that's right I called you a MEANIE. GO CRY NOW

Guy, guys, guys. Calm down. I think we can all agree that griffer sucks :P

Summer, it turns you up-side down...

Morton_toes: 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.

Has something besides water started to fall from the sky as precipitation? No? Then nothing's really "changed" except for the angle of the whaaargarble.

solyhhit: Guy, guys, guys. Calm down. I think we can all agree that griffer sucks :P

hockeyfarker: Chris Crocker is way old and busted. you should use that other creepy looking German dude for your weirdness. You know the one I mean.

If you'll excuse me, I have a lunch "date" with Becky.

Screw you both, maple apologists! You wish you were real Americans, like me!

This isn't heaven...this sucks

The horse you rode in on: This isn't heaven...this sucks

Damn...how about this

This isn't heaven...this sucks

/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!

/First time in like 6 years it hasn't been insanely warm.

briang77: It's been hot and sunny here in Newfoundland!

Bastard!
Wishes he was home.

So glad I moved to Tennessee last winter, I've been out on the lake in 30^oC sun every week since early June. If you can put up with Southerners, the south is the place to be!

Canada sounds like the greatest place ever:
- Dark and cold 8 months out of the year
- Barely warm enough to wear shorts the rest of the year
- Free health care
- Full nude strippers
- french fries with gravy and cheese on them

I wish I could convince my wife to move there, but she's one of those freaks who prefers temperatures above freezing.

minus 10 C here, South Island of New Zealand, positively tropical to what Canadians should be used to.

I chucked a bit when I was in Christchurch, and they were advertising the Antarctic Museum (I think) with a wind tunnel that drops to -18C !!!!!

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.

Hebalo Yes it's at the International Airport in Chch, been there and done that and it was farking freezing, though the kids loved it, snow in January NZ (outside temp 35C)awesome. love NZ.

No 'Cool Summer' by Bananarama yet, or did I miss it?

FARK!, it's pouring again. 4th shower today.

//FTS

Barnstormer It's a bumper season for skiing down here this year, lots of Aussies and Americans on the piste, snow at the Remarkables and Queenstown (Coronet Peak) very good. For ice skiing you must try Ohau, sheet ice at 40 degree angle need sharp edges. All good fun until someone loses an eye or a leg but hey that's the risk you take I guess. I love to ski at Ohau, prounced "Oh How"

I think it's funny that this is basically a 280 post thread discussing the weather in our respective locations.

It's still hot in TX.

"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.

Canadians. The weather here is so constantly farked up that it's worth chatting about.

Guess you were in the atlantic provinces then, not just the maritimes.

It's the global warmin thats a causin alla these problems .

There were pictures of the earth and other celestial bodies from the 1200s, rotating the sun.

When are you going to become unpoor

DasRaven: At least my new solar system is driving A/C costs down.

Our 7kW system should be in by the end of the month. If the sun's gonna heat the house, it can damn well cool it off, too. Lazy, shiftless photons have been getting a free ride for too long. Get a job, photons!

Michaud farms in Bouctouche, New Brunswick...Neat to see the local guy on there.

/Serious veggies at that farm

The days have been beautiful and mostly sunny
not so hot that you're burning your ass off
but pretty damn nice like today

and the nights pleasantly cool so i don't need the A/C.


SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

I'm heading up to Manitoulin Island at the end of this week. The forecast shows high's in the mid 70's and lows in the low 60's.

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.

You're going to blame the WEATHER on that?

Really?

REALLY?

-_-

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.
