"Still think the weather isn't changing?......"

But it is particularly cool here on the west coast. Funny how you draw steadfast conclusions on such a small amount of info. By the way, the weather changes all the time, and has since the beginning of time (in case you didn't know that).

I don't know about elsewhere, but in Baltimore, 101 degree temperatures are not uncommon in August, nor are heat related deaths, primarily among the elderly. But, more importantly, in this area the average for the summer is so far abnormally low.......

On July 22, 1926 New York's record high temperature, 108 °F (42 °C), was recorded at Troy in east-central New York .

Now, please explain to us unenlightened slobs, how it is that all this global warming that happened in the last decade (or two) affected it back then.

Yeah, and all the record lows set in the Midwest and Florida over the past two winters were another result of weather chaning. I'm darn glad it doesn't stay the same. Heck, it even snowed in southern Texas this last winter.

The weather changes constantly. The scientific debate and all the demagoguery is about the climate.

Duluth MN. on average has 2 90' days per summer. This year they've had 5. Big deal.

It sits on the shores of Lake Superior which has an average temperature of 35' so it's almost always cool there. Consequently no one there has air conditioning.

Yes I think the weather is changing. It's been in a warming trend since the last ice age. Weather isn't static. WTF is your point or is it just more of your irrational, incoherent, rabble rousing.

I understand that your a Dr. with a Mensa IQ and a legend in your own mind. What I don't understand is how a person of such superior intelligence can sound like such a moron all of the time dealing in emotional sound bites instead of facts.

I'm off to the lake to fish, drink beer and ponder this dramatic shift in weather. 2 days ago it was in the 90's with 90+ humidity and today it is only 78 with no humidity. I think the next ice age has already started.
