Re: The Global Warming thread.
I never have, and do not now, understand irrational or stupid; I recognize it as something similar to an already dead animal in the road that's in such a position that unless you make an effort to avoid it, one of your tires will hit it again. Thanks.

I just hope it gets warmer here faster in the next few years so I don't have to move south in a few years. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)

Re: The Global Warming thread.
Regardless which side of politics someone ascribes to, to say that GW isn't occurring is redundant.

NASA: We May Be On the Verge of a “Mini-Maunder” Event
We noted in 2011:
This week, scientists from the US Solar Observatory and the US Air Force Research Laboratory have discovered – to their great surprise – that the sun’s activity is declining, and that we might experience the lowest solar output we’ve seen since 1645-1715. The Register describes it in dramatic tones:
What may be the science story of the century is breaking this evening.
Scientists who are convinced that global warming is a serious threat to our planet say that such a reduced solar output would simply buy us more time … delaying the warming trend, but not stopping or reversing it.
On the other hand, scientists who are skeptical about global warming say that the threat is a new mini ice age. (Remember that scientists have been convinced in the past that we would have a new ice age, and even considered pouring soot over the arctic in the 1970s to help melt the ice – in order to prevent another ice age. Obama’s top science advisor was one of those warning of a new ice age in the 1970s. And see this.)

Nuts, that was short lived ... after many nights with the lows in the upper 50s, it's now 39 degrees with a high today of 65 as opposed to the 80s over the past week and a half.Vrede wrote:Mid-Jan., windows wide open.
No windows open today ... then, again, as you mentioned, it is mid-January.

Possibility of snow this Friday. Global warming has once again been disproven.

Just a typical January night in Ocala, FL, right? ![Image](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-basic/unsure.gif)
72 degrees at 1:48 AM (indeed, there are a few changes a comin' but, thankfully, they'll be short-lived):

(to be fair, my own outdoor thermometer is reading 70 degrees at the moment)

Re: The Global Warming thread.
Interestingly, for the first time in the 13 years I've lived in my Ocala home, the Brugmansia tree (Angel Trumpet) is flowering in January. Usually, it's dead to the roots at this time of year only to grow back over the spring and summer - the fragrance is wonderful! ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon/smile.gif)

Climate Change Is the Biggest Threat in the Pacific, Says Top U.S. Admiral
No doubt the neocons will dismiss the admiral as a "liberal."To Locklear, the consequences of a warming planet are likely to “cripple the security environment, probably more likely than the other scenarios we all often talk about.”
“You have the real potential here in the not-too-distant future of nations displaced by rising sea level,” Locklear told Danger Room pal Bryan Bender of the Boston Globe over the weekend. “Certainly weather patterns are more severe than they have been in the past. We are on super typhoon 27 or 28 this year in the Western Pacific. The average is about 17.”

Hopefully tornadoes are the winds of change that will wipe out the proliferation of you-know-what.

Re: The Global Warming thread.
That video would be funny if it weren't so redundant; but then again I always thought that naming hurricanes was silly too; especially when political correctness kicked in and they started naming them male names in addition to former all female names.
(yeah, I know the joke about hericanes and himacanes!)
I think a numbering system would be better suited; numbered in the year of occurrence.....f'r instance first hurricane would be A2013, 2nd would be
B2013, on to Z2013 if necessary, and if needed beyond that, AA2013 and so on. They're gonna run outta names some day!

Re: The Global Warming thread.
I WOULD show you a chart detailing how many professional economists call bullshit on the federal reserve bank. But there are zero.
The fed is still bullshit. Your dubious appeal to authority is a logical fallacy - and an ethical one, as well, since it willfully uses falsified numbers as evidence.
Yes - falsified. The climate-gate emails very starkly demonstrat bullying, bribing, and career-threatening. The emails demonstrate closing those peer reviewed journals to anyone not toeing the party line. Your utter lack of olfactory virtue in no way makes algore's bullshit pass a genuine, nonpartisan smell test.
Meanwhile, the world's oceans are turning into sewers as progressives focus on trying to bully people into agreeing to a shibboleth for which you have no solution. Even if we granted the corpulent gourmand's thoroughly debunked theses, the silly demands that your religion requires are both extreme AND ineffective.
Tell me, how would making pollution credits a COMMODITY, traded in by a privileged few at a profit in the billions, and designed to move the pollution from here to there at a price rather than reducing it - how is this obvious three-card-monte con-game going to save Gaia?
And here is the saddest part of all this school girl chatter about global warming (or whatev):
If it IS effective in reducing pollution, it will be because it priced industry out of the range of third worlders - assuring that the third world REMAINS America's whore house and resource center, shortening and brutalizing the lives of brown and black folks living south and east of here. Isn't it strange how the thing you have been trained to call for perfectly dovetails with your masters' global agenda?
What if there were an "emergency," and no one responded?
