This summer does suck, it's early farking july and I'm using a down comforter to not freeze my balls off at night

It was 13°C last night at my place. Or 429°F or whatever for you yanks.

I've had the air conditioner on for one (1) day this year, and last night I was up at 2 a.m. closing all the windows because it was so farking cold outside.

I'm hoping for a nice weather late into Autumn to make up for this crap. The fishing is better then anyways.

I'm very please by this weather. Indiana summers are too hot and humid for my tastes.

It has been great for distance running, granted

But sometimes you just want a nice hot day so you can run to a nice sunning spot and collapse on a beach for a few hours

I'm one of those oblivious types who were shorts regardless if it's hot or cold. Maybe if we all dress like it's a hot summer, we can psychically will it to come?

Send some of that cold my way and I'll send you back the 35C weather I get today. Humidity too if you want it.

oldfarthenry: I'm one of those oblivious types who were shorts regardless if it's hot or cold. Maybe if we all dress like it's a hot summer, we can psychically will it to come?

I am actually enjoying this summer. It finally is NOT too hot. I wear shorts whenever I can - one of my clients, it's almost de riguer (they are Archaeologists). Over 10C out? It's SHORTS weather :)

/Am sitting roasting in another office - wearing pants. Ick.

Yay, it's 15 degrees, let's hit the beach.

Two years in a row? Last summer was was hot as hell around here.

I'll take the 20-25C I'm getting here now over the 30C we had last year.

Saturday is looking like 24C partly cloudy. Perfect golf weather.

It was 116 in Phoenix yesterday. My apartment there is vacant and I'm spending July up here in the White Mountains. Canada can have some of Phoenix's heat if they want it.

Last October, we bought a new house with a pool. Gotdammitsomuch.

It's farking 104 in the shade here.fark you Canada. fark you.

GooberMcFly: Last October, we bought a new house with a pool. Gotdammitsomuch.

I put a solar pool heater system in my pool, and we've been in it every weekend since the first week in March. Go bigger with the solar panels than you think you'll need.

I know some of us in Houston would be willing to trade ;)

We've been having delightful weather here in the NYC area the last 2 weeks, but it sure hasn't been summer like. Temps have been in the mid 50s at night and mid 70s by day (normal is a low in the upper 60s and a high in the mid 80s). The water in our development's pool has yet to warm to little better than frostbite. As we get so few months of really warm weather this is a bit depressing.

I heard on the news last night that after one of the wettest Junes on record we're on pace for one of the coldest Julys on record. At least cold in July is pretty tolerable and it has the added benefit of keeping my electric bill down.

I am loving this summer here in the Northern Tier of PA/Southern Tier of NY. Highs in the 70's lows in the 50's and just enough rain to keep the course in perfect condition.

It is the perfect summer.

Oh, boo farkin' hoo. "It's too cold this summer." "Shut the hell up," I say while enduring 100+ degree afternoons with 1000% humidity and little to no rain.

It's supposed to be 80°F/26°C here today. Last night we matched a record low of 58°F/14°C. It might hit the upper 40s tonight.

This ain't July weather, that's for sure, but it's pretty damned nice.

Northern Minnesota had 35f degrees of AGW last night.
Farking July!

Come to Phoenix if you want summer. We're having a heat wave and there's enough to go around!

And there are still people who are trying to convince us OMG!! GLOBAL WARMING IS HERE!!!

I think I've heard the "global-warming my ass" argument at least 3 or 4 times in the last week from people who I've never heard comment on the issue. Does anyone have a clever, succinct response that I can give them in 10 seconds without having to get into explaining anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid vs measurable etc etc etc?

Bonus points for creativity. I don't care about ideology, as it really doesn't matter in this instance (i.e. I want to be able to use it when it's really hot or really cold).

WHERE IS YOUR SMUG NOW?

or...something.

I can deal with the low heat, it's the rain that's getting seriously annoying.

New pool was only used a few times, and the garden is again for the third year, left to weeds as planting anything is pointless.

My Raspberries are doing okay, but I barely got any strawberries.

I'm even having trouble getting chances to cutting my lawn so to keep the kids off of it.

you yell 'barracuda', and people will be like, 'wha?'... you yell 'shark', and we got a panic on the 4th o' July.

Came for Northern tier no summer butthurt... Leaving satisfied.

/67f for the high today
//Havent used AC yet this year

Vancouver has had great weather this year. A little cool toady (22c) but still quite pleasant.

I've been building a deck for the last four weeks, so I've appreciated it not being scorching hot. Now that it's done, bring on the sun so I can enjoy it.

Normally I'd say something like, "What matters is overall global temperature, not any local variations as averages matter more than anything.".

However, this does make for some interesting questions. What has the global average temp done in the last few years? I know that we were colder last winter and it seems that the trend was keeping up. I also seem to remember something about polar ice caps increasing in size. Toss in this potentially cooler summer and this year may well be lower. Now, one year doesn't make a trend, but it'd be interesting to see what the trend looks like.

Here in CT it's perfect weather. Certainly NOT July weather but perfect. 80 during the day, 50 at night.

I'll comment after I finish my stroll through Central Park on this warm, sunny afternoon...

Abstruse: It's farking 104 in the shade here.fark you Canada. fark you.

Take some Texas heat while you're at it. 110 Fahrenheit is freakin killer. And for you saps that don't know how hot that is since you're in Celcius, it's 43.3 Celcius.

It's mid July and I haven't even put the AC in my window yet. I'm leaving for Buenos Aires in two weeks - it's winter there. I was counting on getting to see a _little_ summer this year before I left. The suck.

Suprisingly, the summer here in Philly has been fantastic thus far. Highs in the 80's, relatively low humidity. June did suck, I think it rained something like 24 out of 30 days...

As it's been 100 degrees for over 2 weeks here in Houston, Canada, you're welcome to my summer. I'll be more than happy to spot you 25 degrees a day.

Yeah the weather has been shiat here (Waterloo, ON)

A few days of muggy heat, and then a bunch of rain, and cooler days. Windy and cloudy...

It feels more like a wet fall or late spring.

Of course now august will be some killer month where he have more record breaking days than ever..... you just wait and see.

Hey, it's a big country. Just because it sucks in central Canada doesn't mean that the weather isn't awesome elsewhere. This is probably the bestest summer I've seen in Vancouver in the 25 years since I moved here.

/Suck it, ROC.

I'm not complaining one little but. My grass is still green, I've run the A/C for a grand total of three days so far, my kids have been using our (heated) pool five days out of seven and I can cycle to work without having to spend 45 minutes cooling off.

Robert1966: You guys do realize that you're in Canada, right? Where it's cold?

Southern Ontario usually gets as hot as anywhere else in the summer. Particularly since most of the really bleeding hot parts of the USA are dry deserts instead of steamy Great Lakes territory.

Normally there's that payback for our long, crappy winter - tropical summer weather combined with the our super-long summer daylight hours.

Dear Canadians,

You are welcome here and would love to have you vacation on the Emerald Coast. Look up the beaches of South Walton County, Florida. The prettiest, nicest beaches on the globe. The sand is the whitest and brighest on Earth. This is where the snowbirds come during the winter. Great food, golf, shopping and fun in a great atmosphere. Come on down!

Russ1642: THIS. The fashion show is on hold.

Agreed. Although I must say my drive to and from work is much safer in cooler weather.

Here in Montreal, we've had torrential downpours for 2 weeks now. I think I can count the nice sunny days on one hand. This farking blows. I'm gonna ask for my money back unless winter starts in February.

Lower Canada (where almost all Canadians live) and the upper U.S. are experiencing a more-south than usual jet stream this year, bringing cool weather from magic land. But if you're too far south to benefit from the fronts the jet stream is creating, your summer is likely as hot as ever.

I'm in Philly, it's been mid-80s for 3 months straight. Lovin' it. By this time of year there's usually 2 days of 95+ with the occasional 100+ a couple times a month.

What? No two week surfing season in BC? Dammit. I was so there.

Now, one year doesn't make a trend, but it'd be interesting to see what the trend looks like.

Wellsir, two things are probably affecting the northern hemisphere. The most immediate, is the almost continuous eruption of one or more volcanoes in the Alaskan volcanic islands, and the rest of the northern ring of fire being unusually active over the last 6 months or so. The larger trend is the Sun, and it's lack of activity sunspotwise, AND it's collapsing magnetic field, which seem to correlate to colder weather, much colder weather, from what we have been able to glean from the fossil record. Much colder, as in here come the glaciers, colder, but the correlation between the collapse of the Sun's magnetosphere and that is still somewhat shaky to say the least. This summer's cooler weather can almost certainly be attributed to the Alaskan volcano activity throwing a large amount of debris into the northern atmosphere, however. I point to Tambora and the "year without a summer" of 1816.

Tax Boy: As it's been 100 degrees for over 2 weeks here in Houston, Canada, you're welcome to my summer. I'll be more than happy to spot you 25 degrees a day.

Same here in the Austin. Although we did have one day last week where it only hit 98 since it pretended like it was going to rain.

It is a bit worse for yall down in Houston though, with the 100000% humidity and all.

Playerslight: ObscureNameHere: Aha! That explains my lack of invites to dinner parties.

No, it's probably still the hygiene issue.

I suck at the grammar.

It's perfect here in the Mojave Desert. Warmer sunny days and absolutely beautiful nights. If this is Global Warming lets keep it.
Do ya hear that Al?

sparrow794: You could ask them if they are able to accurately define global warming.

You're overestimating my willingness to actually converse with these people. I'm trying to blow them off so I don't actually have to talk with them.

I've found it to be plenty warm in Toronto. It's pleasant today and was nice last night. Because of the tiny windows in my apartment and the way my building is shaped, I don't get much of a breeze, so during the summer, it gets stale and sweltering. So I've had the air conditioning in for a while, and it's been on every so often. I'd like to say I can beat it, but with no fresh air in my apartment and a large, west-facing window baking in the afternoon sun, I don't have much of a choice.

There's a point at which temperatures don't feel any hotter than a degree below it. 35C feels the same as 30C. It's just hot. Same thing with cold. -30C feels the same as -50C. It's just cold. Don't know how you southern staters can put up with it without draining the surrounding areas of all its natural resources. Of course, there's something to be said for dry heat. I was in Vegas last summer and it was very hot. But it was a dry heat, so it didn't choke you out.

One thing Toronto hasn't had nearly enough of is rain. Not that we want rain right now with the garbage strike, but we haven't had nearly enough this summer.

Averages schmaverages... Global warming/cooling my hairy, horny feet... I've always worried much more about the new temperature extremes we seem to be hitting all over the Gothdammed place.

Erratic, wide ranges between hot-cold temperature in individual locations = uninhabitable (think "the moon" or "Mars").

\Freely admit to being full of shiat

Yeah, that part does kinda suck. But then again, I work in a mostly-male office and live in an "aesthetically challenged" town, so I'm not missing much.

I hear you, I'm in Hamilton... but I still miss it on my wife.

I would have thought Farker Ghastly would have gotten Steeltown all fabulousized by now. Guess these things take time.

Would you like to borrow some of Texas' summer?

It's pretty durn hot here. And I don't normally biatch about the heat.

hockeyfarker: Hey, it's closer to being the true center of Canada than Toronto is. so it's got that going for it. Plus you're more likely to get your Slurpee roofied

In all honesty I would probably only rather be in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Boston, Chicago, anywhere in Europe, Sweden, Norway...

As far as the slurpees go, this place is so ridden with diabeetus their missing limbs make it too hard for them to run away anyways. Roofies are just a waste of money.

threedingers: BTW, I don't know where you plan to go, but McMaster has an excellent neonatal unit.

That's where I'm headed! I'm a Mac grad so I know the place (feel comfy there), plus that's where my midwife practices.

Can't really complain. We got unseasonable warm weather a month or more early. The snow was gone in March and people were doing their May gardening two months early. Sure beats the year before when I still had 2 feet of snow in April.

I usually take June holidays and got bumped but since it rained quite a bit the first two weeks I feel vindicated. Otherwise, it's been a very nice summer. Warm days, cooler nights, the grass isn't dead. WTF more do you want.

Bored Horde: This summer does suck, it's early farking july and I'm using a down comforter to not freeze my balls off at night

Civchic: threedingers: I'm not complaining one little but. My grass is still green, I've run the A/C for a grand total of three days so far, my kids have been using our (heated) pool five days out of seven and I can cycle to work without having to spend 45 minutes cooling off.

If this summer "sucks" then I guess I like sucky weather.

/am i doing it right?

I think I've heard the "global-warming my ass" argument at least 3 or 4 times in the last week from people who I've never heard comment on the issue. Does anyone have a clever, succinct response that I can give them in 10 seconds without having to get into explaining anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid vs measurable etc etc etc?

Bonus points for creativity. I don't care about ideology, as it really doesn't matter in this instance (i.e. I want to be able to use it when it's really hot or really cold).

Tell them to get their asses down to Texas. I can't wait for this miserable summer to be over. It's global pissed off weather is what it is.

Shostie: Oh, boo farkin' hoo. "It's too cold this summer." "Shut the hell up," I say while enduring 100+ degree afternoons with 1000% humidity and little to no rain.

Lower Canada (where almost all Canadians live) and the upper U.S. are experiencing a more-south than usual jet stream this year, bringing cool weather from magic land.
I'm in Philly, it's been mid-80s for 3 months straight. Lovin' it. By this time of year there's usually 2 days of 95+ with the occasional 100+ a couple times a month.

If Philly weather's anything like western PA's, then here's hoping that these weather patterns can persist for another... four weeks or so.

The advantage of suffering through the summer heat in her third trimester was that Mrs. Threedingers was able to take the kids out for lots of strolls in the fall. Helped her shed the baby weight (although she only gained 30 lbs, if you can believe it) real quick.

Global Cooling is Here

Evidence for Predicting Global Cooling for the Next Three Decades

by Prof. Don J. Easterbrook

CONCLUSIONS

Global warming (i.e, the warming since 1977) is over. The minute increase of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere (0.008%) was not the cause of the warming-it was a continuation of natural cycles that occurred over the past 500 years.

The PDO cool mode has replaced the warm mode in the Pacific Ocean, virtually assuring us of about 30 years of global cooling, perhaps much deeper than the global cooling from about 1945 to 1977. Just how much cooler the global climate will be during this cool cycle is uncertain. Recent solar changes suggest that it could be fairly severe, perhaps more like the 1880 to 1915 cool cycle than the more moderate 1945-1977 cool cycle. A more drastic cooling, similar to that during the Dalton and Maunder minimums, could plunge the Earth into another Little Ice Age, but only time will tell if that is likely. (new window)

wiredmaverick: Toronto doesn't speak for Canada damnit. This is the nicest summer I've seen on Vancouver Island in years.

Exactly, been a nice summer in Vancouver as well, been running my AC like crazy. Fark the East.

Two years of shiatty weather
Two years of no sunspots
Sunspots effect the weather

It really is that simple. The big shiny thing in the sky is picking on the earth

We've had maybe 5 [non consecutive] hot [ie. 25-30] days since May/June. maybe one day of over 30 degrees in 3 months.

It's farking cows isn't it? No, I don't mean butane. I mean people literally farking the cows. Is it the post-coital-man-on-cow emissions? Tell me the truth; I can take it.

Whatever it is, let's tax the living fark out of it!!!!

NYC came about .25" short of hitting an all-time record for Rainfall in the month of June. We had something like 24 of 30 days with rain conditions.

Its mid-july now, and has yet to hit above the mid-80s. weather.com says the highest it will get in the next 10 days is 84. This coming weekend, it wont even get out of the 70s.

My garden is liking it, but places like Coney Island and other seasonal locations are hurting, with business off by as much as 80%. People just dont feel the need to get out this summer.

I like the cold, just let it dry out so I can slap some more paint on my house

Hay Canucks, Ill trade you the cold air and frost warnings for the 95+ degree heat with the 80% humidity any day

Crappy-ass wx in Maine, too. Rain, more rain, and more rain. We've barely hit 80 (maybe twice; most days it struggles to get to the low/mid 70s.

solyhhit: It was great in Winnipeg last year. This year isn't too bad just a little more rain than usual.

On the minus side, WINNIPEG.

/Winnipeg

Like hell it was. July and August was BRUTAL. It's been damn near tolerable this year, and while everyone was biatching about it being too cold in May/June I was loving it.

Then again I don't like anything warmer than 23 C since it's so damn humid here.

Every time I hear on the radio "It's a beautiful 30 degrees outside" I want to punch the dj in the throat.

Cooper420 /Love's when people outside of Ontario hate on a city that they think believes it's the capital of the country, yet they've probably never been.....

I go there a lot. IMO, Torontonians do not beleive they are the center of the country; they think they are the country... even the ones who moved there from the ROC ! it's a peculiar thing to observe.

To those complaining about women dressing for the unseasonable weather: you should come to Montreal. Despite the cold(ish), wet conditions there are still enough women who dress like it's the middle of summer to make it worth your while...

Hiro's Protagonist: If you live in Canada and are complaining about the cold, move to Osoyoos. It's in BC and part of the same desert system as Vegas.

Had a cousin working as GM of a/the golf course there. Scorpions, scorching heat, blazing sun, sand everywhere... it's like Vegas without the fun (and less herpes).

Oh, and i can't wait for the Utility companies to send out their letters about rates going up:



"Dear host sir/madam,


Due to setting the yearly budget for 2009 back in 1987, we did not accurately predict the lack of demand for electricity in Summer 2009 due to nobody using air conditioning. to alleviate the resulting shortfall from revenue, we need to close the budget gap by raising your rates.

Thank you for paying more and using less.

Sincerly,

Playerslight: Morton_toes: Global Climate Change. Say it right.

Aren't those called 'seasons'?

It seems the phraseology of the 90's ie: 'Global Warming' was a bit too limiting to really encompass all of the possibilities of the ways that we (homo-sapiens) could fark with the climate.

By resorting to the phrase 'Global Climate Change', all possible outcomes are covered and there will be no embarassing 'cooling periods' to try to explain away.

The only thing that could really go wrong is if the climate was in perfect stasis, and when and if that happens, we'll all know we are farked anyway.

/am i doing it right?

I think I've heard the "global-warming my ass" argument at least 3 or 4 times in the last week from people who I've never heard comment on the issue. Does anyone have a clever, succinct response that I can give them in 10 seconds without having to get into explaining anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid vs measurable etc etc etc?

Bonus points for creativity. I don't care about ideology, as it really doesn't matter in this instance (i.e. I want to be able to use it when it's really hot or really cold).

Well, since we've been on a cooling trend now for about 8-9 years, not just one year like you make it sound, I still say, "global warming, my arse.".

Man made global warming is the myth made up by the Gore types so they could cash in and get rich off the backs of corporate America, and they packaged it and sold it to you all, hook, line, and sinker.

Climate change has happened since the dawn of time and is proven in the rings of trees, fossils, sediments, etc.

Northern Michigan feels your pain. We had a week of 80's a few weeks back, but mostly it's been in the upper 60's to near 70. I think we're running almost -5F below normal for May/June, but I'm sure by August/Sept we'll probably get screwed.

Hey, the Canucks are right. I just converted the current temperature here to Canadia numbers and it's only 40 degrees. That's freezing!

/Seriously, some guy walking up the sidewalk with me said "Freezing, ain't it?" and almost got a sweaty fist up his face.

I didn't get a winter but for almost literally three days this year, so I'm rather jealous.

/Seriously, I'll trade, we're having mid to high 90s and excessive humidity every farking day

Calgary's been wet but we've also had lots of sun. There have been perfect days for rafting down the Bow with beers in hand.

And since I spent 45 days in the middle east, Calgary rarely gets rain, I love Vancouver's weather, and I've got a fridge full of beer in the office this week.....well, everything is right as the rain.

Download a copy of the 'AGW Skeptics Handbook' from this website:

AGW Skeptics Handbook

It was written by a former believer in Man-made climate change, and is in a format that even the thickest AGW worshipper can understand - well, let's hope it is!

I don't mind it here in Toronto...I just don't like how I have to take carry around a jacket but can't wear it during the day cause it's too warm.

I went to the beaches a couple weeks ago and it was really nice...the weekends have been mostly nice except for the rain in the mornings.

It's nice that it's not too hot but you can still go sit outside and enjoy some drinks.

It's been so nice here (Ohio) this summer.

Not been 'cold', but only 1 or 2 'ZOMG IT'S HOT' days, all the rest are like 80F, low humidity, and sunny.

Not warm enough to care about air conditioning, and it's very pleasant.

I LOVE IT!

How's the snow in the Remarkables? Deep powder in Queenstown? I learned to go boarding there, but it was packed ice in early July that year. Made the flight home rather painful, since I didn't so much learn to go boarding as how to fall off a snowboard. Repeatedly.

"There is a difference between weather and climate."

I live in Calgary and it has been very rainy and sucky. This weekend, I went to Invermere, BC and found where summer has been hiding. Just over the border! Maybe it was just waiting for Stampede to be finished, and it will come visit us now.

/please!

Farking global warming.

Down here in Texas they are trying to convince us that our record heat and lack of average number of hurricanes three years in a row is a result of global warming.

I think it is more accurate to say, Texas is ALWAYS hot and dry in July, and hurricanes run plentiful some years, scarce in others.

Oh yeah: The drought will be over soon as the flood washes our asses away.

That too.

Ive been all over the maritimes the last 4 weeks. Northern New Brunswick is by far the hottest, but with some of the coldest water. Nfld was surprisingly warm, even the lakes were warm enough to swim. PEI has had decent weather especially the past weekend. Havent been swimming in NS yet, but the Northumberland Straight is supposed to have some of the warmest waters upwards from Boston.

I'm failing to see the problem here.

LemSkroob: NYC came about .25" short of hitting an all-time record for Rainfall in the month of June. We had something like 24 of 30 days with rain conditions.

Its mid-july now, and has yet to hit above the mid-80s. weather.com says the highest it will get in the next 10 days is 84. This coming weekend, it wont even get out of the 70s.

My garden is liking it, but places like Coney Island and other seasonal locations are hurting, with business off by as much as 80%. People just dont feel the need to get out this summer.

Wow, it's a Global Warming thread with out the Warming. In Texas it has been over 100 for most of the month, but it still doesn't compair to 1980 when July was 107 the norm and there were over 30 strait days over 100. Now that sucked, this is just weak. Where is my Global Warming?

Nick Nostril: Farking global warming.


It's not Global Warming. This is unseasonal cooling so it becomes "Climate Change." You're still going to get cap and traded even if the planet enters an ice age.

I don't mind that much. It is comfortable and I am sure that the dog days will soon be here in August then we'll all be complaining here in Southern Ontario to as how humid and hot it was.

Now to go mow my lawn without racking up a sweat.

where's the promised Saskatchewan drought? It's been moister than (insert noun here) in Moose Jaw this year.... can I get a dry weekend now?

TheShavingofOccam123: What? No two week surfing season in BC? Dammit. I was so there.

All I have to say is that Canada is way too big of a landmass to really have weather generalizations be valid.

Except for ones related to latitude I suppose.

You might want to explain how the theory of anthropogenic global warming could ever be *falsified*. When people hear both warmer weather and cooler weather being explained by AGW, this naturally generates skepticism. If the theory is correct, it doesn't help that it's being trotted out to explain absolutely every little variation in the climate.

I admit, I far prefer the temperatures this year to sweltering 35C + humidity. Still two months to go...

Summer? We haven't had spring yet.

All you complaining it's too hot in the South? You'd be wearing parkas right now. It was a grand high of 15oC (60oF) in Montreal today and last night was below 10oC (below 50). It was great for moving but now it just plain sucks. We moved into a ground floor place with a backyard we've barely used and a basement that flooded for the first time in 10 years because of the crazy non-stop rain we've been having.

Sucked for our huge Jazz fest too. Couldn't really go for lack of ark building supplies and noseplugs

VimFuego: I wish every summer was like this.

But Algore has promised Global Warming, so you have that going for you.

/What? It's a crock of shiat? Oh.

95% of scientists concur (vehemently, mind you) that global warming works all the time.

when more and more facts stack up against your global government plan, just pull numbers out of your ass.

fact is, there is an increasing backlash of scientists and climatologists debunking "man made climate change" as bad science. Many were coerced into backing it to get grants: if you were studying squirrels, it was easier to get a grant if you studied glowball warmage's effect on them, and came up with the conclusion, yup, glowball warmage is killing teh squirrels. However, the realization that trends are actually COOLING, due to solar activity, and Gore's bullshiat CO2 is having zero effect, and the fact that all scientists who continue with this charade will be exposed as frauds, liars and bad scientists, has led many many (32k just signed a letter denouncing glowbal warmage as junk science. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/05/are_32000_scientists_enough_to.html )

so how does your 95% stack up to that?

the TOP climatologists, who have nothing to fear for speaking out, have been raging about the government push for glowball warmage controls over our entire lives and the fact it's a fraud.

Funny how anecdotal evidence works to PROVE glowball warmage/now climate change, but not the other way around. The polar icecaps are getting THICKER, temps are dropping worldwide for 8 years, so the SMART scientists are dropping Gore's World like a hot potato.

Unfortunately for the alarmists, reality is catching up with their bullshiat.

docweasel

Does the Oregon Petition still have Dr. M. Mouse listed? Or Dr. Hawkeye Pierce?

Also, Carbon Dioxide as a greenhouse gas has been empirically known for over 150 years. Hell, your entire spiel is non-science based denialist talking points that have been shown to be false numerous times. It's gotten so bad that New Scientist put together an article that links ACTUAL science to explain just how wrong you are. (new window)

If actual science is not enough to explain how incorrect you are, try the climate change pages at NOAA.gov, NASA.gov, and royalsociety.org. In addition, IPCC.ch and realclimate.org have a lot of the same information simplified, with realclimate being run by actual published climatologists that attempt to explain new occurances on the subject in more simplistic terms.

I wonder if this is going to be like smoking, with people denying the effect 20 or 30 years after the state of research reached the nigh on impossible to disprove. Which the science on this particular subject reached about 4 years ago.

Playerslight: Does anyone have a clever, succinct response that I can give them in 10 seconds without having to get into explaining anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid vs measurable etc etc etc?

how about this: when it is unseasonably warm and you say that is because of global warming, can you explain the anecdotal vs theoretical vs statistically valid etc etc to your self?
