Climate and Weather

I deny that you have any value to add here at all. You ignore everything that was in the article and make some asinine comment about summers being hot. That's as dumb and irrelevant as your "you pay a lot of interest on your mortgage" comment.

The article is the same old song and dance with temps spiking at less then a degree. Even in the summer. As always, those sounding the alarm are consuming more energy then most. What Jack Assery!!

But let it never be said that I don't add value to a climate discussion. They even bolded it for you. Them ten letters are a joke.

From your article below:

† You may have noticed that the actual temperature anomaly for each month over March through July appears to be dropping; 1.28 to 1.11 to 0.93 to 0.79 (though this month was bumped up to 0.84°). That may be due to El Niño weakening, but it’s hard to know over such a short time period. Even if the trend continues, I’d bet 2016 will be the hottest year on record.

Don't you just love it when convictions for the hottest years are reduced to a bet?
 
He's a PHD, but you're right, we should just pay attention to your expert opinion on Climate instead.

Not at all. I just thought I'd bring your attention to the PhD's facts in his bolded disclaimer. By all means, please pay attention to what you post.

...and that's your problem, you imply that he contradicted himself with the disclaimer, but the premise of the article is that we very well could have yet another "hottest year ever recorded".

BIZ, is it possible that mankind is speeding the rate of Global Warming?

Don't be like that son. You're fond of having a conversation aren't you.

I'm basically telling myself to fuck off, for repeatedly making the mistake of trying to engage you in conversation. I'll try not to make that mistake again, there is no more futile endeavor...

I thought about warning you, but I guess your way the lesson was better learned.

Yea, not like there is a ton of people in here to dialogue with...we're stuck with whoever wants to participate.

Dialogue - that's funny. It seems to be a feature of anonymous, or quasi-anonymous, communication networks that any attempt at a serious discussion gets overloaded or sidetracked by trolls or would-be comedians. Izzy is not unique - he fits into a class of would-be experts who post long treatises someone else wrote and no one reads, and won't (or can't) carry on an intelligent (or even courteous) discussion about those posts.

I read on the web (so it must be true) that this month is the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web, which took the internet out of the hands of academics and professionals and opened it up to the public (or at least to anyone with a cable-tv account). There was computer communication before that, but bulletin boards accessible by dial-up acoustic modems were easy to police. There were also email servers, soon accessorized with newsgroup servers - and that's about where and when the troublemakers, idiots and trolls broke in.

Newsgroups are a way of presenting a hybrid of bulletin boards and email in a topic-based hierarchy with techie-sounding names like comp.arch.386 (concerned with c0mputer architecture of the 80386 microprocessor), for example, or non-tech topics like rec.photo.misc (miscellaneous topics in recreational photography). An infamous newsgroup that I participate in is rec.skiing.alpine, which was composed of a couple of hundred regular posters until one of them started acting badly, which devolved into lost jobs, death threats, and eventually involved police and the courts. Even though most online accounts no longer offer direct newsgroup access, the fossilized skeleton of that group is visible through a google www application (naturally) here --

Like Espola, you don't like getting poked in the eye with your own post. You like clinging to the 97% consensus without defining terms like speeding. For the next couple of days San Diego temps will be way below average (-2 to -7 degrees). "Speeding"?
