What Happened To Global Warming, it's NOT!!

[Gumby]

I can really feel the global warming here in Missouri this morning. I don't think that even with the sun up and 10 deg temp is going to melt much of the snow.

You conservative non-science morons.

The hockey stick graph is true.

Here it is. Look at it.

And, we have just signed the blank check. Finally doing something:nuts:

 

[Warrenlm]

It's all in the graph design. Just need the Y axis to run from 0 to 100. Presto back to American Idol Wasteland.

WarrenLM,

If you know me you would know to look at the graph

Well I'm off...Just got a phone call from the State police, knowing I have the HUMMER, wanting help getting people stranded out stuck in their cars along the interstates and highways..A real mess..I gassed up last night figuring this would happen..It will be a blast blowing through the drifts..God Bless the HUMMER

Soon to be made in China!

Not much snow in San Diego, but we do get down into the forties at night. Daytime temps are in the seventies, so we warm up pretty quick! It was cold yesterday, with a steady drizzle falling and highs in the low sixties. I actually needed my jacket to go to the store!:laugh: Where's that global warming thing I keep hearing about?

I watch How the Earth was Made again. Next phase will be a ice sheet that reaches down to Missouri. One like it years ago carved out the Great Lakes and then filled them up when it melted. Now that's power!!

Trivia, largest salt mine in the world under the Lakes. At one time was a inland sea. Lowest point in North American is the bottom of Lake Superior, also deepest lake. Next, lower water levels in the Lakes is being caused in part by post glacial rebound now that all the weight is off of the crust. Lakes have been shrinking in size for centuries as they can identify all the different beach heads well above the current water levels.

Note: We are insignificant compared to the grander scheme of things.

That's DEEEP!!! BUT:
Might be the lowest point in the USA, but look at Lake Baikal in Southern Russia 5,314 feet deep! I'd say that's a mile!!
Deepest Lake in the World
Deepest Lake in the United States

World's Deepest Lake:

[SIZE=+0]Lake Baikal in southern Russia is the world's deepest lake. It is 5314 feet deep (1637 meters) and it's bottom is at 4215 feet (1285 meters) below sea level. This large lake is located in an active continental rift zone which is estimated to be widening at a rate of about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) per year.[/SIZE]

Hey Showm, I bought the first season on disc, How The Earth Was Made, very nice. They were a little weak on some areas. Lake Superior (and Georgian Bay Huron) is the result of a failed mid-continent rift. Such a rift as did develop, filled with basalt and this is what you see all along the North Shore and around town Duluth MN, my hometown for many years. It extends down the Miss valley too, which you can see it on gravitic-anomaly displays since the basalt is so dense. The deepest point in Lake Supeior is over 1300 feet, or some 800 feet below sea level, making it deeper tha Death Valley or even the Dead Sea. The big ice just rolled in and got stuck when it receeded.

I watched the AZ and Neb..game..thought they were playing in Nebraska at first with all the snow coming down...:nuts:

HA!..And what was that I quoted somebody saying about WIKI?...Oh, yeah, I remember..

Buster;241904]Yes and what About Wiki ?

Since Wikipedia is in reality a vast and changing document the answers can only be general. The information contained in Wikipedia, like all information, depends on the knowledge or the ability of the person giving the information. Where they don't have specific knowledge of a particular subject they rely on the accuracy of their sources of information, which may be limited or, in questions of opinion, may give a somewhat biased view, (as everyone tends to do) based on the conclusions they have reached from their own viewpoint and/or study.

Another problem with Wikipedia is that it is 'consensus driven' in that the policy regarding answers relating to opinion requires a consensus view to be put. This may be the correct view, or as we all know, 'the majority is not always right.' The majority once thought the earth was the center of the universe. Thus we end up with pooled ignorance.

On matters of opinion, such as religious or moral questions, there must be due recognition that any answer will inevitably reflect either the bias of the writer of the article or the current consensus view or what the author or authors think is the current consensus view. All of these could be wrong, either in whole or in part, but will naturally be well-presented as fact and with supporting argumentation, which may or may not be spurious, if one does not have the knowledge to critique it.

In other words, as with anything, learn to check your facts, no matter how well argued.

Good find CH, caught another one!! :laugh::laugh: Along with the IPPC this is just the tip of the ICEBURG.

Wikipedia AGW Bias: Wiki Censor William Connolley Axed


Wikipedia Fires Crazy Left-wing Climate Editor
More on Wikipedia and Connolley – he’s been canned as a Wiki administrator
Wikipedia announced that it has fired its long time climate editor William Connolley, . Connolley,a software engineer and host at RealClimate, a left- wing AGW site that relentlessly punishes AGW skeptics and lavishly praises alarmists, has been found to have changed over 5,000 Wikipedia articles to promote AGW catastrophic speculation.
He has been observed altering history, most prominetly by removing the Medieval Warming Period. But he also has been found to have described the careers and accomplishments of AGW skeptics in the most unflattering way. For background, Lawrence Solomon writes in the National Post: [more]

Looks like another sleepless night for me.

I'm just sick over this and don't see how anyone with such outstanding character could do such a thing. He looks like he could easily be a distinguished university professor - maybe a Nobel Prize Winner - ..... how could he do this ???

And worse of all -- we know members of this MB use the Wikipedia as though it's the sacred truth.

How could he not know the dangers of MEDIA POWER and it's ability to sway the masses? How could he not realize the millions of people having uncontrolled anxiety and the endless hardships that would spread across the globe?

Yet when you see the little Bear in his pack you have to know deep down he's a tender, loving, caring individual.

I think he did know Steady. He knew exactly what he was doing, why and what the ramifications of his actions could be, but believed that the End would justify the MEANS.
Reminds me of some of our leaders, and you know who they are and what the END is that they are seeking.

Ya mean wiki can be changed Kinda like re-wrting history. Well we know what group is known for that.....USSSR anyone. :nuts:
