Can you see the difference between meteorologists (whose statements
you seem to base the vast majority, if not all, of your arguments on)
and climatologists (nearly *all* of whom disagree with you) yet? Here,
these letters may help you.
BTW, which of these letter-writers sounds smarter to you, nob? Which
one would you suppose comes across most like you?

DEBATING GLOBAL WARMING
A bad forecasting record
In the Nov. 13 article "Weather Channel founder calls global warming a
scam," Daniel Weiss, a senior fellow and director of climate strategy
at the Center for American Progress, disagrees, saying, "We are seeing
the impacts of global warming now that were not supposed to occur
until years from now."
Is it surprising to anyone that these same scientists who are
attempting to predict the Earth's temperature years from now are the
same ones who can't predict whether it's going to rain or snow
tomorrow?

climate vs. weather
A big difference
What the Nov 14 letter writer ("A bad forecasting record") fails to
grasp is the difference between climate and weather.
Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and climate is the
statistics on weather data taken over a time range of several years.
Global warming scientists are not trying to predict the weather on
March 13 of the year 2122. Instead they study trends in climate based
on past and current weather measurements, such as temperature and
humidity, over a period of decades and centuries.
Take the stock market as a way of understanding the difference between
weather and climate. If you could predict the day-to-day ups and downs
of the stock market on a consistent basis (think weather here), you
would be a very rich individual. As we all know this is very difficult
task. However, over time the statistics have shown (think climate
here) that the stock market typically increases between 5 percent and
10 percent over a period of decades, which is why individuals find
this a wise investment for their retirements.
Climate and weather are different. Global warming deniers, please
don't use this as an argument anymore to make your case. It's simply
wrong.

Can you begin to understand why I (and many others) ridicule you and
your ecstatic endorsement of that weatherman from San Diego's
statement?
LOL!
To even a casual observer it appears that you ridicule everyone who holds a
different i.e. non-liberal viewpoint on anything.
I ridicule everybody who thinks a one-third "majority" means anything.
I ridicule everybody who puts a massive amount of stock in a
weatherman from San Diego's statements.
Hint: that would be you, nob.
Have you polled all the Climatologists to see what their thoughts on GW
might be?
Since you asked, I'm sure that you have. Don't keep us in suspense!
Which one-third agree with you?
