Remember the incredibly heavy eye makeup women wore in the early 80s? Boy howdy, that was a mistake!

I was so happy when the error of kohl was over.

Any battery or electric car with cobalt in it gets hit with a nuke you will have the biggest, dirtiest, worstiest bomb ever.

The idea is terrifyingly simple: Just encase a really powerful H-bomb in massive amounts of cobalt. When it explodes, it makes the cobalt radioactive and spreads it around the area or the globe, depending on the design. The half-life of the radioactive cobalt produced is about five years, which is long enough to give the fallout plenty of time to settle before it decays and kills, but short enough to produce intense radiation for a lot longer than you’d last in a fallout shelter.

...so sure..go electric and then start yet another war...

Less snow pack and more evaporation means less water in Lake Huron-Michigan compared to last year.

Post updated January 19, 2016 and noted inside

In the short term..what is El Niño again and how will it impact water levels?
El Niño is a weather pattern created by the coupling of the atmosphere and ocean producing warmer than normal water temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. El Niño occurs at the equator, but impacts weather conditions globally. El Niño typically peaks sometime before February driving energy into the atmosphere in the cooler months of the Northern Hemisphere.

Strong El Niño’s have been followed by high water (1982-’83 ) and low water (1997-’98) in Lake Huron-Michigan. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are predicting this year’s event to be possibly the second highest ever recorded lasting well into 2016, leading to these likely conditions:

NOAA expects the increase to track at about 2.1oC above normal with subsurface ocean water temperature increases of up to 6oC in some areas. Couple this with human induced climate change effects and the combined impacts are expected to be significant.

The warm air mass pressing up from the equator will likely keep the jet stream’s average path well north this winter resulting in weather conditions in the Great Lakes region that will be warmer and drier than normal.

The near record ice coverage due to the Polar Vortex in 2014 is extremely unlikely this winter and that coupled with warmer water and drier air means more evaporation from the lakes.*
[* Jan. 19 update -This only occurs if the dry air is cold. Evaporation is highest when there are big contrasts between the water and air temperatures, combined with dry winds.

So far water temperatures were higher than the previous year into the fall and winter, as well as the air temperature being warmer.]

It also means that the winter may produce more ice storms as temperatures hover around the freezing mark leaving little snowpack for the spring melt.

Global warming predictions eh?...what actually happened in the summer of 2016?
;)
the water went up

Takes decades for those trees to mature and recycle the CO2.

in the meantime, your diesel sucking tractors haul the machinery to the sites to rape Gaia, haul away her gifts to the planet and all for a sad little representation of paper money.

Think about the children Boomski and once you see that light, set your truck ablaze
