Its like trying to say OJ didn't kill Nicole because people died in the past so obviously Nicole's head chopped itself off.
Don't remind me you motherfuckers. I froze my ass off cleaning up the car this morning, and we have another storm coming early next week. FML :lol
Thats not true at all either but the fact that people think it is remains the biggest reason people can't help but deny AGW.Quote:

Fuck the winter. I've missed SA the most over the past few weeks due to the temps rarely cracking freezing here.Quote:

Well, not necessarily ONE day, but there are thousands of links (Google it yourself) where a site will say "year X is the hottest year on record" or "hottest November on record" etc. etc.Quote:

It's hard to say if it's true or not. It is probable though. It wouldn't be the first time the Earth has rid itself of an entire species.Quote:

Its not probable at all. The greatest rise in global temps that the models predict - and this is not the likeliest - isn't going to make the planet inhospitable for human life or even close to it. The more likely temperature rising is certainly not going to do that.
If you want to believe that it is, thats your prerogative but that certainly is not what AGW theory, the vast majority of climate scientists, or the IPCC say.
Cool, let me know when Al Gore reads this thread.Quote:

I will say this, there is a HUGE difference in using an isolated storm system in the middle of winter to prove a point and using temperature records from a year on the entire globe to use as part of a dataset. One even includes the other.Quote:

2010 tied for Earth’s hottest year on record, NOAA reports
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday that last year was tied as the planet's hottest on record.
Surface temperatures in 2010 were tied with 2005: both years, up approximately 1.12 degrees Fahrenheit over the 20th century's average.
Surface temperatures for the Earth's oceans were also up by 0.88 degrees Fahrenheit in 2010, once again tying with 2005, this time for the third warmest year on record.
The NOAA's records date back to 1880 and show, "they said, a rate of warming in the last 30 years that's three times what was seen in the century prior.

Sentence from the OP in first link
2nd thread has nothing about GW in the OP.Quote:
I don’t know if this is global warming-related but it's really strange weather.
3rd thread started by RG where he says this:

No actually.
My point was to point out how silly a lot of global climate change deniers are when they try to use isolated events of cold weather to somehow "disprove" the whole notion of human-caused climate change, as DarrinS does on a regular basis.
It is a perfect example of a strawman logical fallacy. Isolated heat waves no more prove global climate change than isolated snow storms disprove it.
