[quote Carthaigh][quote SDGuy]Right now, today, San Diego is a whopping 4.6% BELOW normal temperatures:
Right now, today, in my house, in Los Angeles, the temperature is 5% ABOVE the temperature outside. So what?
Well - combine the two and I think we're headed towards Global Normaltemperatureness - see, nothing to worry about after all...

[quote SDGuy]To quote that great sage, Ronald Reagan, "there you go again..." with the Global Warming.

I assume you're joking and not so ignorant as to equate climate with local weather patterns.

I assume he is not, SDGuy keeps bringing up that Newsweek report as if it actually means anything. It was not science 30 years ago, it was nothing more than an overstated article about the recent cool down in the popular press. The data was not anywhere close to being global as a number of areas were not included. X-uri covered it better, even then the material the Newsweek article was based on was not accepted as being conclusive.

SDGuy considers baiting left wing librul baby killers his mission on this forum. He only has access for limited periods during the day. Other inmates often get to the keyboards first, so don't wait for a reply or expect an opportunity for a real tête-à-tête.

If they're going to secede, why should anyone care ?
Re: Article: Warming expected to reshape California - RgrF - 01-02-2008
They'll secede right after the Cape leaves.

Individual weather extremes can't be attributed to global warming, scientists always say. However, "it's the run of them and the different locations" that have the mark of man-made climate change, said top European climate expert Phil Jones, director of the climate research unit at the University of East Anglia in England.
What kind of double-speak is that ?

Better to ask, what kind of world renowned institution is the University of East Anglia. Does it imply more accumen then the local DiVrey Institute?

Its not double-speak.
The author of the article is stating (correctly) that you cannot attribute the two consecutive record-breaking high temperatures in Portland, Tenn. (for instance) to Global Warming. There is enough variability in the day-to-day temperatures in a single location that a singular event might have nothing to do with a global warming or cooling trend.
The author then goes on to quote Dr. Jones explaining that a series of many such events, in widely separated locations, however, may be taken as significant w.r.t. global climate trends.
The current very steep and accelerating warming trend is detectable in the year-to-year, seasonally and globally averaged temperatures. In the short-term, or over a geographically small scale, the trend is lost in the noise.
