Looks like it but I think it is sunny and 60F in Siberia. Friggin'
winter won't go away. ;-(

Only a complete imbicile would acertain that because of a late season
snow storm, global warming doesn't exist.

Sorry to see you snowed in. I am cognizant that Easter is undoubtedly
a very important day at your house, and you probably aren't used to
adapting your egg hunts and other celebrations to a snow storm.

Local weather disruptions are a symptom of larger climate changes. For
a relatively last few seconds of geologic time (IOW, most of recorded
human history) we have relied on a circulation of air and water
between the tropics and the poles to generate the winds and currents
that influence weather. This circulation has resulted from the
difference in temperatures at the poles vs. the tropics.

Now that the polar ice cap is so incredibly diminished, the
relationship between the temperatures is changing. "Weird
weather" (even if it's locally colder) can be a sign of climate
shift. You won't catch me out on some limb claiming that it's all the
fault of mankind, but just because you've got snow in Ohio 1/4 of the
way through April doesn't mean that there's no global warming.

If this problem proves to be as serious as some predict, we are all at
risk of being regulated right out of our boats, cars, RV's, etc.
That's why I advocate keeping an open mind and being prepared to take
some small steps now if that means we won't have to take drastic steps
in the future.

The subject heading was meant to be a joke Chuck. Jeesh.

If the scientific and other communities of alarmists who focus on man made
global warming influences are correct, they also agree on something else
that isn't talked about much.

It's too late, even according to them. Whatever bad things that are
predicted to happen are going to happen regardless of how much or quickly
mankind changes their habits.

Which kinda makes you wonder how much influence mankind had on it in the
first place.

Here's the thing about global warming.

There is no such thing as mean global temperature - any such term is
meaningless because of the temperature extremes from
climate-to-climate and natural cycles of heating and cooling. Not to
mention night and day.

From what I've read, the method used is to take the data sets, add
them together then divide by the number of data sets used. While that
is a valid way to gather an "average", it doesn't account for
variations in climate. And as far as I know, and I could be wrong,
that is how the "average" is developed and that doesn't prove
anything.

The general average method does not account for climate. If you take
a climate that has a night time temperature of 10 and daytime of 40
that averages to 25.

If the night time and day time temperatures are 25, the average is
still 25. It's totally meaningless because the climates are different.
You can only evaluate change in context of it's environment.

In my opinion, I think that the most cynical aspect of the whole
Church of Global Warming, Al Gore Synod is that they've take one
problem, pollution (which is real and much more of a threat in my
opinion) and cross-pollinated it to Global Warming.

I'm much more worrid about pollution than I am about Glocal Warming.
One is real, one is a myth.
