"Global Warming" Melts 1600 Years of Ice in 25 Years

Last April in Minnesota it was 80 degrees.  Some folks pointed to it then as more evidence of global warming.

Yesterday it was snowing and we had a fire going in the wood stove and the snow drifts are still 3 feet deep out behind the barn.  Of course some folks will point to this cold weather and also say it is more evidence of global warming.

And yes, other folks will say "The weather has NOTHING to do with the global warming discussion!"

I gotta be honest, I'm not the smartest man on planet earth...but when I hear someone say that last statement....it makes no sense to me what so ever.

So in Google News today there is an article about a glacier melting in the Andes Mountains.  The global warming crowd is pretty agitated because they drilled into the ice and discovered the glacier is 1600 years old!  But now in the last 25 years it is being reduced to puddles.

In what is a profound visual display of the earth’s increasingly warmer temperatures, glacial ice in the Andes that took a minimum of 1600 years to form have melted drastically in a mere 25 years, leaving behind a large pool of water framed by exposed rock and diminished beds of ice. As the ice melts, plants from thousands of years ago are being freed.

Did you catch that folks?!?!  The plants are being freed after thousands of years stuck in the ice!!

Now remember...I'm just a simple man, but....if there were green plants growing there at one time centuries ago and now they are being freed....isn't it possible that the earth is just returning to a time when green plants will grow there again??  Couldn't that be a "good" thing?

So maybe the last few hundred years have just been an anomaly?  Maybe the earth is really just trying to get back to normal?  Maybe someone will farm the ground and feed their family in the Andes where this nasty glacier has been covering the soil?  Maybe the deserts around the world are going to start to get green as rainfall increases?  Maybe they will grow corn in Northern Minnesota to feed a hungry world?

OR...maybe North Korea will set off a nuke and really heat things up on planet earth?

OR....maybe a massive volcano will explode and send so much ash into the atmosphere that the world will almost freeze to death?

The bottom line is that humans have no control over volcanoes, solar storms, ocean currents, wind, ozone layers and methane gas.  The arrogance of man to say, "we are going to change the weather of earth" is simply staggering.

I would suggest that man stay ready to adapt to changing environments....just like he always has.
