Future Climate Temp USA Map

FORECASTED StLouis Summer Temps Year 2100

Do You plan on Living in StLouis Region in 2100?  If you do, prepare to be 9.84 degrees warmer in the Summer months.  

The average temperature is projected to rise from the current average summer temp of 86.85 degrees to 96.69 degrees.  

Climate Change will cause the Average Temp of close to 100 degrees every Summer Day for StLouis in 2100

This means that it will be like living in Pharr, Texas 1,100 plus miles away close to the USA Mexico Border  that has an average temp of 96.69 degrees.

Whats this mean for Missourians?  Have you ever visited Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona?  Remember the scenery of the High Plains Desert?

Will this be the new look of Missouri in 2100 after climate change causes Ave Summer temperature to rise 9.84 degrees?



Whats this mean for the Missouri Farmers and Ranchers?  Per lessons I learned from the " Rotational Grazing " Practices in locations like Arizona that average 15 acres to raise a beef animal, (compared to the Missouri average of 5 acres needed to raise a beef animal).  The cost of beef will increase even more  since Missouri Ranchers and Farmers will not be able to raise as many cattle per acre.  

Still think climate change doesn't or won't affect the State of Missouri?  What will you eat in the Future when nothing will grow on our Farmlands?

neighbour owns it I'm guessing in the same way if a tree on your property falls into the neighbours yard, the neighbour is responsible for taking care of the damage

thanks for your input.  I'm curious as to what other people will say.  [This is not a big issue or are the parties in a fight over the veggie.]  My girl+sharon wendel  and I have been discussing it.

 I'm staying impartial on the subject but lean to the #Neighors owning it.

The women of the house say its their veggie.

Whoever "grew" it would preferably be giving the fruit of their abundance away in a loving way to that very same neighbor.
The plant is doing that before you get around to it.





I just hope they don't consider our plants as Invasive. I agree with giving it away!

My experience. Growing up on ranch. Didn't matter whose tree fell on fence. Clear tree. Rebuild fence- so the Cows don't get out!





Who do you think the Rightful owner of the Vegie is?

Yes Old Dog New Tricks-DirtyEnergyDuke and Solar

Another Dirty Coal Company jumping on Clean Energy from Solar Bandwagon 'proof' that Solar Energy has been adopted as the preferred energy source of the Future.

2 Universities in DC Make Deal to Buy Solar Power (abcnewshidden in the text of the document: 'Duke Energy Renewables'


"Whats this I asked?" 


I know Duke Energy is known for #DirtyCoal... 


a quick google search on Dirty Duke Energy led me to a page that downplays the Dirty Coal aspects of Dirty Duke Energy Company and preaches clean energy aspects.  They even downright admit clean energy is best for all.

 Coal Company jumping on Clean Energy from Solar Bandwagon 

'proof' that Solar Energy has been adopted as the 

preferred energy source of the Future. Scotty

What I found most interesting is: "This Dirty Coal company has jumped on the #Solar bandwagon-which means that even dirtydukeenergy has realized the importance of clean energy production from non-polluting sources." Further proof that #SolarEnergy has been adopted as the preferred energy source of the Future.
Even here in #StLouis the local #DirtyCoal company #Ameren is building a big solar energy plant. Once again proof that #cleanenergy from solar is both profitable for the owner and is the Future!
  • Do you realize that the same #BigBusiness #dirtycoal  companies that are fighting and supporting negative ad campaigns with #dirtyenergymoney against #CleanEnergy  are then investing $$$ #Money   ' IN ' #solarenergy  .  This should show you what is going on behind closed doors (in the Energy Industry) in regard to the future of energy and where it will come from.  
  • Solar is the Future.  Dirty Energy realizes it and soon you will too. 

Build Green,
Scotty

St Louis Renewable Energy: Global Warming ie: Climate Change is Science the G...

Don't let the GOP pull the Wool over your Eyes on the Climate Change Issue-Scotty 

__________________
So If you are as sick as I am of the Denial and the GOPs inaction to curtail GHG Emissions.  I encourage everyone to contact your Elected Leaders and tell them: Act to Save Our Planet from Global Warming ie: Climate Change caused mainly by the Exhaust Gases from Fossil Fuels.

Find your Elected Leaders Information 
-Find Your Representatives-Republican or Democrat, and Let Your Voice BE HEARD! Active Participation is Suggested 

Need I mention again that Clean Energy Production will also create JOBS? and Lessen the Demand the US has on Imports of Oil from the Middle East?  It really pisses me off to think about all the prior Service Men and Women who have given so much to protect our Nation from the Damage created from the consumption of OIL, especially from Nations that oppose the Freedoms the USA is best know for.  We can lessen this demand and create Clean Energy Jobs for the USA.

CHECK OUT "THE TURNING POINT," NEW ARTICLE IN ROLLING STONE A MUST-READ!

CHECK OUT AL GORE'S NEW
ARTICLE IN ROLLING STONE >
 
 CHECK OUT "THE TURNING POINT," MY NEW ARTICLE IN ROLLING STONE. IT'S A MUST-READ! 
 
 
Dear Reader,
As a Climate Reality activist, you are truly at the front lines of powering the social revolution for climate action. And today, I wanted to write to you for two important reasons.
First: thank you! Thank you for taking the time to turn your passion for our climate's future into action.
Second: I've written a new article in the next issue of Rolling Stone magazine, and I wanted to make sure you had a chance to check it out before it hits newsstands on Friday.
Recently, the news about the climate crisis has included some hard things to read -- like the announcement by scientists that the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is now irreversible. But we don't have time or reasons to feel despair; that's just another form of denial, paralyzing action. As you'll see in my article, I'm extremely hopeful for the future of our great planet. Sometimes it's worth reminding ourselves that the solutions to this climate crisis are right in front us, right here, right now, and I wanted to share this good news with people like you who are fighting for a clean-energy future.
So please, take a few minutes to read this article. I hope that when you do you'll take the time to share it with friends, family, and others who are helping to create a healthy and sustainable future for all of us.
Thanks again for all the hard work that you do. Together, we can create lasting change. And that's just one more reason I'm hopeful this year.
Sincerely,
Al Gore
Founder and Chairman

In the struggle to solve the climate crisis, a powerful, largely unnoticed shift is taking place
