Atmospheric physicist Bill Pekny wrote a book, A Tale of two climates, one real, one imaginary, and with the wild weather swings that we've been experiencing recently. I asked him if we were doomed. No, not at all. I think this what's happening on a large scale is quite normal. And if you look back into the rearview mirror of history, the last ice age we were in ended about twelve thousand five hundred years ago. And now we're in an interglacial warming period where we're supposed to be warming and the ice ages. So if you look at the sequence going back in history, you have a hundred thousand years of ice age and ten to fifteen thousand years of interglacial warming and another hundred thousand years of ice age, another 10 to 15 thousand of interglacial warming. And we're in one of those in a interglacial warming period right now. And it's supposed to be warming. The glaciers are supposed to be melting. And as a result, the sea level rising. But it's normal, cyclic behavior, not doomsday. And I hate to get into politics, but I think that there's too many out there that use fear mongering as a source of money, power and control. And I'll just leave it at that. But, you know, there's a lot of misinformation out there and trying to plug some holes. On a side note being used to fly into the eye of hurricanes in order to analyze those weather patterns. You know what I call that? Brave.
