1. There's something serious going on with the weather and the planet

Where I live it's warm and spring like weather one day and then the cold the next, then warm the next day. It's like the earth is wobbling and the weather is erratic. It just feels like something big and bad is going to happen to our planet soon. Even my husband admitted to me the same thing about how he is nervous about the erratic weather. I talk to different people and they say the same thing. The weather is strange and no longer predictable.

2. same here in PDX

The systems seem to be moving faster

5. We are getting exactly the same thing here in lower Ala.

Temps bounce between 70's one day to 40's the next, the trees bud out and then lose their flowers in a few days when the temps drop to freezing at night, week after week of same screwball pattern.
Almost all of Feb. was cold and cloudy, very little sun, which is unusual here.
We have had weird weather in Feb, true, but not a whole month of hardly any sun.
We go to bed after hearing the weather report of warm temps, and wake up to cold temps.

"no longer predictable"...yep, that covers it.

hope and change is merely a simple meaningless slogan. It was such a lovely garden planet too....

6. AH, THOM, YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH, BUT FEW WANT TO HEAR, LET ALONE ACT

This is getting more nightmarish every year, every month, every friggin' day! We need to lead the "leaders" to make wise choices...y'know choices not spurred by a quick buck by Big Polluters. Yep, I'm afraid, that's right where we're at. The only mistake our scientists (98+% of them) make is to understimate the speed of warming and vastness of these changes. Two Degrees of temperature to make lots of the earth uninhabitable...This ain't gonna be pretty.

7. The A/C bill will be horrendous, but I think I'll otherwise survive.
