  I got an idea!   :idea3:  All people who doesn't believe there could be global warming helped along by people.  Let's let them stay out side and live and sleep in a tent until the hot spell is over.   Hee, hee, hee,   :biggrin:

TENTS have been renamed - they are now "oven bags". . . .  :biggrin:

"Normal" would include rain and a lot of it. . . which isn't arriving anytime soon. . .

In any case, it will be a short lived respite in my opinion. Very short lived. . .

And for the record Indiana averages 4.4 inches of rainfall in July; 3 tenths more than in June. . .

...but feel free to make up whatever you need to support your denial of the obvious.

I was at lunch with a friend yesterday who said that one of his professors at Wabash in the late 80's told his class that by 2030 it would be too hot in Indiana to grow corn.  Looks like his prediction is coming to fruition albeit a little early.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

That right there illustrates a good point.  One of the chief reasons people deny global warming, and try to thwart efforts to stave it off, is because they think regulations will adversely affect the economy.  I dare say none of them have considered the economic catastrophe that awaits as a result of inaction. 

But something as simple as corn doesn't really matter does it?   </sarcasm>

And here's a prime example of just what I'm talking about.  Historical trends are fine, but these dumb ass Republicans in the legislature directed the resource commission to only consider data prior to the year 2000.  The problem with that is that 9 of 10 hottest summers on record in NC have occurred since the year 2000.  But that didn't let it stop them.  Stupid scientists and their fake science.  :roll eyes:


(Reuters) - Lawmakers in North Carolina, which has a long Atlantic Ocean coastline and vast areas of low-lying land, voted on Tuesday to ignore studies predicting a rapid rise in sea level due to climate change and postpone planning for the consequences.

Opponents of the measure said it was a case of legislators "putting our heads in the sand" to avoid acknowledging the possible effects of global warming.

Backed by real estate developers, the Republican-led General Assembly passed a law requiring that projected rates of sea level rise be calculated on historical trends and not include accelerated rates of increase.
