It's always summer around here.   It's just hotter during the real summer -- like NOW.  :yes:

Every major oil company acknowledges the reality of climate change.  Apparently only the mentally challenged don't get it.
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.

Weather

Definition: Describes the atmospheric conditions at a specific place at a specific point in time.

Time frame: Short term: Minutes, hours, days, or weeks

Determined by: Real-time measurements of atmospheric pressure, temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity, precipitation, could cover, and other variables

Study:  Meteorology

Climate

Definition: Describes the average conditions expected at a specific place at a given time.

Time frame: Long term: Months, years, decades, or longer

Determined by: Aggregating weather statistics over periods of 30 years ("climate normals").

Study: Climatology



Further reading for the uninformed who are constantly failing to grasp the difference:

60's this week...we have had a beautiful, old fashion, Hoosier spring.

Still can't quite grasp the difference between weather and climate; huh?   :rolleyes:

Prolly as much that as Hank's trolling.  He was specifically trying to goad a response.  Now he'll deny it.

By pointing out the changes in the weather due to cycles you are being convenienced that the climate is changing and you're all sucking it up like crazy.

Gravity is real where as the whole global warming thing is only theory and opinion based on figures being entered into a computer which has no means of adjusting for variables and does not understand weather patterns. Go watch Gore's movie again and tell me how many of the things he said should have happened by now actually have.

Prove it.

Quote...where as the whole global warming thing is only theory and opinion based on figures being entered into a computer which has no means of adjusting for variables and does not understand weather patterns.

Actually, they do so faster and with far more accuracy than people ever could.  Empirical data has reinforced the decades old computer models of climate change albeit those models never predicted the speed with which it is happening.

What would it take, exactly, for you to come to understand that global warming is fact, not theory and opinion?

That's not to mention the ever increasing amount of historical climate information from ice core samples and tree rings.

She, Hank, and the RW in general acts like it all guess work instead of analyzing actual data.
