Climate change?

Extreme Heat Breaks More Than 3,000 Records This Week

More than 3,000 temperature records have been shattered in the U.S. this past week, from June 28-July 4, 2012, according to NOAA. The tally of record high temperatures during the time period is 2,253, and the tally of maximum low temperature records is 936......

The previous records were 1911, 1942, 1955 etc. and only by 1 degree difference. What farm animal or such caused the heat back then?

3000 temp records.... not a big deal. Some poor soul thinks the temp only gets high in one place at a time. Two miles down the road it is much cooler.  


When the climate quits changing.... the earth will be dead along with everything on it.

I wonder if that bright ball of fire in the sky has anything to do with it?  Oh...  I almost forgot; the debate is over....

Tough to respond via my handheld.

Temps are measured via many sources, to include hundreds and hundreds of ground reading stations. These stations have compliance standards to ensure accurate readings. Issues such as proximity to mechanical devices, blacktop, homes, etc. are essential. Noncompliance can read to higher readings.  As many as 30% of these are out of compliance. Satellite readings are more accurate and tell a different story.

Recently a University team took temp readings going back many years from hundreds of lakes. No temp increases for many years.

Should we talk my political world? Economists politely call it "rent seeking." Conservative economists call it "public choice." Street lingo "crony capitalism." Prize, upwards of $20 trillion.

Sundowner is not taking this thread seriouly!

I found a dead snail in my garden if that is not a direct example of global warming I require a alternative explaintation.

Rule #14 ?? Common Skuzzy, if my comment was political, then the thread is political.  

Ahh quiet Buzz kill

Behold Earth's killer.

[CAP1]

you do of course realize that "record" since means that it's happened before, right?

[warhed]

If a species can't survive a few degrees increase in temperature, they don't deserve to live on this planet with us.  We need strong, mean, rabid like creatures to rule Earth, so when the Aliens come we can fight them off.

This thread is comedy gold. Some of you don't even know the bare bones of your own cultural history yet you speak with an authoritative tenet. Nor can you distinguish the relevant factors from the incidental. Some of you are even old enough to notice immediately observable differences in living memory, yet you run around like a bunch of see no evil monkeys trying to marginalise this 'view' by giving it a dismissive and minority label.

Of course the climate of this planet is dynamic, the whole thing is a self-balancing, reactive, cyclical system, what those naughty 'warmists' () are talking about with Global Warming is a specific, unequivocal and characteristic aberration within this cycle. But please do continue to go outside and check the climate by licking the tip of your finger and holding it up to the sun.

 

[TheAssi]

Wow.  So many facts.



Perhaps if I could muster more ROFLs my point would reach the skies.  

Of course, I don't want my point to reach the skies if it is going to poke a hole in the atmosphere and sink a Polar bear's ice raft.

[Jappa52]

 Yes, careful Assi. There are apparently only 4 of those furry little guys left.

Luckily Toyota has come up with a zero pollution Prius.  The 'Prius Solution'

There was a breeze today where there was none yesterday. Oh my.
