Ya' know, with all the science over the ages, Ya' never hear about
them passenger and military aircraft just spraying CO2 every where. LOL
We all gotta die of something.....!!
As for coal ?? Growing up, everyone in my area had a coal furnace
and a clinker pile in the back yard. The smell of burning coal was
everywhere. Not far from me was a Pennsy line running them PRR-
J-1 pitch black smokers. You hung your laundry outdoors dependent
on the train schedules......LOL
Just out of curiosity, do you know where that photo was taken?

Pretty observant. “A few centuries…” didn’t account for CFCs, planes, vehicles, and hot air from politicians. That’s it we’re done, turn out the lights, the party’s over.
On side note, I’ve seen a few articles where people have been burned on metal, asphalt, and even seat belt buckles in hot cars. Be careful out there.

I remember the hay wagons well. Didn't have anything to pick up the bale off the ground, except our arms. Got to where I could toss a 70 lb bale over my pickup if needed. Stack on the wagon then off to the barn to unload.
Kids complained one day, working in the garden, that it seemed that I never really did any "hard work" like their schoolmates parents. Told them I paid my dues already and I put in the "hard work" when I was younger and they were lucky they wouldn't have to do what I did but they were still going to learn to work.

Not sure how Phoenix is doing but here in Yuma, We are showing signs of possible Monsoon weather! Forecast shows possible rain this next weekend. ( which is usually wrong though)
We rarely had to pick them up off the ground, but did sometimes. We had no kicker but we would couple the wagons close behind the baler and you'd snatch them with your baling hook and drag them onto the wagon.
I got (re)married at age 45. One of the things about that is, my wife never saw the me that started working at 13, worked two jobs most of my life and basically busted his a**. She's only seen the guy who has it relatively easy now
the article showed up on the news feed on my iPad
This 1912 newspaper article shows we've known about climate change for long time
People have been talking about man-made climate change for more than a century and we're still not listening.

Did a 1912 Newspaper Article Predict Global Warming?
A newspaper clipping from 1912 that anticipates the global warming potential of burning coal is authentic and consistent with the history of climate science.

Monsoon moisture now in S. Nevada, but up north we had 5% relative humidity a while ago, as dry as it ever gets here (95f temperature.) Last night it got down to 53 deg. at my home, so w/ doors and windows open all night the inside of the house was 65 this morning. That meant the A/C didn't kick on until around noon. Typical July weather.

Eh, its been tepid here. Bouncing between 95° and 110° outside, which equals about 100° to 115° inside at work. Keep the air moving, hydrate, not too bad. Helluva lot better than that nasty white stuff covering the ground in winter. So glad we don't get that here. I hate the stuff.
But, I've still been cooking and working on recipes. Ain't no rest for the wicked!

It's because of all those fish farts releasing methane into the ocean. Eat more fish and do your part in saving the oceans AND us from climate change.
Since they're talking about spraying reflective stuff in the upper atmosphere to reflect the sunshine away I propose an undertaking of similar magnitude; giant paddles to stir the colder water from down deep up to the surface and the warmer water down into the depths. I'll need about 11 million to study the feasibility.
One thing that torques me is the two ranges I have access to, no shooting til 9;00AM, only get maybe an hour to1-1/2hrs before the sun hits hard and mirage goes nuts, then start sweating walking out to targets. I still stay out til noon, but, I do ask myself why I do it at times, mostly just to practice in the conditions is what I keep telling myself. I can never accuse it of being dull.
