2. Mopaul, this is beyond any historical trend already.
This is a new thing in recorded history.

3. Just like the 60's
Camilel in MS.

Here in Texas Beulah, Carla and Celia (1970). In July we had a close call with Emily. Now this one.

I'm in Corpus Christi now, we have an apartment here. We are going to GTF outa here this evening.

4. That's a valid argument to a point.
Once we got the second CAT 5 in 3 weeks, we went beyond recorded history.

11. Extreme weather marks 2004
And this was last year. This year is even weirder.

Extreme weather marks 2004

BUENOS AIRES - The World Meteorological Organization reports 2004 has been the fourth-warmest year since 1861, when global temperatures were first recorded.

(...)

For example, heat waves with near-record temperatures affected southern Spain, Portugal, and Romania.

On the other hand, abnormally cold conditions reportedly killed 92 people in July in high-altitude areas of the Andes in southern Peru.

Sommeria predicts such abnormal weather patterns are likely to increase in the coming decades.

13. It's simple. We don't believe in global warming
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 04:07 PM by donkeyotay
It works like this: I believe poor people are to blame for being poor. I believe President Bush is a saint and a genius. I believe in tax cuts. I believe Limpbaugh tells the truth. But I don't believe in global warming. Next.

I was watching some crazy tree hugging liberal commies on DW TV just after Katrina hit, and was shocked to hear them discuss Katrina in the context of GLOBAL WARMING! They were shaking their heads at us and rolling their eyes when the moderator asked the group (Quadriga) if they thought America would finally start talking about GLOBAL WARMING. None of them thought we would, and they clearly pitied us like we were the strange relative no one in the family wants to talk about.

Hear no evil.
See no evil.
Do not have a clue.
