Last year at this time we'd had a bunch of 100's already, my air was broke, and I was worried about the cat.

this year......2 100's and a bunch of cooler days/nights.......shit changes.

Global warming doesn't make every place warmer. It can actually cause a quicker ice age.

maybe we should consult Al?

Na, he'll just show a retarded "simpson-ish" cartoon to fool us into thinking he knows something...........

btw, I'd have thought mr. less would have done something on this by now.........doesn't anyone remember when he was bitching about the smog to that "paid actor" I mean, police officer in "bowling for dollars"......I mean "columbine"........?

Summer weather in Barcelona. The Happy Mondays gave an open air concert. Little bit windy, so all the smoke got blown away.

Yep. Los Angeles today: upper 70's, light breeze, maybe a cloud or two somewhere if we're lucky. Same as every other day. I honestly don't know why the weatherman even bothers to show up, or why anyone pays him to. If there is even a light sprinkle (and there hasn't been for a long time, and there won't be for a long time

), it is like the perfect storm landed in LA County. Dallas Raines (that's the dude's name... no shit... only in LA, right?) fires up the Mega Doppler 7000 HD and reports the events with gusto.

It's been in the mid 80's here in the day, but in the 50's at night. I can't get my freakin' pool warm. I'd like a little global warming please. Can you sell me some like you can carbon offsets?

I believe in global warming!

I grew up in Alaska. I remember snow falling in October, now it falls in late November. I remember being able to make tunnels in my front yard because it was 4-5 feet high some winters. Now it's shitty wet snow. I also remember being able to snowboard a LOT more and in much, much better conditions. There's nothing quite like a heavy snowfall one night, and a crisp, cold, sunny, bluebird sky with fluffy powder everywhere the next day.

Shit, I also don't remember there being forest fires blanketing Anchorage with smoke at all. Every season for the last 5-7 years there has been a forest fire. It's super hot right now, about 80 degrees, and quite humid. This made thunder and lightning, which I also don't remember very much of growing up. Finally, where the fuck are all the bees?! I've seen maybe TWO bumblebees this summer, and a total of zero yellowjacket nests. This is very unusual, as I work in the garden during the day, and actively patrol the eaves of the house for any nesting activity.

Whether it's global warming, climate change, or just my own perception, I don't know. But some things definitely appear to be changing.

The indigenous people of Greenland have these white anoraks that they use for ceremonial dress, amongst other things. They're made of seal skin, and I heard on Danish radio that they get them white by a procedure that requires some 20 degrees below freezing point, or something.

Same place I heard they couldn't make any this year as it didn't get cold enough. This was never a problem before..

WORD!

I live on the coast in the northwest of california and snowboard cali/oregon/washington (would love to get up to AK!!!)...I can't remember a season with so little snow and such weird freak weather....we used to have huge storms consistently all winter.

we just had the first snow of the season in Dunedin, New Zealand. I'm having a lovely morning drinking tea, playing with my beats and watching cars slide down the hiil outside my window...

It'll make it interesting at tonight's winter solstice party in a valley out of town though, (www.mean.co.nz) frosty magic times in the snow and tunes all night.

The missing bees are a very worrying problem. I haven't noticed it in New Zealand (although the weather does seem more erratic than years ago), but have read about it happening in lots of other places.

global warming is totally nonsensical. This is because global warming depends on a global temperature. however, you cannot have a single temperature for a non homogeneous system, its against thermodynamics. Therefore global warming does not exist.
