So Gary when China opened the gates on the Three Gorges project and the earth actually shuddered (can get you references if you like) what do you think the event could have done to the dynamic solid/fluid interface between the earth and the atmosphere?

I really am curious for an experts view, logic tells me that such an event would cause significant changes in weather patterns.
-----------

I hesitate to further the discussion of climate change, since this isn't the right place for that. This is a site for discussions of safe things RVing! I do apologise to everyone here for starting this!!! I thought I was providing some useful information and didn't think that I would start what amounts to a religious/political argument!

I would be happy to take the discussion off line, or at least off this forum if you like.

Gary

Dusting off my soap box...

I taught science for longer than I want to admit ago (read 30 years) and as a part of the curriculum taught global warming and can tick off the predictions made then and what is happening now.

It was never that humans were entirely at fault but what we were and still are doing contributes to the earth's natural cycles. The wild weather we're having is one of the predictions made 30+ years ago that is coming true. The droughts, the floods, the huge snow storms, the extremely hot summers and excruciatingly cold winters are a result of both our earth's cycle our our needs.

Okay... I'm climbing off my soap box and packing it away.

What is wrong is that you got soap powder ALL over the ground and your RV. Need to sweep that up and put it back in the box.

Thanks Gary,

Well spoken. I wish people would pay more attention to the science and not just believe what they want.

I just noticed that there is a very small totally white (snow covered?) man pushing a strange looking snow blower (?) on the right side of the photo near the wall! Oh, we could come up with all sorts of stories... Must have been a heck of a blizzard!

No question about warming "since records began" but earth history shows geologic signs of ice ages every 10, 000 years or so. Jetstream whipping up and down, or not.
Just because it's a new temperature to us, doesn't make it bad for the earth... just new to the earth we are used to, but still part of a natural cycle.
Climate change or global warming or whatever you want to call it is cyclical, natural, and the earth will be here thriving one way or another millions of years after humans are gone. Nature has a funny way of adapting.
You ever check the history of the area around Petrified Forest NP? Used to be a swamp ya know... Now it's a National Park, but it was frozen for a while, and now it's a desert. Does that make it bad?
There is no question about the climate changing... it's supposed to change. I just wish I could get an accurate forecast for this weekend!

X2 on all of that. One addition.....man cannot change what God has ordained.
