    My favorite name for a double black diamond ski trail comes courtesy of The Simpsons: the Colostomizer!

    @timbob -and we are the cause? Really? I bet the dinosaurs thought they were the cause. Each ice age must have had someone generating greenhouse gasses as well. Nevermind that the solar output has actually risen, AND fallen. Guess that has nothing to do with it. OF course this being an El Nino year which usually causes the very same weather we’re experiencing doesn’t seem to register with liberal “sky is falling” types like yourself either.Please spare us. SOME of us are old enough to recall the predictions of how we would (by now) be in an ice age at this time. Hasn’t happened yet. Only a few years ago it was supposed to be Global Warming, now its “climate change” -which is seasonal anyway. Basically, just like the beginning of time, nobody really understands how the weather really works. Too many variables.

    Global warming is a hoax as promoted. The forecast of horrific adverse effects will never come to pass. There has been no meaningful global warming compared to 1000 AD. We will know there is something real about the dangers of climate change when the crazy leftists start moving away from the current coastlines. For now it is merely hype, just another leftist endeavor to control the rabble.

    BrewingbikerYou must have been sampling your brew. I am 82 and remember that hypothesis. It was based on the cycle theory (of everything from weather to global politics) and has had mixed results. In the case of world climate (not just local weather), it was based on both dendrochronology (tree rings) and ice core samples. It predicted that since the world of the ‘70s had been unusually warm, wet, and stable, the cycle predicted it would become more cold, dry, and unstable. The dry and unstable part has been true (minor variants from the current El Ni˜o (Help, my enya isn’t printing!) rain notwithstanding), but because of increasing carbon dioxide (and worse) emissions from fossil fuel in the last two centuries, the chilling just hasn’t happened. If you count the 5° drop in ocean temperature in two spots off Antarctia, you must also count the 15° rise off the Norwegian and Russian island in the arctic. The world temperature, as a whole, is still rising.
