I think you're falling victim to the faulty logic you claim to be against. This winter has had its cold times but here in MA last week was in the 50s almost every day and it rained in buckets, same thing 3 weeks before. This has not been a particularly hard winter. We've had cold snaps but I don't consider 1 week to be "prolonged cold".
Last winter was the warmest in 50 years. The year before that was also quite warm with almost no snow. The right wingers using this winter to claim "global warming is a myth" apparently can't remember back 365 days. I'll grant that theres an awful lot we don't know about the climate but we do know that global mean temperature has risen. Did we cause it? Don't know. Will it keep rising? Don't know. Is this swing long term or short term? Don't know. Is there anything we can do about it? Don't know. Are we getting some terrible storms lately? Yup. Should we prepare for worse? Dammed right. Anybody who says otherwise to that last one is clearly gonna have their house washed out from under them. Then ask for a bailout... -Curt Who can remember farther back than yesterday and look farther ahead than tomorrow.

The whole land between the lakes in NY is a wino's paradise. The colder winters have no influence on wine, other than perhaps killing the vines of less cold hardy varieties. The early winter this year probably froze more grapes, meaning eiswein would be more available this year. andrew, I guess you have not noticed the winters growing harder and longer. This winter started very early. Did you notice the ship of fools? A load of global warming true believers, activists, on the way to see how the antarctic eis is supposed to be receding. Their ship was frozen in ice far from the supposed end of the ice, and the resultant "rescue" cost zillions of $$$ and involved many countries. In the end, the ship was left, but the fools were lifted out by taxpayers' heliochopters. In true communist fashion, they successfully passed the bill for their stupidity on to other people. I say we shoulda left em there in the intense heat of their global warming theory. Dr. Deming warned against confusing natural variation with special cause variation. The world, except the japanese, and perhaps the Korean automakers, have ignored Deming for decades. The albore gang is deaf and blind. Our climate goes on as it has since the creation. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
