what are y'all saving from the wild to deal with coming crisis?

Common sense 101 for gas holding capabilities of water also covered in any introduction to chemistry class. Regarding the belated spikes, makes perfect sense to me when you consider permafrost melting and methane hydrates releasing their payload into the atmosphere.

The NASA quote stated that carbon dioxide levels in ice cores recorded atmospheric level shifts. post 844

Post 852 responded "This is totally false. Ice core data show just the opposite: CO2 levels always rose about 800 years (average, I think) after temperatures rose."

My request for a citation was about the conclusion that temperatures on earth rose about 800 years before the carbon dioxide layers in the ice.

In response, the poster cited to Joanne ["Nova"] Codling. She asserts the 800 year delay, but also admits the rising carbon dioxide levels.

By looking into the citation concerning the 800 delay assertion, I found updated peer review research from Science magazine:

The Scientific American published information about the more updated and complete research, which narrows the gap to closer to 200 years.
"His team compiled an extensive record of Antarctic temperatures and CO2 data from existing data and five ice cores drilled in the Antarctic interior over the last 30 years. Their results, published February 28 in Science, show CO2 lagged temperature by less than 200 years, drastically decreasing the amount of uncertainty in previous estimates."
...
"Snowpack becomes progressively denser from the surface down to around 100 meters, where it forms solid ice. Scientists use air trapped in the ice to determine the CO2 levels of past climates, whereas they use the ice itself to determine temperature. But because air diffuses rapidly through the ice pack, those air bubbles are younger than the ice surrounding them. This means that in places with little snowfall—like the Dome C ice core—the age difference between gas and ice can be thousands of years. Parrenin’s team addresses these concerns with a new method that establishes the different ages of the gas and ice."

My wife and I have been watching Maverick and Cheyenne but we couldn't take Paladin, my legs are bowed, I took Texas government in College, I admire Audie Murphy, I know what "caca" means in Espanol. German language skills are good, didn't they settle south of Corpus? I remember the name of my seventh grade Texas History teacher, Mrs. Kenas. The school she taught in was named after Jim Bowie. Alas I live in Missouri

Fredricksburg, area was a large German settlemant in the 1850's. There are others, but the only place in Texas I have ever heard a couple of old fellows speaking it, well a semblance of German.

Why does a "First Aid" ad come up when I view this thread? 1984?

Here OUr Crisis may be earthquake... I was on the seventh floor when the Northridge quake hit.... about two hundred miles away.... The Venetian blinds swung away from the window a good seven inches coming back and hitting the window.

Infrastructure failure is a big deal.... even if its only a local radius.... We have an evacuation plan as well as contingency plans.... Food and Water Know how to turn off the gas...

Roads may be blocked due to cracks... Do not go around Any barrier.... even if it looks safe... Know the alternate routs .... The only time I ever thought that a four wheel drive vehicle would be needed for me.

If I had to get home to my place in the desert I know all of the off road side cuts around the freeway. including some Gnarly bits through the Reservations. Its sixty miles to get home and the freeway there may be closed.

But once home I should have all I need.... Except a CB...

I like to talk like a cowboy but I suck at riding horses and never once visited a Cowboy Church event. I live south of every major US Highway but north of the proposed wall, now I'm confused. I don't speak Spanish but that is due to my limited abilities to be bilingual and I am afraid to lose my German language skills. Man I sound like a hot mess @Texas Kiki help me with my identity crisis too!

another Texan, I wonder if he spoke German (copied and pasted from a Google search

Chester William Nimitz, Sr. was a fleet admiral of the United States Navy. He played a major role in the naval history of World War II as Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet and Commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas, commanding Allied air, land, and sea forces during World War II. Wikipedia

I mentioned earlier that we all need to keep in the back of our minds the possibility that we could be entering a period of cooler weather, and prepare for that.

This is a big part of what I had in mind. Anomalous cold (mainly) and rain caused by a weakened jet stream associated with low solar activity is currently negatively impacting the major growing regions of the world: China, Ukraine, US midwest, Russia, Brazil. Soybean and corn production has already been damaged considerably in the US. Might be wise to consider storing away some extra food now. There may not be a problem this year, but if it persists... well you get the idea.

Weve been in drought conditions more than tweny years now.... Our fire storms akin to the one that happened up north just recently happend in 2003 and 2005 First one Blew through San Diego joining up with fires closer to Mexico... I was in escrow on both houses... one that I was selling and one that I was buying.

The fellow that bought my house in town was a local hero. He hot-wired a water truck in the community of Crest... and saved five homes on his own. His house burned down, he and his wife and five kids lost everything.

We used to have fifteen to twenty inches of rain here... Doesnt sound like a lot but it was enough to keep the trees in the mountains happy. Now we get 9 and more now and then.

Our water comes from Aquefers and the Colorado after several switch backs and arm wrestles from other counties. ALL farms are Irrigated... Even Avocado orchards which cover thousands of acres....

This morning I was out doodling around and I picked some clover, grass, and sheep sorrel; fed it to the chickens. Then I noticed that in our steep slopes, some of the grasses’s seeds were browning. I picked a lot of those and fed them to the girls, too. They ate and ate. I was wondering what to store up for winter (the free ranging season is pretty short here) if I had to forage for them. Probably just what I fed them today, dried. And dried bugs for protein? Hmm. They might end up eating more scrambled eggs or dried meat than I’d otherwise be feeding them. And amaranth - high in protein!
