How many centuries do we have data for? So 10% of the last 100 years were warmer than the other 90% and that is supposed to represent global warming or significant climate change? Stop allowing politics,emotions, or peer pressure to get you to agree with nonsense

The 10 hottest years on record were this century.

Well yea when one of the worst volcanic eruptions in human history spews ungodly amounts of ash into the atmosphere...the weather is gonna be impacted.

All he did was write a book LOL

If you are moving to Vermont for athletics and you do anything but ski you will be profoundly disappointed unless you’re bad at sports because sports here are small time.

There's definitely two things that I see happening:

1. Climate change. The average temperature has increased by 2°F in the last 100 years. There's no denying that. If you look at the historical weather patterns for Vermont, specifically the temperature data, we have definitely had more erratic temperature shifts in the last 20 years, meaning more thawing, probably due to the destabilizing of the jet stream (which is giving us this weird weather right now).

2. Confirmation bias. You don't need to point to every single temperature shift or seemingly strange weather pattern as "climate change". This honestly makes it harder to communicate with people who refuse to believe in climate change because you just start sounding like a broken record and honestly what's happening here is just subjective.

Climate change is real. It's in the data. But telling other people your subjective experience of the weather = proof of climate change just makes them chuckle to themselves. The best way to approach it is scientifically, because that's what this is.

I started subbing last winter when my kids school said they would have to go remote due to lack of staffing. I sub in the middle school because apparently MS is the hardest age group for procuring subs. I had 1st block 7th grade “English” from January until the end of school and various other spots to fill the day from January until the end of March as I own a landscape construction company. I stayed on for the first block until the end of the year as I wanted to make sure the kids had some sort of normalcy for that class.

Your last paragraph hit my experience. There is a complete lack of accountability and zero recourse for bad behavior. Personally, I think that punishment should be reintroduced to the education system. The school I subbed at (and currently sub at) does not believe in before/after school detentions or any other real punishment towards the kids.

I am fortunate when it comes to subbing. I have coached or coach a wide variety of the kids 3rd grade through 9th grade and they kids are kind and respectful to me. I have deescalated situations across the board in middle school for actual teachers and I still find it pretty fucked up with what they deal with on the regular. I figure some of the respect they give me is because of the many hours I spend/have spent with them after school. I wonder if some of it is because they know I have their parents phone number in my pocket.

My man I’m not a climate change denier but pretty sure noise in a data set isn’t showing a shift in the median… in other words u need lots and lots of high fliers to singify a shift.

Hey y’all, so I’m new to subbing in the local preschool our first kid attends. I don’t have an extensive background in teaching other than assisting in an early childhood center way back in college, but I am pretty shocked by the behavior of some of the kids. Nothing terrifying, but it makes me concerned about what elementary school could be like for my kid who will soon age into it the system. This concern is coupled with meeting a number of parents with toddlers from VT and NH in various public play settings that are already set to homeschool their kids.

I’m wondering if any public school teachers could chime in on their experience teaching in Vermont over the past few years. Unchecked behavioral issues in public schools seem so endemic to the entire country, but I’ve learned that it varies region to region. With Vermont dedicating such a high percentage of its property taxes to the school system, I wonder if our state is better off than others. I’m also curious to know what your relationships are like with admin, who appear to be undermining any attempts at managing unruly behaviors across the country.

I believe strongly in public education, but I’m worried about behavioral standards being set so low, (along with tying the teachers hands/blaming them for the kids behavior), that it becomes impossible to manage a classroom.

The Pennsylvania Dutch got up to some freaky stuff. Hiding a pickle in the tree during Christmas…

The booming of ice flexing when it’s cold is so awesome

Their experience is probably not with the weather we have now with 50 degrees change from one week to the next with rain in between

it's a rat not a scientist

The weather has been changing since the beginning of earth’s atmosphere. It will continue to change long after humans are gone

There are only two record lows in January in the last 10 years, 20F set on 08Jan15 and -15F on 31Jan21.

There is only are four record highs in the last 10 years, 46F on 10Jan16 and. 60F on 11Jan20, 53F on 12Jan17, 49F on 30Jan13.

Remember, Ground Hog day. Tradition would indicate a false spring just because a rodent didn’t see its shadow on a given day. This should be an indication that false spring isn’t uncommon.

Edit: High and low source.

Born in March and my dad always talks about nailing huge yellow bellied in the days leading up to my birth.

I was in the first round several years ago and was told that after 10 years, I had the option to keep them for an additional 5. Do they still do this?

Same here. If I turn off my minisplit heat pump, I get 2 days. If I leave it going, I can drain the batteries in less than half a day.

I've has them since late 2018, and they've covered everything so far.

"Climate Change Denier" show us your proof that the climate is changing in a significant way over the last 100 years. Specifically what data have you read and compiled and researched to lead you to this morally superior claim? Or the fact that we are having a warmer than average winter during a la Nina winter. Ofcourse it isn't normal or average but that isn't clear evidence that climate change exists and no reasonable scientist would agree with your claim its literally the exact same thing as when it gets very very cold and people DENY global warming ... same theory reversed so you are the same as who you are against...

I mean, "The Year Without A Summer" is documented in many Vermont history books, including the book "History of Swanton, Vermont".

However, weather anomalies should not be confused with a changing climate, though there was a mini-ice age sometime in the 1800s that might explain the lack of a summer.

Indian Summer ("Indian" is a slur here, meaning liar, as in Indian Giver) refers to a warm spell in late fall. I've lived in Vermont for more than 50 years and "believe" in climate change, as if someone has to believe in something so obvious and proven. That said, the weather in Vermont is highly variable. I remember snowy early 1970s winters and a couple of non-winters in the 1980s. That snowmaking has been a necessary part of ski area operation for decades demonstrates that every winter isn't a postcard perfect Vermont winter.

I'm glad this has been a mild winter (ignoring last weekend) because that has reduced the cost of home heating, which has skyrocketed and is a huge burden for many people. The skiing and outdoor recreation has been pretty good too -- I spent yesterday snowshoeing through 3-4' deep snow on Laraway Mt. It may not look like winter where you are, especially if you're near the lake, but it definitely is in the woods. Enjoy the warm weather this week, who knows what the following week will bring.
