Garth UR - Unicorns or climate change, to bad they are both related....hmmmm?

Once upon a time our climates were more stable. The problem is global climate is proving to not be so stable any longer. Things are simply changing little bit, by little bit. As time goes on the world around us adapts, people adapt, clothing departments and merchandising stores adapt, animals and vegetation adapt. Although, you must wonder just exactly where, when and how adaptation may not represent such a feasible option.  When does mother nature say no and mankind has no other option but to bow?  

One question I would like to address is exactly how much are things changing. Our President and many others believe global warming is a mythical Unicorn, unseen, unknown and unanswered. So unfortunately, unlikely to be adequately addressed. No one wants to take the blame, how could one organization, individual or continent, possibly be responsible for the warming of an entire planet. To be honest I don’t believe there is or that pointing a finger will help bring whatever change may be needed.

Most of my research will require the compilation of historic climate research and the compilation of data, graphing, compiling and simply making sense of it all. I will pick between 1 and 4 locations and chart temperature and rainfall in these areas. The limitations I may have will be based on what resources I manage to gather. I would prefer to track at least 50 years of average temperatures and rainfall, as these factors are extremely important to wildlife, ecosystems and many other factors. Ranging from our personal wellbeing to the world which feeds, surrounds and humbles us. The website Weather underground has proven to be a good online resource although the data is limited until around 1980’s. I will also be making phone calls to national forests and state parks for potentially more accurate and specific research and data.

After compiling this data, I would like to show the facts, not point any fingers because what I believe is the most important is that people know them. I want people to know what this means for them and the environment which clothes, houses and feeds us. I will gather information and articles on current and past issues regarding this topic. Through this I will begin to compile a cohesive set of data to build an undeniable resume of blatant facts to lead us all to whatever destination the data may take us.
