I like when they say

A map of significant climate events for the United States in June looks almost apocalyptic

Are they finally trying to tell us something

The Earth is going through its heat cycle. Every time the sun goes through cycles so does the Earth.
Yes 2012 is going to be an interesting one weather wise but not anything to freak out about.
Be cautious when you go out in the sun, if you were sunscreen it doesn't mean you can be in the sun for a long time. Sunscreen actually increases the risk of getting cancer because when you burn it's your body telling you to get out of the sun. With sunscreen you aren't getting that same warning to get out of the sun.

On the bright side, we haven't had a major hurricane season in years.

I'm fairly young (43) but when I was growing up we called weather like this a hot spell or cold spell, we dealt with it and moved on. I actually remember it getting to 100 degrees in North Dakota one summer, and people sure talked about it, but nothing too crazy, and they took it in stride. No freaking out like they are doing now a days.

Global Warming? What a joke.

But isn't that primarily based on your local view from Texas? How do we account for the record breaking conditions globally? One thing seems fairly certain, whatever you put it down to, solar cycles, global warming or what have you, it's going to really effect the price of food in the near future. We're structured economically on given weather patterns that appear to be going sideways. The question in my mind is can we, or even are we capable of adapting to these changes?

Yes, it's easy to think that sort of thing. But then we can actually look at the data, and it shows numerous records being broken, often for years in a row. These arent just a hot day or two here and there, as tempting as it might be to pretend your anecdotal memory somehow refutes the hard data available.

some of us will be able to adapt, others will not. It's just like it's always been with life on Earth.
if i remember correctly we are over do for an ice age.

I guess you're right, some will come through this without a scratch...The bunnies have flourished like never before. Had this happened 500 years ago we'd have barely noticed the losses.

Need to start adapting now like making food and water reserve
with a good BoB

Just in case

Adapting to long term changes in the climate will involve a LOT more than a pantry of food and water and a BoB. Think generations, not weeks.

The Bob can give you a good start at least
thats what i was meaning
after that .. you live day by day making sure you plan every move ahead

Bob's only good for max 72 hours. You need an inch bag. I've got most of one set, still need to make it complete.

Bobs are good if you intend on being found in a short time, you can't rely on the provisions for a long term. Day to day, hand by hand, you may as well not have on if you're only using the supplies in that.

Again, i think you miss the point of the original comment. One doesnt adapt to a long term change in the climate by going 'day-to-day. One begins building infrastructure in such a way that takes into account the likely possible changes. Earth ships that conserve energy, for example. Planting food crops that will survive in warmer weather. Pepping cities that are close to sea level, etc.

A Bob and the like is a way to deal with one relatively short, not entirely expected disturbance. Long term planning is how you deal with something you see on the orizon, that will be with you for a long period of time.

Yr bug out bag will not help you adapt to climate change.

Just curious and I think this is on topic, what's happening re the polar ice this year please someone?
