Its a simplified narrative being projected on a subject which is easily one of the more most complicated. Fixed it for you, no charge .....  PS: Maybe I should have made it " THE most complicated"? Women....you're forgetting about women Ratty 😉 |

Guys, thank you for the warm (talking about climate change is that a pun?) Welcome. For those who ask I am situated in Central UK. Northamptonshire to be precise. It misses most of the severe weather it seems, thunderstorms pass us by, snow showers miss us, but it is a pleasant area of the country. I have nearly 50 years of observations, noted in my head, that I fall back on...warmest July ever? Really? Was warmer in the past such as 2003 with record temperatures recorded at Pitsford reservoir. At least we have the CET records to fall back on though it is very interesting much data has been recorded in the states about weather and to watch the graphs get twisted and manipulated to make the science fit the theory... Hi Shaggy, welcome! We're not far apart, I'm in Buckingham just over the Nhants border. The general public are frustrating....I stopped to chat to a neighbour as I drove past in my mitsubishi l200, after a minute he suggested I carry on as my engine was running and contributing to climate change, I asked 'what climate change', as Ida had just flooded NY he used that as an example....this coming from a guy who didn't know how much CO² is in the atmosphere when I asked him. Its a simplified narrative being projected on a subject which is easily one of the more complicated. Simplified narratives are always the most st6upid. They are neccessarily so to catch the attention/support of people who don't have the time or persuasion to look more deeply at an issue, but like the sound of it all. Someone should write a "History of Stupid Narratives". Stupid narratives can fail or succeed. The Germans who stopped, pointed East and started marching were just fullfilling the prophecy of a stupid narrative. The Spanish Hildalgos sailed west to accomplish the same thing. Perhaps it deserves a thread on this site. I'm just stupid enougth to contribute.  |

"If everyone is thinking the same thing, then someone isn't thinking" should be the motto of this board. Agreed. Shall we adopt it? |

Been lurking for a long time on the old board and this one. Thought it was time to bump the new member thread. I am not sure what I have to offer other than local observation and occasional sarcasm.
I happened upon the old sight while I was trying to figure out why my yield monitor showed me driving though a line of hedge trees. I think there just happened to be a solar flare at the appropriate time to confuse the GPS receiver on the yield monitor.

How is the crop? |

Welcome Steve. We can always use more local insight and common sense. So you found us in a flash of light on the road to Damascus? Attachments:
