Northwest Dehydrates as Southwest Soaks?
 

All the theories about global warming drying up the
whole West Coast are cracking.
Records are now being set in L.A. and Oregon but in reverse.
What the hell is going on here?

You don't want to know, but didja notice the amount of high altitude
flying by the "Air Force" has increased?

How so?

I hadn't noticed anything that unusual in the skies, except as mentioned the
lack of rain.

what do you think is going on?

We are having "weather" not "climate".
It's all within the normal conditions for the west coast.

Some people with their heads up their ass just can't
see that climate is also variable.No matter how warm & dry
the years get,they still can't seem to pull it out.

And others claim any change in weather is a change in climate.

Nor you yours. Yes, the planet may be getting
slightly warmer and may stay that way for
a few hundred years or more before getting
warmer still, or cooling again. The question
to ask is: Would this trend be happening even
if people were not on the planet? Or perhaps
another question is: Have people contributed
to the trend, and if so is it more than a tiny
fraction?

To attribute such a global trend to people is
absurd to begin with (that is, something short
of a nuclear winter).

Point is that many statist nuts want to use
the trend's existence to heavily regulate
Human Action to their social engineering
ends. Sorry, I don't buy it.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Studies looking at the oceans and melting Arctic ice
leave no room for doubt that it is getting warmer, people are to blame, and
the weather is going to suffer, climate experts have said.

New computer models that look at ocean temperatures instead of the
atmosphere show the clearest signal yet that global warming is well under
way, Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography said.

"The debate over whether or not there is a global warming signal is now
over, at least for rational people," he said.

"Could a climate system simply do this on its own? The answer is clearly
no," Barnett said.

Barnett clearly had his head in a dark place when he made that statement.
One only need look at the history of climate on this planet to know that
climate has made many wilder swings without human intervention.

That's right. Glaciers in the lower 48 was wild enough,
and they disappeared in a wild swing that makes a one degree
increase in temps a page 48 news item.
