Really?
lol, classic way of exaggerating results. I agree that overall there seem to be a rising trend. HOWEVER, you cannot compare a 75 year mean with a following 30 and 9 year mean. I bet that the years between the bins were carefully chosen to present the clearest rise.

I agree, it would have been better if they had used 10 year bins for the means, since the method they chose does lead to your valid point.

However, there is an obvious positive trend over the timeframe. Furthermore, I find such data infinitely preferable to the anecdotal "evidence" of air-conditioning usage and heating bills over the last few years.

Maybe you are confusing me with somebody else?  I have been AKH or AKHoopy of the Arabian Knights since 2001.

I've never really been away from the arenas, apart from the odd break of a month or two now and then.  I have refrained from posting on the BBS for some time now.

So, now burgers and stakes are to blame for global warming:

Soon we will come to the conclusion that hunting the whales, bears and buffalo to extinction is the way to save the planet.

I saw an article months ago calling dogs carbon polluters.  :rofl  Of course, cats were perfectly ok to the eunuchs.
Today I saw a piece written about "Green Sex".   :rolleyes:   

How soon until the Greenies recommend breathing out of only one nostril?

Some "green" stuff is....too green.
You will find out quickly that these are mostly if not completely very much urban people with very little rural life behind. The wording of "practical application" may also be missing by miles.
Anyway, to put up a bait for the other camp, I must say that my country is now unvolunterely contributing to global cooling via a volcanic eruption. More is due.....
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
