Can We Talk? -- Seriously? -- February 11, 2019

This was posted over the weekend:

Global warming, again. A strong advocate of controlling "human-made CO2 emissions", Amy Klobuchar announces her run for presidency during a frigid snowstorm.

Now, this, Monday, February 11, 2019, sent to me by a reader, link here:

Minnesota has warmed 2.9 degrees between 1895 and 2017 and now gets an average of 3.4 more inches of precipitation, though the most dramatic changes have happened in the last several decades and are expected to continue.

Okay, since 1895 -- that's like 123 years ago -- the average temperature of Minnesota has increased by 3 or 4 degrees.

Look at the photo above: this is not an unusual photo coming out of Minnesota. In fact, it's pretty typical.

Can we talk? Seriously? If you asked each of those folks in the picture, do you think they woud be upset that the average temperature in Minnesota has been increasing over the past 123 years? [Actually: I would want to see the data and how the data was obtained.]

Would they be concerned that the loon (that's a bird, not the politicians) might likely spend less time in Minnesota a hundred years from now?

Would they be worried about the deer population growing? LOL. The hunters complain every year not enough deer tags are available.

Ticks? Oh, give me a break. Ticks. That's the worry Minnesotans have if their average temperature continues to increase a couple of degrees.

Can we talk? Seriously?
