an even more frightening perspective

this has been done with planting practices for crops so as to keep from stripping a single plot of land from all nutrients, so it’s good to see it being done with cattle (although for different reasons)

no mention of the erosive impact cattle have vs natural grazers, though

Interesting that George Washington wrote about small farmers doing a better job with the land than plantation owners, because they grazed their animals and manured their smaller plots, which restored it as contrasted with the quick exhaustion of the soil by the preferred plantation crops.

So...is weather now climate?

Cuz I read somewhere that that makes you dum.

What gives you that idea?

No, weather is not climate but obviously you can''t have climate without weather.
I bring this up too often. I have a co-worker who when there is a "below normal" temperature in Chicago she almost always says to me, "Global warming - ha".
Funny that when there is an "above normal" temperature she never says anything.
When I try to explain to her that "Global" means the planet and not just Chicago she doesn't want to understand that concept.
"Global warming" or not, I do believe in "climate change". It's always been natural but I do believe that mankind now plays a role which affects it to a greater degree.

Since my post was about a heat wave in Siberia, if your post is "the opposite" of mine, that means you're arguing that there isn't a "heat wave" in Siberia.

Actually, mine was the opposite of a post about the weather in Siberia being grist for the mill in the frightening perspective/climate change thread.

The image was from a tweet I came upon, but rather than post the tweet which included a link to the article it's from, (since tweets can be problematic), I only posted the image, instead. Here's some context from the article, and its references:

...The temperature departures from average in Siberia this year are some of the highest of any area on Earth. Since January, the region has been running at least 5.4 degrees (3 Celsius) above the long-term average, according to a recent report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

According to Robert Rohde of Berkeley Earth, which monitors global temperature trends, Russia averaged a temperature anomaly of nearly 11 degrees (6 Celsius) above average for the January to April time period.

“That’s not only a new record anomaly for Russia,” Rhode wrote via Twitter. “That’s the largest January to April anomaly ever seen in any country’s national average.”

The alignment of weather systems is just one side of the coin in a world facing the growing impacts and severity of human-induced climate change.

This period of unusually mild Arctic weather is only the latest of many such episodes in recent years as the region rapidly warms in response to increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The Arctic as a whole is warming at more than twice the rate of the rest of the world, owing to feedbacks in the climate system, and this is leading to sweeping changes in the way of life for the area’s 4 million residents, as well as a cascade of knock-on effects to ecosystems.

...Such extreme warm intrusions in the Arctic, once rare, are becoming more routine, research has shown. A study published last July found that since 1980, these events are becoming more frequent, longer-lasting and more intense.

“Previously this was not common,” said lead author of the study Robert Graham, from the Norwegian Polar Institute, in an email. “It happened in four years between 1980-2010, but has now occurred in four out of the last five winters.”
