I worked in Antarctica with climatologist for 12 years.
What Dr. Orr is saying is spot on with what the scientist in Antarctica told me – a decade ago.
A professor from UT told me that for the next 50-100 years we’d see "rock and roll" weather in Western NC and Easter TN. Big rains, dry, Big snow, hot, cold the whole gambit. He said it was be erratic for years until it fell into a relatively steady pattern.
We live in interesting times. We are responsible, too, collectively over decades for many of the environmental problems facing us.
