The acid rain was something that was used in the 70's as a scare to get people onboard for pressuring corporations to clean up their pollution and waste removal. I completely agreed with this. The were destroying watersheds and other natural resources. Acid rain was bullshit though.
The Ozone is also crap. If there was a hole as big as they say it was, we wouldn't be here right now. It is the shell that protects us from space. Once again bullshit scare tactic.
Global warming was next. Turned out to be BS also. There has always been warmer periods and cooler periods in history. So, they changed the term to a double negative, Climate Change. The very definition of climate is change. It'd be damn scary if the climate stopped changing.
I will agree with this; there are small degrees of change around heavily urban areas, which is like lake effect weather in western NY or PA for example. Next time the local news shows you a map of current temps, around urban areas, it's always 3-10 deg warmer. With this take a look at where airports are located, go back 30 years and take a look at the development around those. So, when weather is reported the only temps that are official are airports and military institutions. Urban sprawl has caused the temps to be warmer and only because of urban sprawl, not CO2.

This week’s cold temperatures mean that manatees are back in abundance at Blue Spring State Park in Orange City, which logged a daily count of 705 on Thursday, according to the park's Facebook page.
That approaches the park’s previous record daily count of 729 manatees, set on Jan. 17, 2023. The previous high was 721, logged on Jan. 29, 2022. It also represents an increase over Wednesday’s count of 685.
On Thursday, representatives of Friends of Blue Spring State Park and Save the Manatee Club were slated to be at the park offering manatee merchandise and manatee adoptions, according to the Blue Spring State Park Facebook page.
With forecasts that call for warmer temperatures, it’s hard to predict how many of the creatures will remain in the 72-degree spring waters through the weekend, but the park will be open from 8 a.m.-sundown throughout the holiday weekend, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Here’s what you need to know about manatees and how to see them at Blue Spring:
Why do manatees flock to Blue Spring?
The spring run is federally protected and closed to recreation during manatee season, which runs from mid-November to March, as the marine mammals flock to the 72-degree waters when temperatures drop.
The St. John's River was a chilly 61.7 degrees on Wednesday, according to Save the Manatee Club, but manatees can swim into the river for short periods during cold weather to feed.
How cold is it expected to get this weekend?
Nighttime lows are forecast to dip to 57 degrees on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne.
Nighttime lows are expected to be in the low 60s through Christmas. Inland areas could be a bit colder.
What are tips for visiting the park to see manatees?
Blue Spring State Park, 2100 W. French Ave. in Orange City, is open from 8 a.m.-sundown daily.
Admission at the gate is $4 for single-occupant vehicle, $6 for per vehicle of 2-8 people, $2 for pedestrians, bicyclists.

If the park reaches capacity during winter manatee season, it remains open to visitors on a one-in, one-out basis. Biggest crowds typically arrive between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when waits can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the day.

You can’t put on long sleeves? Lower sixties is awesome porch weather.
We will be enjoying the 50s come Sat and Sunday and Monday, in the burgh.
Yup. If he is honest about sitting outside, Central Florida summer is not what he wants.
LOL, I feel better now. My AquaNet spraying into the sky every night is paying off. Two cans a night, every night.
Sounds ideal. Get a fire going with a cigar and whiskey
It was 28 degrees yesterday morning and 30 degrees this morning with a heavy frost here. Too many people, including many who live in Florida, think it's always warm.
Not yet but that will happen after tonight.
What gets us is the cold wind coming off the ocean.
Damp cold even our newcomers notice.
Flannels for 30’s temps? Mom...are you sleeping outside or what?
We are in the 40’s here and lovin’ life! (Knowing the worst is yet to come.)
Hope you all survive the cold!
When the temp drops and that cold damp wind seeps into your bones you best believe it.
Newcomers from up north are even surprised at how the damp cold can get to you.
But today here in Jax is just the ideal winter day for us NoFla folks. Near 60 no humidity electric blue skies.
The Jags game on CBS will show us off.
In the 8 years I’ve lived here in the Tampa Bay area (holy shit time flies), I cannot remember a cold streak(60’s for a high) this long. Not even close, usually you’ll have a few days at most then it’ll bounce back up to upper 70’s low 80’s. And we’ve had quite a bit of rain, which is very unusual for this time of year. I’m thinking El Niño or something.
I think that last big “cold snap” (by Florida standards) was around 2010.
Personally, I love 50-60 degree temperatures because they lower my energy bills, which were brutal this summer.
Agree. I can recall sitting in the Gator Bowl 2009 when we played WV for Bobby’s last game and we had flurries after the game. It got to 19 degrees that night. Killed my bird of paradise plant.
If the walls are rockin don’t come knocking.
I have zero desire to even visit that place. Too many northerners,
You ever consider solar? I know a guy😉
Tge coldest most miserable I ever have been at a football game was the 1983 Gator Bowl vs. Florida. Little breeze coming off the ocean, cold (for Florida) temps and no winter/stadium jacket…miserable! And all night long tge Florida faithful kept yelling “Give’n hell, Charlie Pell!”
Plus Hayden left the offense in Iowa City that night…but Ronnie Harmon made one of the great catches of all time (a one handed) that night….. but damn, it was miserably cold that night!
Last year, in the western panhandle, we had a week of lows in the teens and highs in the upper 20s lower 30s. Killed a lot of fruit trees that had been around for 20-30 years. Easily the coldest streak I've seen in the 25 years I've been living here.
