I'm supposed to meet a guy to play golf in about an hour. The temp
outside, now, is 27F. Luckily, the wind is only about 15mph.

I'm secretly hoping he'll call to cancel. Damn if I'll cave first!

And what does that have to do with global warming? I asked in a thread
earlier when the unscientific right will say that global warming isn't
happening because an arctic front has moved south. I think I have my
answer!

Do you think he might be commenting on the weather rather than the climate?

It's like asking somebody to prove the Moon isn't made of green cheese
because you haven't been there. :)

Not really. You are the only one using the term "global warming". "Climate
change" does not necessarily equate to global warming. The high today in my
location is 45 and clear, relative humidity 48%. Yesterday it was 54 and
cloudy, relative humidity 68%. That's climate change.

Not really. You are not considering the time factor. Climate generally
refers to long term weather. Short term weather, is just that, weather.

Your point is well taken, and thanks for correcting me. The term is neutral,
I.e., not heating or cooling.

Now, what about correcting loogy?
