Can’t be anything else, can it?

  1. Can’t be anything else, can it?

    From the days of my youth, old men spoke of a change in the weather at this time of year called “Winter”.

    More likely than all this Warble Gloaming bollocks.

  2. JG.
    You must be going back in to the mists of time – not that we have mists anymore, what with the climate emergency and stuff.

  3. @Bucko – I could never get mine to take the bloody pills. Chucking it down the throat and tickling it never worked, bastard just spat it back up. Hiding it in a bowl of salmon didn’t work, shiny white pill left in otherwise clean bowl. The only thing that worked was grinding it over wet food and then not providing anything else until the bugger ate it.

    Cats are cute, but their wilfulness is often very frustrating.

  4. You don’t have to be an advertising executive to realise why the renamed the brand “Climate change”. Dear old Dopey Joe displayed the required level of intellect to believe in the scam when, looking at the devastation caused by a hurricane, he said “If this doesn’t convince folks this is Climate Change, nothing will”…

  5. Slightly higher temperatures worldwide mean more water saturation of the atmosphere, and later on more precipitation. So when you do have snow of an olympic final level, it is now more likely that it will be podium stuff.
    The increase in the upper end severity of major precipitation events won’t exceed our ability to adapt according to Shellenberger.

  6. Odd JG. Down here in Queensland we call the change about this time of the year, ‘Summer’.

    They are however all warning us that any rise in temperature should be called a heatwave.

    Nice try, but you didn’t mention the Hunga Tonga-Hunga volcano. It, all on its little ownsome, managed to increase the water content of the atmosphere by 15%. That is now precipitating out.

  8. @Bongo That’s what happens when water vapour stays in the troposphere as usual, with just some of it bleeding out into the stratosphere.

    That Big! BadaBoom! shot megatons of water straight into the stratosphere. With the *slow* exchange between the atmosphere layers, it’s staying up there for a bit.
    As ice crystals, slightly elevating the atmosphere’s albedo, so actually cooling down the planet just a tad.

    Simple rule of fist: If the plume stays under 8 km, stuff comes down fast and is basically plant food redistribution.
    When it goes higher than that, a fair bit of stuff will hang around for a bit, and may cause the temperature to wibble.

  9. The Korea Meteorological Administration said 16.5cm (6.5 inches) of snow fell by 7am on Wednesday, compared with Seoul’s previous record of 12.4cm on 28 November 1972. It was the heaviest snowfall since records began in 1907, the KMA said.

    Just look at the depth of the snow!! 16 (.5!!!) centimeters of unpacked snow!! It’s a Disaster!!

    Really…. The only thing it tells us Seoul got a dose of what’s elsewhere is called “a decent dusting”, “daily maintenance” for those places making their bread with peeps frolicking around in the White Stuff. .
    If you pack it, it’s barely enough to find the old sled for the neighbourhood kiddies from the attic, for about half a day until it turns into slush..

    And last “record” was in 1972… What are the Odds it was used as “Proof Perfect” we were running headlong into the New Ice Age ( that being the ten-fad regarding climate…) at the time?
