Re: How many of people are still riding this winter?
I'm still riding daily although my trips now are usually in the 20 minute range instead of the two hour plus drives I was doing the last couple of years. It's been a mild Winter so far this season. I think it might have dropped into the mid 20's once or twice and upper 20's 5-10 times so far, but the afternoon highs have been mostly in the 50's. It's rainy today but mild and it's supposed to hit 67 degrees tomorrow. If this is the result of Global Warming, why is anyone complaining? Well, I gotta go spray some aerosol cans out into the atmosphere just in case it really does help with global warming. See you all later. lol.

Re: How many of people are still riding this winter?
The sky isn't falling but something is different.
It's February 2nd and I haven't seen temperatures near 0 since it happened for 1 week at the end of December. That's weird. That being said, please give me more of this! It's going to be 67 today and I brought the bike into work this morning as it was a frigid 52 with fog. I didn't even need my scarf or my gloves. I just wore them out of habit.

Re: How many of people are still riding this winter?
I actually just read a very interesting chapter of a book about statements like "The moon is made of green cheese", where the argument is made that statements like those are scientific statements.
It's scientific because it can be falsified. It can tested and proven to be untrue. Any statement that can be falsified is a scientific statement. So while it's an inaccurate statement, it is, indeed a scientific one. Anyway, I'm one of the psycho nut bags that doesn't believe that global climate change is a farce. Although, I must also say that I'm not one of those sensational eco-pushers that thinks the world will end in 6 months if we don't all drive electric cars. (We should all drive electrics cars, but it's for a very different reason ![]() Login or Register to Remove Ads |

![]() Part of being an eco-nut was trying to figure out how to fit having children into that worldview. I agree. If there anything on the planet more resource and labor intensive than more humans, I would like to hear about it. It's not an offensive thing. It's a fact. Population is absolutely ridiculous. At least a couple can have 1 or at most 2 kids and still balance the equation. More than that, and we're talking about increased expansion multiplied by a few billion. That makes all of our current problems only further compounded in the future. ("Compounded" can be used figuratively and literally here) As far as being in the minority on climate change, that's the not the persepctive I get from where I live. I know that NC is somewhat more liberal than GA but you guys are still rather conservative compared to the rest of the nation. And the general consensus down here is that basically all of the eco science stuff is a brainwash technique thought up by the liberals to make profit on agendas that they push for. There certainly is some of that. But I don't think the political aspect of that negates the science that exists behind most of the eco-studies. I mean, without eco-science, we'd still be clear cutting forests in the south and wondering why we can't grow food anymore.... And some intelligent folks down here still argue for that practice because it's cheaper for the businesses and all that matters is more jobs, regardless of long term negative impact. It's so backwards. |

:lol: Yup, just keep burning those precious fossil fuels while you can. The sooner we run out the sooner we will all have small atomic power plants under the seat.
