Gotta agree with you. In my town, the council is bitching because
they are paying too much for road salt. The last series of winters
have been so wicked, that all cities are buying lots of salt, and the
supplies are running slow, and the prices are going up.
I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
That may be. Local disturbances are all over the place. Statistical
data points can be all over the place, it is the long term trends that
are of significance. The usual attack on these types of reports is to
cite the difference between "weather" and "climate. My sister, living
in Newfoundland, has been griping that it is too damn warm up there.
And has been for most of the last few years.
If you were to look at the site of the researchers cited in Wilbur's
post you will find that they are concerned about the effects of GW.
As I said, my review has led to the conclusion that the arctic ice sheet
is BOTH losing surface area and thinning. The VAST majority of
information sources lead in one direction, Global Warming. Even
Wilbur's cited experts.
