![]() 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? |

oups.com... 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? We are having "weather" not "climate". It's all within the normal conditions for the west coast. -- ... Hank http://home.earthlink.net/~horedson http://home.earthlink.net/~w0rli |

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. |

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. Bob T |

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. http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science....warming.reut/ |

One only need look at the history of climate on this planet to know that climate has made many wilder swings without human intervention. |
