And when it gets too hot, we can cool off with a little nuclear winter.

Same goes for South Dakota!

From Accuweather.com:

"The storm blasted the northern High Plains with blizzard conditions Thursday into Friday. An area near Harding, S.D., topped the storm's snowfall total list with 4 feet. The 11.0 inches of snow Rapid City, S.D., received alone on Friday set a daily snowfall record for not only the day, but also the month."

Holy fark! Four feet!

I'm in Rapid City and I'm getting a kick...

No really, I'm in Rapid City. We get a big snow storm in the spring most years; this one just brought more moisture than normal.

Let me just say the global warming is a crock of ... oh, forget it, it's a balmy 75 degrees here, I'm sitting in my sandals and shorts a block from the beach sipping a Diet Peach Snapple, and it's too nice to get involved in a flamewar. Sorry about your crappy weather, Craigmont ID. Move to San Diego.

Population: 556. Elevation: 3119 ft. (US ave.: 1058 ft.) Funny crude should ask what the bathrooms are like. Ave. house price: $115,000. Watershed quality index: 60. Most of the houses for sale in the area have 2 bathrooms. The one for sale in Culdesac, Idaho is $19,900 and has no bathroom. This thread was worthwhile just to learn there IS a Culdesac, ID. Thank you, Subby.

well 30 degree is is pi / 6, and 45 degree is pi / 4, so it would probably be like pi / 5

Which means, necessarily, that when you refer to it that way, any time the climate doesn't remain absolutely still, it's "proof."

The headline made me sort of laugh a bit. I'm Canadian, and currently in Mississippi. Having to to do rough conversations from kilometers and whatnot to miles has been a sort of fun experience.

To top thqt, I've been biatching about the lack of warm spring weather back home for about a month, saying "where's my global warming, biatches?"

Too tired, must go to work on nightshift now.

"Global Warming" was not marketable, because it is rubbish. So now it is being repackaged as "Climate Change". Same as "Creation Science" has to be marketed as "Intelligent Design".

It's ironic you should make that comparison. Given that Global warming has as much scientific backing as evolution and those arguing against it are about as smart as creationists.

Yeah, generally when he shows up all the deniers tend to scurry away like cockroaches when they get called on their bullshiat.

It's probably more important to see what's going on worldwide, vs. homing in on a section of Idaho.

Doesn't look like NOAA has the global climate update for April done yet. So we'll go back to March, the last month with full data available.

"The global surface (land and ocean surface) temperature was the 2nd warmest on record for March in the 129-year record, 1.28° F (0.71° C) above the 20th century mean of 54.9° F (12.7° C). The warmest March on record (+1.33° F/0.74° C) occurred in 2002.

The global land surface temperature was the warmest on record for March, 3.3° F (1.8° C) above the 20th century mean of 40.8° F (5.0° C). Temperatures more than 8° F above average covered much of the Asian continent. Two months after the greatest January snow cover extent on record on the Eurasian continent, the unusually warm temperatures led to rapid snow melt, and March snow cover extent on the Eurasian continent was the lowest on record.

Although the ocean surface average was only the 13th warmest on record, as the cooling influence of La Niña in the tropical Pacific continued, much warmer than average conditions across large parts of Eurasia helped push the global average to a near record high for March.

I don't ignore the evidence, I just know that it is conjecture with nothing to substantiate it.

I've pointed out several times the basic flaws in the global warming model, yet not one global warmer has provided a reasonable explanation. Why is that?? Mostly because you cannot explain it.

The key phrase is.. "on record". These guys only have 129 years of data vs millions of years of climate history to build a model upon and that just doesn't match up as being viable.

1) Actual scientists publishing data disagree with you.

2) Scientists have been referring to this phenomenon as "climate change" since at least the 1970s. (Here is a 1979 paper by Carl Sagan and colleagues using the term.) "Global Warming" is more of a media term. No one has ever predicted that the planet's temperature would increase uniformly across the entire surface-- when you add nonuniform energy into a system, you expect a more complicated response.

Forest foundation study finds wildfires burden climate change efforts

A study released March 12 of four large California wildfires shows they collectively will put an estimated 38 million tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere through fire and subsequent decay of dead trees. Together emissions from fire and decay undo much of the progress California is making to fight global warming. The estimated 38 million tons of greenhouse gases is the equivalent of emissions from seven million cars - for one year. Nearly 10 million tons of harmful greenhouse gases were emitted from the fires themselves, with an estimated 28 million additional tons of carbon dioxide emitted from decay, mostly in the next 50 years.
