Climate and Weather

I finally got around to reading the relevant passages in Lamb's book. The picture in question is bound with the other photographic plates between pages 352 and 353 of volume 2. The photo is mentioned in a section dealing with surface wind currents near large ice masses, such as the receding North America ice dome. The author referred to previous work of his describing winds near the edge of ice in Antarctica. He proposed that during the existence of the North American ice, winds were channeled between the ice and the Rocky Mountains, drawing "warm moist Pacific airmass in Julys of those times" (V2, p 228). That explains why that particular area (McKenzie River Delta) was warmer than it is today. He also pointed out other scientists' work explaining warm föhn winds that blow down from glaciers, heating as they descend in a manner similar to how our local Santa Ana winds heat up as the come down.

What was it you were told about that photo that led you to post it here?

It was warmer there than it is today.
That was my point.
Im happy we agree.

Im reading another of Lamb's books now.
I'll be sure to consult you if I have any questions.

"It was warmer" during the growing season because of a local, transient, recurring wind. Does that agree with what your twitter master told you?

It was warmer, and it was warmer for enough time for a forest to grow.
No trees for 100KMs today.
You can toss that salad any way you wish.

That's all you have?

How are you doing on Lamb's other book?

I dont "have" anything.
The facts are the facts.

The first book, which you referenced, is the best book.
Im trudging through "Climate History and the Modern World", mostly on the toilet. (where I do my best thinking)

If you had read the first book, you would have been able to answer simple questions about it.

Asking you to explain your post is fighting it?

You just fight everything I post like its personal.
I just posted a picture of a tree stump in Dr. Lamb's book, and you gave me the 5th degree.
Whats wrong with you?
If you want to discuss it, fine.
Im just not into the condescending bullshit.

I have posted more discussion about this picture than you have. That's because I actually read the relevant portions of the book.

And you still haven't given a believable answer about how you became aware of it.

You actually took the time to find at least a few pages of Lamb's book.
If I was responsible for that, that's a positive in my book.

And reading those pages it was obvious that you hadn't. You posted a lot of garbage about the photo and caption, which I must assume were conclusions fed to you. You even lied about Lamb's conclusion about the picture. Of course, it's not really a lie if you don't know it is untrue, right?
