Global Warming Happening!
Is everyone enjoying being a prisoner of A/C this summer? How’s that electric bill to run the bugger?
Meanwhile glaciers melt worldwide, some in Europe exposing to the light of day hidden bunkers from WW v.1.0 or dead soldiers of the same genre. And of course, a 5,000 year old body was exposed the same way in 1991, old news indeed.
If you look at fossil fuel use history and CO2 level rise, you notice a pattern. The two reasonably well match. Even funnier is how the added carbon is old carbon devoid of C-14, the radioisotope. That can be expected of carbon that sat in formations for millions of years. The old carbon is your smoking gun.
So far, global warming has been by one degree F. But don’t be fooled. There is a time delay between CO2 rise and the warming, so warming will only accelerate. That means longer hotter summers, better hurricanes, better thunderstorms, etc. And of course nastier heatwaves.
And the use of A/C to defend yourself from the heat carries with it an irony. As you use it, it adds some little extra load causing more CO2 to be added to the air, worsening the global warming later. Oddly, it’s true aboard your SUV too, as it imposes a little extra load on the engine causing a little more added CO2 as it burns a little extra petrol. As millions of people use the A/C, that little bit adds up big time, both at home and aboard their SUV.
