I've seen several post on here in reference to our "crazy" weather we've been having lately and it always seems that a reference to Al Gore comes up. I'm not going to open a can of worms about politics and I realize that Al may have had some interest in stirring the pot for monetary gains with his global warming campaigns but putting all that bs aside, I was wonder what your thoughts and opinions were as to "why" we're experiencing such "freakish" weather patterns.
I for one believe that if the scientist are looking at thermometers and report the planet is getting warmer, I have no reason not to believe them. I also understand that a warmer planet doesn't necessarily mean we all need stock up on short sleeve shirts. I suppose it means just what we're seeing, erratic weather patterns where it's colder in some places, wetter in some places, and yet warmer and dryer in some places.
I'm not a farmer on the scale as some of you folks but I do spend a great deal of time outdoors hunting. Between my trips to South Texas and Kentucky and a few places in between, I tend to keep an eye on the weather trying to figure out where the best bucks are going to be year to year. It sure seems to me that in the last 3 years, things have been becoming less predictable. Is anyone else noticing this?
I also realize that we've only been keeping weather records for about 115 years or so and I realize the principles about weather "cycles" but at the same time, I also realize that never in the history of our planet has there been this many people and this much atmospheric "additives" from one biological species as what we're producing.
So, I'm just curious as to what some of you guys that base your living on the weather think? To be frank with you all, it scares me. If you folks in the river deltas can't grow anything due to floods and if the West Texas cattlemen can't feed their livestock due to drought, how far away are we from some of us getting real hungry?
This is stuff I think about sitting amongst some of the city folks that think as long as Central Market is open there will be food. That scares me too.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
