I have no quarrel with anybody who believes in Global Warming -
nothing I say is going to convince those who believe and place all
others in Apocryphal status.

It is what it is.

No one is seeking your approval or disapproval on this Tom, especially
considering that nothing that is posted here will change your mind........or
anyone else's for that matter.

Like Gene said...........you would have better luck nailing Jello on a wall.

Believe what you want...........it is only important..............to you.
;-)

As usual you missed the point.

It is what it is means that you can't prove anything pro or con - it's
all a matter of faith for those who believe.

Let me repeat - it's faith, not science that drives Global Warming.

Got it now?

WOW What is the paenut gallery going to do about the pending earths
"MAGNETIC FLIP", the tetonic plate reversal SE of Mexico City, Solar
flares, and sun spots, (the actual cause of global temperature
variations). SO many things to control, and so few strings.
Hmmm now where did I put that can of worms? I'm outta here!

How can you argue against global warming when temperatures and rainfalls
over half of the US and in the UK are reaching or surprising record highs?

The point is that the data used to determine whether or not we are
experiencing "record highs" is suspect.

No offence but you have to be constantly numb not to realize that global
warming is happening.

Yes, that would certainly explain the first snow in Buenos Aires since 1918.

Or the record cold temperatures in Tazmania these past few months. In fact,
they're now blaming coral bleaching off of Queensland on the record cold
snap.

The Southern hemisphere is experiencing a colder than usual climate as of
late, but the news fails to focus on that. I wonder why?

The northern hemisphere must be serving as a heat sink for the southern
hemisphere.

Have you been reading about the record cold temps in Tasmania, and the first
snow in Buenos Aires since 1918?

I am not convinced about the human intervention factor but I have to
admit that something is indeed happening
with our climate.

Cyclical? Perhaps.

We need more research.- Hide quoted text -

I think a lot of the focus is starting to converge on the figures
about temp and climate etc, that we are being fed. It is turning out
that much of it is false, maybe even intenionally manipulated. There
is a huge amount of money to be made, a lot of grants to be awarded.
All gone if this science is allowed to be challenged.

All I know is what I see. It has been hot and just recently.....wet.

Global warming? Yes. Man made? Not enough proof.

One has to admit that the carbon footprint of China over recent years is
indeed disturbing and has to have an impact on the weather.- Hide quoted

So your suggesting you "feel" the what point five degrees your weather
may have risen in the last what, 50 years?? I grew up here where I am
now, and personally I can't notice the extra half degree?

And I grew up where I am living... and so did my Dad and his
parents.... and parents.... and parents... way back.

All of the older relatives I have known remarked about how, "it didn't
get as cold as it used to." Their descriptions of how high the snow
got every winter was on the order of 2.5 - 4 feet, based on landmarks
that they remembered covered.... and I have seen the landmarks myself.

My son is 22 and, in his life, has seen enough snow to go sledding
only one year. He has never seen the pipes freeze. He has never seen
an ice storm that makes it nearly impossible to walk or open the car
door. He has never seen minus temperatures. He has never seen the
electricity go off for a week while they put up new lines.

Fifty years ago, all of my winters included some, if not most, of the
above.

If you get past the Al Gore/Jerry Springer version of the theory of
global warming, you will find that it speaks in terms of averages and
expects hotter highs in some places and colder lows in others. It is
this unpredictable CLIMATE CHANGE that is, in part, worrisome.

This is not the time to talk to me about this, anyway..... been
working on the boat today.... making up some cables and moving a
battery..... heat index of 117F.

What am I supposed to believe when I read:
"At 237 PM this afternoon... the temperature at the Raleigh-Durham
Intl Airport reached 104 degrees. This breaks the old record of 99
set in 2001.
101 degrees sets a record maximum at Danville Virginia for todays
date... breaking the old record of 99 in 1987.
99 degrees sets a record maximum at Roanoke Virginia for todays
date... breaking the old record of 97 in 1977.
92 degrees ties the record maximum at Blacksburg Virginia for todays
date set in 1983
a record high temperature of 98 degrees was set at Wilmington today.
This breaks the old record of 97 set in 1979.
A record high temperature of 105 degrees was set at Florence today.
This breaks the old record of 98 set in 1963."
