Ambulance Driver’s Aimless Tweets

What's sadder, seeing partner and I doing the Butabi brothers' head bob from "Night at the Roxbury," or realizing we know ALL the dialogue? #
My weather in Louisiana has roughly the same temps as my friend reports in Hope, Alaska. Al Gore, where's my global warming again? #

It's getting boring, don't you notice? When will you learn the basic distinction between “weather” and “climate”? Naaa, don't answer, just pontificating.

Climate change predicts more frequent extreme weather events. Here in Texas we have had a string of droughts that are making it hard on us in agriculture. My fields were exceptionally hot and dry this summer and it has been a cold wet winter. The price of hay in Texas is rising.

Australia has been hit by record droughts and wildfires. The Arctic ice pack has indeed been shrinking for the last decade.

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. The Earth absorbs the energy of the sun, and the majority of it is stored in the oceans. We still don't totally understand how the oceans store heat energy. We are at the tail end of an 11 year solar cycle which is when the sun directs less energy our way. I am more than happy to predict that this year will be the hottest on record in the last 10 years, even taking into account the unusually cold winter in North America and Europe.

There is global climate change, how much is the result of human action, and how much is dependent on the natural cycle of the planet and the solar system is the question. Our sun has another 4-6 billion years in it, and we are full of excessive hubris to assume that our species is the last to dominate this land. The Earth will have periods when the oceans rise and when the land is covered in ice.

The real issue in the next 50 years will be global resource allocation. The climate will change no matter what we want it to do.

Please, sir – -
Might you consider junking this Aimless Tweets stuff and go back to regular blogging?

Trying to, Johnny. It's just that the muse had abandoned me for the time being, and I'm working on getting it back. Got some hunting and shooting posts in the pipeline that will hopefully get the creative juices flowing again.

The aimless tweets, by the way, are an automatic weekly compilation of my Twitter posts, each of which take zero thought and about 30 seconds to compose. They've been about all I'm capable of lately.

And then again, I could be completely wrong. Well if I'm wrong, at least Texas will be cooler for the next 20 years.

Heck, I've seen that coming for a couple of years…it's (partly) why I bought a house in Texas. Alternatives were Alaska and Colorado…
