happen once every 2 or 3 years. We've only been below 0 a few nights in the last several years. When I was a kid in Boise, maybe in the late 50's or early 60's, we had a couple weeks of -20. It caused all kinds of havoc but it hasn't happened again in over 50 years.

R C, how about the post its leaning against?

I don't know the history of sign posts. Your average post hasn't piqued my interest enough to extensively research it's history.

It’s raining like hell here now. Climate change??
