";s:4:"text";s:4293:" Or before Chicago was even Chicago?What caused the ice ages and the subsequent warming that ended each ice age?
Chicago is better poised to survive climate change than New York or LA Compared to other major American cities, Chicago is uniquely positioned to weather the ravages of global warming… Humans were scarce and those that were around were not driving SUVs or exhibiting toxic masculinity by grilling burgers in their back yards. Factors such as a splitting jet stream, sunspot activity, or myriad other variables that influence the weather may be at work. One study estimates that there are likely to be places on Earth where unprotected humans without cooling mechanisms, such as air conditioning, would die in less than six hours if global average surface temperature rises by 12.6° F (7° C).With no adaptive planning measures in place, heat-related deaths are likely to quadruple by 2050.Given the potential for more frequent and intense heat events owing to climate change, local governments must be prepared for economic as well as public health effects. Climate not so much, hence the convenient renaming of global warming to climate change. And we can’t forget the amazing cause of both hot and cold, wet and dry, and everything in between, namely global warming.YouTube screen grab (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2DtGAlzPYw)Weather can still be predicted a few days to a week in the future.
And scientists say winters like these could become more common in the future due to climate change.”Indeed, the climate may be changing, but cooling rather than warming. And downplaying their hubris to recognize that the climate may not be predictable at all, other than looking at past cycles and assuming they will repeat in the future, for whatever hypothetical reasons.More likely, humans may have no more ability to alter the climate than we do to turn away a hurricane or plug an erupting volcano.
The “This is the same weather phenomena [sic] that made the winters of 2013-14 and 2014-15 remarkably cold.
If so, this would be a legitimate cause for alarm. Who’s to say the planet is not now slowly cooling, heading toward another minor or major ice age? Yet the left won’t give up, using the inscrutable climate as a political club for money and power. Frigid in Chicago Must Mean Global Warming By Brian C. Joondeph Chicago is chilly these days, with a low predicted for Wednesday of this week of … These projections tell us that Midwestern cities like Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit will see some of the most dramatic shifts in winter lows — from the low 20s up about 5.5°F to the high 20s.
Chicago, Illinois will experience more life-threatening heat waves with deadly effects as the planet warms. But our intrepid media will forge on through the bitter cold to make their argument.Is cold weather in Chicago new? It would be much easier if the winters were becoming warmer with Chicago 80 degrees and sunny all week in late January. Climate becomes a convenient straw man for the man-made global warming movement.
Some scientists are Climate scientist S. Fred Singer made the case for an upcoming ice age last year in Perhaps the climate warriors are correct, but not in the way they intend. These subzero temperatures are attributed to the “polar vortex” which is a weather phenomenon A polar vortex is a large pocket of very cold air, typically the coldest air in the Northern Hemisphere, which sits over the polar region during the winter season.The frigid air can find its way into the United States when the polar vortex is pushed farther south, occasionally reaching southern Canada and the northern Plains, Midwest and northeastern portions of the United States.It is not clear what drives the mass of cold Arctic air to the south. In fact, climate is impossible to predict.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change explains why.
