???????????????????????????????

Just a little tidbit of course.
 
I saw snow in Idaho Falls, Idaho on July 4th, somewhere around the early 80's, certainly between 77 and 85 which are the years I lived there.

I saw the fossils of dinosaurs who were flash-frozen with food in their mouths.

I'm not going to sweat a couple degrees over thousands of years.

How old are you?:2razz:

I was so pissed when the Ice Age hit....I had a thriving raptor egg farm...have you ever had raptor egg? You're missing out. Chicken eggs...pft...chickens can't hold a candle to the rich yet lite flavor of the raptor.

Omelets and pastries are only footnote...ever try raptor Balute? OMG just sprinkle on some hot sauce I could live on it!

They don't make very good pets, though...the children go missing....
 
What's to debate or discuss about this?
 
Here in Michigan they are predicting the coolest summer in years, which I am not complaining about.

Damn I wish that would happen in Texas

We had the coolest summer of my life last year (Missouri). It reminded me of Flagstaff AZ summers. I loved it. I wish we could have a repeat.

Any single anomalous event--heat- or cold-related--is not necessarily an indication of climate change. The synoptic pattern may have had something to do with the negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation. In the past, such regimes have seen unseasonable late spring cold in the Pacific Northwest across to the Northern Plains.

It's June...so it must be snowing: From sweltering to shivering in just a week, it could only happen in the great British summer | Mail Online

By the way, is a discussion of weather not allowed in the Environment & Climate forum???
 

Funny thing is, this particular forum has a lot of these "anomalies" in it, yet we're told none of them matter.
 
and there is a new ICE AGE movie coming out this summer.....

we are all doomed.....:shock:

Weather does not equal climate. Were you homeschooled and missed out on that? At any given moment, there is unseasonably cold weather somewhere on Earth and unseasonably warm weather elsewhere. I'm sure there were many such anomalies people tried to use as proof of global cooling during the few years it was in vogue. That is, from 1970-1980. Half as long as global warming, if that.

The magnitude and frequency of the anomalies would have to be increasing over a period of decades or longer for those anomalies to be indications of a changing climate regime, rather than temporary fluctuations or a cycle within the larger context of climate.
 


10 years of trending lower temps and that's not enough for some of ya'll.
 
So basically, climate is cyclical?

SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't say that! You'll send the warmers into fits! You cannot mention the golden truth about Climate around them... it's like fingernails on a chalk board man.
 
So basically, climate is cyclical?

yes, it is, and the cycles are so long that we are only recently beginning to see the evidence of them. It wasn't that long ago that the el nino effect was unheard of....and the cause still isn't thoroughly understood.

The science channel, likewise history channel, are my source of info, and new breakthroughs in instrumentation that allows us to determine the atmospheric makeup over periods of thousands of years are enlightening.

For every show I watch that has one theory, tho, there is often another show that refutes it, and offers another theory.

Not getting my panties in a twist over any of this.....
But I do favor burning less polluting fuels, and finding alternatives, for other reasons, tho. Future Ice Ages or global warmings, doesn't matter to me, as I am convinced that they will happen with or without our input...

Still hanging onto that no matter how wrong you've been proven, eh? Is it any wonder I've practically given up on having a rational discussion on global warming when actual facts get twisted? There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to global warming, but it is 100% fact that the last 10 years have proven to be some of the hottest since temperatures have been recorded. Even despite a strong La Nina.

So yeah, keep up with the "oh my gawd, it's sooooo cold outside, global warming must be bull!" and I'll continue to shake my head with the shear nonsence that pollutes this forum. Perhaps I will call this phenomena "Forum Warming." :2razz:
 

Still can't figure out how to read a graph????

Try one more time. It's really very easy.

The top 10 hottest years globally (based on anomalies from average global temperature from 1971 through 2000) include:

1998 – 0.94 degrees Fahrenheit (0.52 degrees Celsius) above average

2005 – 0.86 degrees Fahrenheit (0.48 degrees Celsius) above average
2003 – 0.83 degrees Fahrenheit (0.46 degrees Celsius) above average
2002 – 0.83 degrees Fahrenheit (0.46 degrees Celsius) above average
2004 – 0.77 degrees Fahrenheit (0.43 degrees Celsius) above average
2006 – 0.76 degrees Fahrenheit (0.42 degrees Celsius) above average
2007 – 0.74 degrees Fahrenheit (0.41 degrees Celsius) above average
2001 – 0.72 degrees Fahrenheit (0.40 degrees Celsius) above average
1997 – 0.65 degrees Fahrenheit (0.36 degrees Celsius) above average
1995 – 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit (0.28 degrees Celsius) above average

Yes, Gill... reading is very easy.

LOL.

Look at this, on the other thread, MG is jumping my **** about "weather isn't climate!" and here she is using weather to refute you
 

And you're... wrong.
