No damn way!
It's 21 degrees in Ocala right now and expected to get colder. They are
forecasting some snow, and this may become one of the longest cold
spells on record with another cold front headed this way.

I made 3 three-point shots while playing basketball today out of the 4 I
attempted. With a three point shot percentage of 75% I am therefore the
greatest basketball player who ever lived.
One should use care in making global conclusions using only local data

One should also be careful of making predictions on climate based on
data such as tree rings.
The life span of a tree is hardly equivalent to an eye blink when
compared to the time the earth has existed. Yet they are using this to
determine so called climate patterns. As far as geological data its
hardly precise usually its plus or minus a couple thousand years.
Given the amount of time they have started taken accurate measurements
sub 100 years I fail to see how any credible scientist can come to any
conclusion on climate. How do they know what is normal?
Some events that could skew there data just off the top of my head the
eruption of Mt St.Helens, EL Nina, EL Nino etc…
The climate will change whether we are here or not as it always has.
All this paranoid shit does is make some people rich by taking
advantage of all the gullible idiots out there.
For the record its regularly minus 30C here over night so I hope it
does get warmer or at least another el nino would be nice.

Yikes!!! - Not much better here though.
Our high today is only 61 (42 out now).
Just ignore all those other guys.
Afterall, they're not used to tee-shirts, cut-offs and flip-flops in
the middle of a Florida "winter"!
Were you in Florida for the 1989 ice storm. What a mess!!
At least it's 21 and no ice in Ocala.
I heard on the news we have at least another week of this unusual
weather....

Since the interesting perturbation to the climate is the 100pmm rise
in atmospheric CO2 level over the past century (from around 280ppm to
around 385ppm), tree ring data does have about the right time scale to
allow us to compare curent climate changes to the climate changes that
were taking place immediately before the Industrial Revolution.

That is why they have been looking at the tree ring data, data from
Artic lake sediments, and - most informative so far - the ice core
data from the Greenland and Antarctic (Vostok) ice caps.

Mere short term perturbations.

To some extent, but injecting 37.5% more of a greenhouse gas into the
atmosphere adds a new and apparently significant perturbation.

It isn't actually paranoid shit, though Exxon-Mobil and like-minded
organisations who make money out of digging up fossil carbon and
selling it as fuel do see a financial advantage in persuading gullible
idiots like you that the scientific case is less than robust.

Wait until summer.
Until then, it might be worth your while to learn a little bit more
about the scientific case for anthropogenic global warming.
The American Institute of Physics has a useful web-site which lays out
the history of the development of the idea.
http://www.aip.org/history/climate/
You'd be better off spending you spare time reading that than
adverising that you haven't got a clue about the subject.

Well, the alarmists weren't shy about blaming every storm, beach
erosion, hot spell, change in butterfly population, or the weigh of a
herd of sheep on Global Warming.

That wasn't the serous proponenets of anthropogenic global warming,
but merely idle journalists, looking for a hook on which to hang their
latest weather story. Only the the feather-brained would take them
seriously.

Hey Slowman for a man of such conviction I see little action.
Your PC runs on electricity which is generated likely using OMG coal.
Everything in your house somehow according to you and other paranoids
contributed to emissions that cause the climate change you are so

as well as breathing.
I think you know what you have to do; be a martyr.
You missed my whole point paranoids are always narrowed minded.

Joe Bastardi says this is a repeat of 1977 weather patterns.

You mean peer-reviewed journals?
Cold kills:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/weather/article6979830.ece
I've seen serious estimates that suggest that in the US and Europe,
cool snaps kill about four times as many people as heat waves.
Plants like warmth and CO2, too.

It's been 16F the last two days when I went to work. My heat pumps
are barely keeping up (-2F from setting). We're supposed to get
freezing rain and snow tonight. It'll be fun watching the idiots
driving tomorrow. Staying out of their way won't be so much, though.
