The Earth would only have to move a few million kilometers sunward-or starward-for the delicate balance of climate to be destroyed. The Antarctic icecap would melt and flood all low-lying land; or the oceans would freeze and the whole world would be locked in eternal winter. Just a nudge in either direction would be enough.
It's so warm now, and Thanksgiving came so early - is it just me, or does it not really feel like Ramadan?
We are cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I use my finger quotation marks here, is part of the cooling process.
Remember, the difference between the world frozen over, in an ice ball, and the warming period we're in now is just 6 degrees centigrade. A change of just 1 degree can have a huge effect.
We've had these bursts of cool years here or there but that's not change. That's a trend. You only hope that this could be the beginning of true change.
The hardest part about moving from nice California weather was the freezing cold New York.
Early spring is the time for vigorous change, a preparation for the heat-driven oppression that is to come.
Seems like the cold would never go away and winter would be like the bottom of my feet but then it is gone in one night and in its place comes the sun so large and laughable.
One degree turns out to be enough to really unhinge all sorts of earth's ecosystems.
