Where's global warming when you need it?

#1 Unread post by flw »

So far where I live, we've on hit the avg high on 4 of the 14 days so far. I can ride on avg highs in April without winter gear. But not this year.

I want my 10 degree's back!

I also see no evidence of global warming here.

Hey now. It's "global" warming not "localized" warming. I bet the people in the desert water is running out are wishing for the next ice age. :laughing:
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?

We have enough water here to ship containers of it to people who are dying of thirst. It's too bad corruption gets in the way of meeting the needs of the people. :(

If y'all can figure out the mechanism for the trade, I'll happily exchange any degrees Farenheit in excess of 85 from our AZ temperature for a few days rain here and there. :)

What we need is an enormous heat exchanger :laughing:

From what I have gathered, global warming, although it does in fact warm the earth, is only part of the equation. What also happens is even with a few degrees, dramatic changes in weather patterns occur. Therefore you will see more extreme weather and climate variations not found before.

Now that what everyone knows has been stated, my work here is done and somewhere another thread is in need of blatant conclusions, Captain Obvious away!

Funny how global warming just popped up on us this year after being politicized to death. Who knew Earth's climate was tied to election years?

There's a direct correlation to elections, actually. The scientists have the warming mechanism wrong, though. It's not greenhouse gasses that are heating up the planet; it's a result of all the hot air being spewed by politicians during their campagins. 8)
