and summertime in Europe. Just a hypothesis.

6. When colder air moves up to the warmer latitudes from the polar region
It is because warmer air has moved down to displace it....and that is what the warmest pretend not to understand.

17. Yeah I know
Some people just like to insult strangers on a message board, it makes them feel better about themselves I guess.

20. And I'm not talking about the OP. I'm talking about the moron
who wrote the source material without pointing out that it's Winter in South America.

16. Wow that is rude
Its one thing to disagree with someone, or take issue with someone's OP. But that was just cruel. But I do thank you for this, because now I know of one more person to put on ignore.

22. Well, since I was referring to the headline on the source
article, not the OP, I guess the original author of this article, which failed to mention that it is Winter in SA, will have to come here if he/she is to feel insulted.

13. More extreme weather conditions have been predicted by climate change advocates for 30 years


these extremes are not limited to summer months


Remember this the next time a southern state gets hit with a blizzard and all the morons try to use it as evidence against climate change.


Extreme weather, its not just for breakfast anymore.... err summer anymore
