Currently 2ºF in Kansas City from a blast of arctic air yesterday. Low tonight forecast for -11ºF. Same temperatures forecast for the next five days. KC Chiefs have a playoff game tonight in KC. Climate change is bringing extreme weather.

Stay warm and go Chiefs!

^You may want to read this, although you don't seem to believe in climate change.

And why don't you fix your posts so they aren't littered with garbage text? There was a thread that explained how to get rid of it.

Cool! Mind telling me where you went to school and what company do you work for?

To put a cynical spin on it, I would suggest you dropped out because the curriculum proved too difficult for you, and/or the curriculum did not jibe with your conspiratorial prec-conceived notions.  The fact is, 2023 was the warmest year on record (Fact. Provable. Not flat-earth nonsense.). The overheating of the earth in the past 150+ years is man-made, and not cylical and natural. Another fact is "The 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade. In fact, the average global temperature for 2023 exceeded the pre-industrial (1850–1900) average by 2.43 degrees F (1.35 degrees C)." Also, this climate change is causing wild temperature fluctuations as well as unprecedented natural disaster events.    So don't wear that tinfoil hat too long. Your brain might boil.

Your brain might boil.  Actually none of what you cite is provable which means you do not understand how science actually works.  You are merely parroting what you've read / heard and really have no idea how these conclusions came to be or the alternative theories that have been suppressed by corporate media.  Put down the crack pipe, Mr. Mad Flunked Scientist. I am not debating the issue. It's maroons like you that are the problem, and I am frankly sick of your erroneous ilk -- the whole lot of your anti-vax, flat earth, antiscience, epistemic bubbleheads. Sit in your echo chamber and bounce your flawed ideas about to no one in particular. Ah, typical. You can bark like a dog but you can't send me verifiable evidence. You just want to hear yourself yap like a chihuahua. All talk, no substance. Yadda yadda. Did you know it has been discussed many times to ban you from the forum for your behavior? Looks like it's coming sooner rather than later. YAY!!! "Corporate media" says the guy who gets all his information from YouTube.  siLLy puPPy wrote: In fact it's so juvenille it's hilarious  You mean like color-coding your posts like a child with a crayon, or ending each post with a paragraph worth of code?

I got to see the highest level of academia from many parts of the world ... and well ... but in my case the federales moved into Santa Barbara and my tuition for grad school would be doubled, and I was already working 40 hours to pay for schooling! Channel diesel got a hold of Santa Barbara from that day on! (diesel was half price then ... )

Pretty cold, where I live the weather changes so rapidly. 50 degrees within the course of a day (it's happened before here) I just guess what the weather will be like. 2F is plenty cold for me, I prefer warm weather, 80, maybe 85F , maybe even 90F sounds good to me

It's really a matter of either paying a lot to learn and read what someone else tells you OR pay nothing (except for reading material of course) and learn everything, all sides, all angles and then some. Nothing wrong with the former if a career is what one chooses but if one only seeks knowledge for one's own purposes outside of the limitations of a mostly corrupted system, then the indie route is sooooooo the way to go ;)  Of course it really depends on the area of discipline you seek. ...

PA is doing its part in generating enough hot air to counter anything Artic.
