| I'd be down for Lawler, but chances are we'd only have the 3 of us, making the trip a bit too expensive, right? |

| Sorry, I wouldn't be able to swing the Chi-town trip for Lawler. Along with not being able to get the time off of work with this short of notice. |

| Yeah, well we'll eventually get around to a chitown trip... |

Maybe this will get Al Gore to STFU.
Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.
No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.
Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.
Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases. The dramatic cooling seen in just 12 months time seems to bear that out. While the data doesn't itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it.
Let's hope those factors stop fast. Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans -- and most of the crops and animals we depend on -- prefer a temperature closer to 70.
Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.

Wrong forum for your political/environmental conquests, Mr. D'arco. Take it to someone who cares. :wtf:
Day After Tommorow? |

Yeah I didn't feel like getting into it...especially considering the use of Al-out of his-Gore as an spokesperson!!!
Actually to be totally honest, I had a really long response but my work computer decided to go all code-tastic on me (don't ask what that entailed, it was the weirdest thing I have ever seen)and I now I have zero motivation to retype it all but....
I do say this, that article has just as many biases as all the ego-maniac extremist environmentalist's rants |

| Considering the constant hammering from global warming freaks, it's nice to have some counter-evidence, even if it's biased in its own way. |

You crazy ass Italians, and your funny last names.
EDIT: BTW, I hope you got the reference to 'Day After Tommorow' that I made at the bottom of my last post.
Here's a hint for you:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319262/ |
