We are springing forward; example 5am will be 6am. It’s still going to be dark so the lights will be on because the sun does not rise in most places until 7am which will be 8am and most people are already out of their houses to work or school.
And the way the weather is this late in February we should still expect the cold in March, so we will still be heating up homes and buildings

Do you believe in continent drift and the polar changes from north pole becoming south pole and possably the crust plates of Eart flipping over every 100 million years or so?

i'm not saying its real or not, i have no idea. but i haven't heard a good arguement for why it is manmade. the only arguement i've heard in its defense is "look around you you'll see it". what does that mean? i live in Pennsylvania. it was almost 50 degrees until late January. Then it got abnormally cold. this "proof" that im supposed to see is that its so warm in January, but then it gets COLDER than normal, thats still caused by global warming. i don't understand, if its global WARMING, why does it make our winters colder? we got our damn winter, and its horrible and worse than usual.

society has been informed over the years about global warming but still elect to use products that affect our environment. Do you think that we are not presenting global warming in a magnitude for people to understand what will happen?

how much research have you done that suggests/proves that current global warming is just a natural cycle?

Or do you just take the skeptics word on in? Do you compare/contrast evidence from both sides and do you have a thorough understanding of historical global climate patterns?

I mean no offence in my question ...I've just seen so many arguments on here from those who refute it but clearly don't show any understanding of global climate patterns past-present

I mean other then our cities and expensive ocean front properties, do you really think global warming will have a negative impact on this planets future? Over earths life span its has been nearly covered in ice, volcanoes, sulfuric gas, ect. Life is very adaptable and even through the worst life will go on here, even tho humans may be put out of the picture. Earth may be changing maybe for the better but it is not down and out.

Is global warming human fault or morther nature taking its course?

The Earth is in an interglacial period now, the last retreat ending about 10,000 years ago. There appears to be a conventional wisdom that "the typical interglacial period lasts ~12,000 years" but this is hard to substantiate from the evidence of ice core records. For example, an article in Nature argues that the current interglacial might be most analogous to a previous interglacial that lasted 28,000 years.

Based on predicted changes in orbital forcing, in the absence of human influence, the current interglacial may be expected to last 50,000 years: see Milankovitch cycles. However anthropogenic forcing from increased "greenhouse gases" probably outweighs orbital forcing and the prediction for the next few hundred years is for temperature rises.

The Romans gre vines in the UK and we are only just able to do the same.

scientists studying scrub jays found it is common for "helpers" to assist mated birds in raising their young. the helpers lack territories and mates of their own. instead, they help the territory owners gather food for their offspring. helpers are usually fledglings from the same family and stay and help for a year before mating. A) propose a hypothesis to explain what advantage there might be for the helpers to engage in this behavior instead of seeking their own territories and mates. B) how would you test your hypothesis?

Last week we were notified officially, we are neighbours to a proposed windfarm of 42-43 turbines.
The road is being done up so it looks like a done deal.
We only have a small block which is not worth much so I am concerned about selling and moving to a regional centre now we are getting older.
We couldn't afford to take out a mortgage at our stage of life which we'll have to do if our property value drops.
