WEATHER INSTABILITY

I guess the real concern is not global warming or cooling as our meger 300 years of global record weather keeping is hardly significant in planetary time frames but the crux is whether human activity is responsible to some degree to the increased weather instability of the last 50 years as witnessed by any one 40 or older, and if so how and why and what might be done about it.
I come from Alberta even which has a widely varied weather norm and I can attest that it has gotten even more unstable than the wild norm. Having experienced two tornados, two once in 200 year floods and fluctuations of about 40 or more degrees temp within less than a day and a recent province wide blizzard as well as the usual chinooks.

So I would suggest that something is causing the increased weather instability and I suppose it is right or proper to question whether it is global human activity as a possible source which is about the only thing which we may have a slight possibility of altering.

But then one might ask
"What constitutes 'weather instability'?

Is it a 1 year trend of instability
or a 10 year trend
or a 100 year trend
or a 1,000 year trend
or a 10,000 year trend?

and to who thus would whatever length constitute
an unstability to.

To a fruit fly a 1 year trend would be devastating
and to a gold fish maybe a ten year trend
and to a dog a 100 year trend
and to humans ? well a 100 or 1000 year trend or not?

You see it is somewhat relative even in these terms.

I suppose a ten year trend though would be significant
if it effected the agrospheres crop production capacity enough so
that many people would be with out food and die.

So well then lets split the dif and say
a "clear 20 year trend" more or less of weather instability
would be significant to the humans of the planet
in that it would have a definate effect on crop production.

You could look at it, starting at the point where slavery was abolished on a world wide scale. At that point man invested in creating machines to do the work. I still don't think it was the output of CO2, but more about cutting down forests world wide, that lowered the ability to absorb the CO2 output. They got comfy way back when and really didnt need to anything to advance other tech, till they found out that time was short in the cosmic scale, and had to totaly industrialize to catch up, so to me its all coincidental, sure man probably has helped in the warming, but its coinciding with a normal cycle, maybe on purpose too. Some new evidence that the core is heating is the Methane thats comming to the surface thru the ice is core related heat. And then what about all the heat from nuke tests over the years?

Yes but I think I've got the kicker

Weather Instability, Global Warming/Cooling, Global Crop Prod.

Eureka
thats it
the telltale sign is global crop production

because whenever global crop production or capacity
is effected then you know you've got a "big" problem

so has it?

Well we can not feed everyone
and certainly not to a North American Standard

and then there's the fresh water aspect and issue too...

so is the weather or has the weather been effecting
the crops cause thats where the rubber meets the road,
or is that a emerging concern?

Well prices keep going up
true
and quality is going down

and quantity ?

Is the crop quantity coming under duress
in a trend fashion?

Is anyone even studying this aspect?
