Antartica temp in winter 50 degrees above normal

[vtcnc]

I built a 2-story ark with 13 foot ceilings and packed it with tools and a supply of NOS Mo-Max, brazed carbide, and sharpenable HSS. It's got plenty of overhead light, a strong Klipsch sound system, and enough insulation to keep it manageable most of the year. I guess that's enough. I suppose I could load two of each machine up the ramp into the ark, my 17" lathe wants a Hardinge and my big mill might like the company of a true universal. Guess the work is never done...

The image of a lathe and mill rolling up a ramp into an ark was exactly what I needed for a chuckle today. Thank you!!

As if leveling these machines wasn’t difficult enough on dry land

Level is relative!

The shop, er, ark's floor is 33' or 10 meters above mean sea level at 48 degrees North latitude, so I'm still watching and waiting, biding my time, considering whether it's worth it to DRO the lathe or not or if I should finish my DIYCNC before the extinction event. They say I'm above the tsunami flood zone, but the water is within batting range. All this makes me wonder if controlling saturated fats in my diet is worth the trouble.

Climate change as been going on since the beginning. Things that actually effect it would be the big question if any.

Years ago I found sea shells at about 5500' in Southern Utah. In my home state of Montana there is plenty of evidence of ocean and ice.

The only thing I know, change is inevitable.

I went to Antarctica this past summer (our winter).

Truly amazing place with very few distinct species holding everything together. If the krill down there fails I worry for every ecosystem on our planet.

We're all connected.

I like science, it has to prove itself every day.

BTW, Don't go to Antarctica. It doesn't need you there and penguins are really stinky.

You did pack lots of bacon, right?

Still nature doing what nature does.

If by that you mean the laws of physics doing what they do, as is to be expected when a species significantly changes the environment, then sure.

If you don't mean that, then just say you think climate change is a hoax, or that you think you know better than the overwhelming majority of scientists (and not just those from the specific disciplines that are related to climate).

Nothing humans do is outside 'nature' (or, to use that lazy, irrational, stupid term, 'unnatural') because you can't get outside 'nature' because 'nature' == the laws of physics.

There has been positive news regarding climate. I’ll probably butcher this, but I recently heard that the temperature rise estimated over a certain number of years has been nearly halved, due to climate efforts. So it was say 5 degrees Fahrenheit rise expected over ten years. And now they’ve changed the estimate to 2.5 degrees over ten years. Something like that. So even with all the negative attitudes towards climate change, we’re still making progress.

People seem to forget and the media misleads, but were literally sitting on top of a massive, much larger than we can comprehend, ball of molten rock and iron.


Every now and then that's going to rise to the surface and change up the atmospheric temperature.

The likelihood of our present warming trend owing to this dramatically increased, entirely natural greenhouse effect of water vapor from the Tonga eruption has been admitted to by the two major space agencies - NASA and the European Space Agency - yet has remained largely unreported in the media.

NASA: "Unprecedented" Underwater Volcanic Eruption Likely Responsible for Current Heat Waves - NewsBreak

The huge amount of water vapor hurled into the atmosphere, as detected by NASA’s Microwave Limb Sounder, could end up temporarily warming Earth’s surface. On January 15th of 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai undersea volcano erupted, ejecting enough water into Earth's stratosphere to fill...
