Regardless of whether we EVER determine man's impact on global climate, these things are true: 1. Storms, unusually hot and/or cold ones, will ALWAYS pop up at odd times. 2. Every heat wave is not proof of anything. 3. Every cold snap is not proof of anything. 4. Every Category 5 hurricane is not IN ITSELF proof of anything. 5. Every time BumFrick, Idaho, has a few day of below- or above-average temps, THAT in itself is proof of nothing. People who come on this board and are fond of posting "Record Low Temps in BLAH BLAH BLAH" and expecting that to score a point with anyone with a brain need to reconsider that tactic. It's old, worn-out, and NOT APPLICABLE. I usually post stories about hotter-than-normal temps in an area (weather, not climate) when someone posts about a colder-than-normal temp event, just to balance out the forum. Neither of us is making a valid point regarding Man-Made Climate Change when we do that.

I have gotten used to clean air since leaving Anchorage and all the wood smoke. I don't want to have the government push us back into the dark ages with their ignorance.

A warmer climate means (in theory anyway) that more beetles that attack the ash trees, and the wood grows softer too. Baseball Bats and Global Warming (Accuweather) |
