Speakeasy forum: Global Warming is now NOT Global Warming?

almost as much fun trying to explain it away as they were in screaming about it last year.

You're backing up what I said, but seemingly not realizing it. That's why I had a good laugh over it.

disappeared because cavemen learned how to build a fire?

go swimming in a septic pool, but that's not stopped me from pooping.

I hope you stay out of the Gene pool also.

Both of these conditions often relate to El Nino/La Nina conditions in the ocean currents off Chile and to movements in the Jet Stream. This year the Jet Stream stayed where it belongs, across Canada, in El Nino years it gets sucked south into a u-shape over the US. You'd know that if you had paid attention to fire conditions in California, or weather reports generally, though I don't remember El Nino being talked about in US weather reports in the 70's and I left in 1980. Maybe Canadian news is just more thorough about the weather, as it is in so many things.

Global warming, as the name suggests, James, is a Global phenomenon which isn't determined by a single Tornado season in the United States. It is, surprisingly, a Global thing. You can have lots of Arctic and Antarctic melting without the mainland of the US noticing much. It is certainly clear this past year that melting in both the Arctic and Antarctic has been progressing at faster rates than those predicted even by Global warming enthusiasts. It has also been noted that sea levels have risen measurably in the last 5 years.

Now just because it hasn't invaded your home, James, isn't a reason to say it doesn't exist. And I would have thought that Sandy (an historically high letter value for Tropical Storms though not a record) would have given you a hint as to what was actually happening, however "there is none so blind as he who has eyes, but will not see."

isn't sufficient data from which to draw any conclusions. That essentially is what you seemed to be trying to do, to invalidate the concept of Global Warming by using this past year's Tornado rates. At least that's how I understood it.

When I do agree with you, I generally tell you. On this question as on so many, we will have to agree to disagree. I will say that I find your leaps of "logic", both here and elsewhere, impossible to follow..

I'll be planting palm trees in Maryland and be happy as can be about that.

Did you take into consideration that all the people that NOW have palm trees in the South will be moving North To Maryland to escape the extreme heat?

Perhaps by then humans will have figured out a way to keep comfortable while outside......

Of course, all of us on the planet now will be Pushing Up Daisies and NOT Planting Palm Trees.

Are you saying Mankind has NO affect on the planet?

Twisted.........But a sense of humour. I like twisted
