1. global warming (running away fast)

[kestrel91316]

3. I'm sure we don't really need to remind you that global warming causes

CLIMATE CHANGE.........

[tabasco]

8. It takes a special kind of stupid

to deny global warming because of a local condition like this.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Yep. Of course, it's also stupid to confirm global warming on the basis of this or that local...

condition.

Thankfully, that's not what scientists do.

[tabasco]

12. That's right. Scientists use tens of thousands of local observations.

Not just one.

19. Climate change is the correct term

But, you know that.
So, considering it is an anomaly, would you not concede that it is climate CHANGE?

Our area is 12 inches of rainfall OVER the yearly avg and we still have 7 months to go. I consider that CHANGE.

2. See Global Warming Is a.....

Farce.....:sarcasm:

4. And here I was complaining the pool water was still a bit too chilly in MD.

[Bobbieo]

17. The pool water is also chilly in Yuma. AZ. It was only 85 yesterday.

5. I was in Dickinson on Thursday

I'm glad I drove on through.

6. It's been cold for 3 years

It's been downright miserable up here in the NE. When it's not raining, it's colder than normal. Friggin' heat coming on in June - uggh.

[Politicalboi]

7. So much for

Global Warming. :sarcasm: But yet fire taking down 3 buildings in one day is believable.:rofl:

[notadmblnd]

10. I imagine that the eruption of the volcano in Alaska has some effect

it has been colder and wetter than usual. Two years ago I was able to plant the 1st week of April. This year not till the middle of May.

11. It has been a really cool spring here in Fargo.

It's been in the 50s all weekend, and it's JUNE, it should be in the 70s!

The sun-spot shortage I've heard the sun's having must be offsetting global warning. :shrug:

[Sal Minella]

15. "Solar minimum?" Is that what the sun-spot absence is called?

Apparently the correlation with temps is fairly strong.

So when the sun spots come back, the GW deniers will find some other excuse for heat waves and horrible storms.

[Odin2005]

16. Yep, pretty much.

[here_is_to_hope]

13. First a budget surplus, then that young rancher hits the lottery and now this...n/t

[Captain Hilts]

14. I saw June snow in Moscow, Russia in '93. nt

[orleans]

18. our local weather person did a little observation

that showed we have had 1 tornado warning this year compared with 13 last year. and we've had half of the severe storm warnings than compared to last year at this time. because of the cooler air.

our heat has turned on in the middle of the night...in june!
