Thanks. It's interesting.

Something is definitely going on. The co2 chart is chilling for sure.

If you impose global temps on it: http://climatechange2008.wikispaces....emperature.gif it tracks pretty well up to very recently. Something's up.

Yeh, the Midwest had a crappy and long winter,'13-'14. So global warming and the human element involved is tenuous, at best.

Considering the extra snow and the extra carbon, our crops will be awesome this year. See, increased CO2 is good for us.

Until it isn't. At least y'all in Colorado won't be living in 'Water World'. 'Welcome to Colorado, the new land of enchantment'.

Salmon, loggerhead turtles (and probably many other animals).
They got magnetic mapping in their heads.
If the swapping of the poles is gradual enough, probably not a big impact as each generation would adapt to new mapping. If it happened in only a year or two, less than a life cycle, it could potentially wipe out multiple species.

Something else occurred to me. These theories will be absolutely proven or not shortly - the global temp will go up or it won't. If it doesn't, 97% of experts will have been absolutely and totally wrong.

If it does, there will be a lot of told you sos going on.

Regardless there just isn't much we can do.
