I am of the firm belief that the weather is cyclical. Now determining how these cycles work is anybody's guess as of now that is why I alluded to documentation above. History of weather events in this country, or the world for that matter, is relatively "young." How do we know that the same thing happening with the climate now didn't happen 500 years ago? 1000 year ago? Etc.
It does make for great discussion and tbh I am fascinated by it. I can tell you this first hand as an avid icefisherman. It was only 8 years ago that I was drilling through the most ice I had ever seen around here. Lake Wawasee was a parking lot with trucks parked on it a day I fished. I had to cut through 36"s to get a hook in the water. At the time I said "global warming my ass." Remember the global warming rhetoric from just a few short years ago? Now it has morphed into climate change.
I got a few more things I could add dealing with this "crisis" but it will probably get us(me) onto a different tangent.
