web content two:Days Are Here Again — But Is That Good?

Summary: “Across the country more than 7,700 daily temperature records were broken and people have their eyes out for an extreme weather event with local and global implications. Jim Sublett an allergist in Louisville, Kentucky states that allergies have came early due to the early warm weather and increasing patients. Dr. Heidi Cullen, Chief Climatologist at Clamate Central, states that this is somewhat true due to the increase of the earth’s temperature by 1.4 degrees over years. Yet a very miserable summer is not the full case because there is no connection with the seasons of winter and summer (so it’s impossible to really know how exactly warm it will be in the summer). “Ways to prevent the increasing weather problems should be focused on helpful and low-cost strategies that minimize loss of life”, states Christopher Field a Climate Scientist at Stanford. Over all this year and last year were significant in floods and tornadoes (this year more extreme). If it will be a very hot summer still remains the question.”

Analysis: NPR’s podcast on the weather this year of 2012 is mostly valid, due to their resources of information. An interesting statement is made by Arnold Coombs, a seventh-generation maple syrup farmer of Vermont said:  he and most maple syrup farmers of Vermont knew better than to tap a tree early or on the first Tuesday of March, but this year farmers had to be tapping by the second week. Now I’m interested in the environment but due to us and the environment we are not only stuck with weather problems, but health, safety and economic concerns due to our political, scientific and individual beliefs and activity.
