Global Warming Does Exist!!

I know most of you are think that the global warming thing is bullshit.  The temps around the country are at record lows and overall we are having record snow fall.  I just read C_dog's blog and he lives in Jefferson city MO.  I live in Memphis tn.  When I was a kid (i am 36) we used to get snow here.  It would snow 1-3 inches 3-4 times a year.  Our temps would be in the single digits sometimes, teens often, 20's everynight.  Our summers would be hot but not as hot as we have now.  Our temps during the summer would be in the 90's but would rarely hit 100 or even go into101-110, and never above 110.  Cdog lives in central mo, and according to his blog he wants snow and is not getting any.  When I was a kid they got a lot of snow in that area.   Now today here is what we have here.   We dont see snow at all, we dont even see ice anymore.  We rarely even get below freezing(current cold excluded)(even a blind squirrel finds a nut everyonce in a while).  they will predict snow flurries for use a couple times during the winter but it never happens.  My theory on this prediction is that the grocery stores need a boost.  When winter weather is predicted here it causes a full on panic.  Our summers are hot as hell( i love them by the way) we will have 3 weeks of it easily hitting over a 100 everyday and will often get to 110.  This kinda sucks because i am a farmer and it really hurts my crops and my income.  It very rarely rains between july 1 and sept 1.  I bet we won't get 2-3 inches of rain during those months.  I keep reading in everyones blog about how they want spring and for the snow to stop.  There is a theory in agriculture that all the snow that occurs in the midwest and north is one of the reasons for such fertile soil in that area.  I believe Global warming is partially true.  I believe that the world is warming up, however I also believe that it is cyclical.  One day we will have scientist telling us how we are causing global cooling.  Well thats it for today, Monday I will be blogging about the diet that my wife and I are on.   Till then  stay warm you lucky snowed in bastards.

I am on the other side of the state. Howdy neighbor. So what kind of farming do you do?

Actually I live in Arkansas right across the river from Memphis. I farm soybeans and wheat.

I farm grass, but only a 1/3 of an acre :) I eschew the term global warming as being too simplistic. The world's weather patterns are far more complex than a simple two word label could ever describe. I prefer the term climate change.

Sorry you still haven't convinced me that global warming is real. Our summers have been mild and our winters are setting records for low temps. When it's 65 in Feb in northern Ohio I will reconsider my point of view, until then.... it's a farce, Just my opinion.

No doubt we are going through a climate change.Are we as people causing it? I don't believe so. Lots of people farm "grass" up here in Nor Cal too!
