Global Warming

[me]

  I know, I know, we can wait until the cows come home, farting all along the way before you change your mind,      

You can always give up eating beef and eat grass.   

[The Troll]

  Yup, then we all could be farting all the way home.  All of us Billions could be farting.  Yup.   

[Exterminator]

Seems to me like he done his research.   You have an opinion and you're not a climatologist so why can't he have an opinion?

He wrote his opinion 12 years ago; every single point he attempts to make has since been disproven.

This sentence is such a gem I had to quote it twice.

"But since at least 1988, climate scientists have warned that climate change would bring, in general, increased heat waves, more droughts, more sudden downpours, more widespread wildfires and worsening storms. In the United States, those extremes are happening here and now.

So far this year, more than 2.1 million acres have burned in wildfires, more than 113 million people in the U.S. were in areas under extreme heat advisories last Friday, two-thirds of the country is experiencing drought, and earlier in June, deluges flooded Minnesota and Florida.

'This is what global warming looks like at the regional or personal level,' said Jonathan Overpeck, professor of geosciences and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona. 'The extra heat increases the odds of worse heat waves, droughts, storms and wildfire. This is certainly what I and many other climate scientists have been warning about.'

Go back to sleep, sheeple.

I noticed you left out part of this article....

These are the kinds of extremes climate scientists have predicted will come with climate change, although it's far too early to say that is the cause. Nor will they say global warming is the reason for all the heat records.
Scientifically linking individual weather events to climate change takes intensive study, complicated mathematics, computer models and lots of time. Sometimes it isn't caused by global warming. Weather is always variable; freak things happen.

So what's your point?  That they are not yet prepared to emphatically say that yes, these extremes are being caused by global warming?  They will...eventually...when it's too late to change the course of events.  You ilk's denial of what you can see occurring right before your eyes is astounding.

so you are convinced, soley, that the weather we are experiencing is a direct result of man?
If we had done something different 30 years ago, we would be having wonderful weather today?

Is that the overall jest you are implicating?

It's gist and yes.  If you don't believe that people can have a dramatic impact on the climate in a short period of time, you need to educate yourself on the dust bowl of the 30's.

Temps forecasted for the area are in the triple digits starting Thursday and running through the holiday weekend.

Welcome to hell. . .

That's pretty brutal.

Was the last time it happened too.  Just glad I have c/a this time.

I didn't have c/a last time it was like this for an extended period of time so I had to deal with the heat with fans.

  Are you saying, you didn't have an a/c which means air conditioner.  I just don't get c/a.  What is a c/a are you  talking about central air condition. C/A/C.
