Here is what I wrote almost a year ago and it explains my view on global warming and climate change.. And it fits this current weather cycle to a "T"..

I don't know why he went into hiding for so long.. He SHOULD have been vigorously defending his position against the big fossil fuel industry and other DENIERS the whole time..(BTW, this statement does not change my feelings and attitude toward Gore and his hypocritical and extravegant life style that results in a huge carbon footprint.. We need a MUCH more honest spokesperson.) re: >>..The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that GLOBAL WARMING is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer GLOBAL temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere — thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States...<< That only makes sense and it he should have ADDED that the warm rains on the Pacific coast and heavy snows on the Atlantic coast would be EXPECTED as the warm, moisture laden air just in from over the WARM Pacific would result in rains in the west and as the air COOLED over the land mass would result in snows on the EAST coast.. All this because the much LARGER mass of water holds the heat so much better than the much smaller land mass and due to the seasonal cooling of land, the warm moisture laden air cools as it crosses the land mass resulting in more and more of the moisture resulting in snow.. A poorly written, rambling paragraph, I know, but I am not writing a thesis on the subject, besides I think you understand what I am trying to get across..:) It is so F'ng simple except to the POOR SH!TS that look out the window for their theories.. But that is typical of so MANY SI posters on so many subjects where SO MANY PEOPLE KNOW SO LITTLE on something but argue SO STRONGLY for such a WRONG POSITION.. I don't know what's causing the majority of the climate change we are seeing as I KNOW from my geologic education it has occurred "naturally" throughout the Earth's history.. And I also KNOW or I am pretty damn sure that human activity has currently ADDED MUCH to that "natural" WARMING... So why ADD MORE to that and keep fighting to ADD more if something can be done to stop the addition.... It's like turning up one's THERMOSTAT in the summer.. It makes no damn sense but then again, so much of what people do makes no damn sense to me anyway.. :( Message 26351843 warming thermostat footnote now: I might add it is so simple to see why colder temperatures along with the moisture laden atmosphere would result in more and more snow over land(non-water) areas the further east one goes, because the atmospheric temperatures would cool so much quicker over land than over large masses of water, which hold heat much better, ie oceans, and therefore would result in more snow rather than rain.... It's that damn FACT of that simple thing once again folks.. The Jet Stream.. Just look out the f'ng window "folkers" and take a look at the "Jetsums" riding the JS.. :)..but (SARCASM)
