At the very least, JJ quit giving days over average temp statistics! Gore ought to forfeit his "Prize" and take President Obama with him. | |||

I personally am glad of global warming. Otherwise it would be 25 degrees here instead of 33 degrees. Brrrrrr _____________________________ Wes Scott | |||

Climate Change -- Those hacked e-mails or the lack of “Enlightenment” so prevalent on this site! What is Enlightenment? “Enlightenment is man’s release from his self incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man’s inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self incurred is this tutelage, when its cause lies not in lack of reason, but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a portion of mankind, after nature has long since discharge them from external direction, nevertheless remains under lifelong tutelage, and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians.” Immanuel Kant 1784 Ten minutes of required tutelage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...Og&feature=subtivity Later Larry Sapere aude! "Put some jam on the bottom shelf where the little man can reach it." "The Truth", it's just another liberal conspiracy! | |||

I don't think anybody knows what's going on for next year. I did notice PBIR has 7 races scheduled for 2010 on their calendar..... not sure if those are SF points races, not sure if those are local points races, not even sure if they just threw those dates in there for kicks. I doubt those are local points, if so they sure as hell better have more than 7. We don't even have a track manager yet, so who knows. Gonna have to play it by ear. | ||

So you know water needs to be WARM for lake effect snows to occur right? | ||
DRR Top Comp |
Lake-effect snow is produced in the winter when cold winds move across long expanses of warmer lake water, providing energy and picking up water vapor which freezes and is deposited on the leeward shores.

You forgot to highlight WARM lake. The warmer the lake, the more frequent and more intense lake effect snows become. They also last longer into the winter season the warmer the lake is. Cold winds will always come through Canada from the arctic and water vapor freezes in the atmosphere whether you're in Canada or the Caribbean. The Niagara ice boom has been put into place later and later into the season. It used to be late November, now it's been going into January. Your turn. | ||

I grew up on the shore of Lake Superior and when the water temperture would get up to 75 degrees F in January and the outside temperature was about -5 degrees F it would really dump some snow on us! The funny part was the water temperature in Lake Superior barely reached 40 degrees F in the summer time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE IT TO THE BANK!!!!! Later, Bill Koski | |||

Christmas trees banned for climate summit Nordmann firs fully live up to the climate-friendliness standards of the summit’s organisers. The firs are among the best trees at binding carbon dioxide and preventing its release into the atmosphere. Christmas trees banned for climate summit Copenhagen climate summit: 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar wedges The total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. "We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand," she says. "We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden." And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? "Five," says Ms Jorgensen. "The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don't have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it's very Danish." The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers. 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar Zell/Granny 2012 Send Your Thanks To the U.S.Military Post a Message to our Soldiers Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most Grandpa Bob Professional Fence Hanger / Spectator Former Crew Chief Grandma's Rocking Chair | |||

By CHARLES J. HANLEY, AP Special Correspondent Charles J. Hanley, Ap Special Correspondent – Mon Dec 7, 7:08 am ET It dawned with the warmest winter on record in the United States. And when the sun sets this New Year's Eve, the decade of the 2000s will end as the warmest ever on global temperature charts. Warmer still, scientists say, lies ahead. Through 10 years of global boom and bust, of breakneck change around the planet, of terrorism, war and division, all people everywhere under that warming sun faced one threat together: the buildup of greenhouse gases, the rise in temperatures, the danger of a shifting climate, of drought, weather extremes and encroaching seas, of untold damage to the world humanity has created for itself over millennia. As the decade neared its close, the U.N. gathered presidents and premiers of almost 100 nations for a "climate summit" to take united action, to sharply cut back the burning of coal and other fossil fuels. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told them they had "a powerful opportunity to get on the right side of history" at a year-ending climate conference in Copenhagen. Once again, however, disunity might keep the world's nations on this side of making historic decisions. "Deep down, we know that you are not really listening," the Maldives' Mohamed Nasheed told fellow presidents at September's summit. Nasheed's tiny homeland, a sprinkling of low-lying islands in the Indian Ocean, will be one of the earliest victims of seas rising from heat expansion and melting glaciers. On remote islets of Papua New Guinea, on Pacific atolls, on bleak Arctic shores, other coastal peoples in the 2000s were already making plans, packing up, seeking shelter. The warming seas were growing more acid, too, from absorbing carbon dioxide, the biggest greenhouse gas in an overloaded atmosphere. Together, warmer waters and acidity will kill coral reefs and imperil other marine life — from plankton at the bottom of the food chain, to starfish and crabs, mussels and sea urchins. Over the decade's first nine years, global temperatures averaged 0.6 degrees Celsius (1.1 degrees F) higher than the 1951-1980 average, NASA reported. And temperatures rose faster in the far north than anyplace else on Earth. The decade's final three summers melted Arctic sea ice more than ever before in modern times. Greenland's gargantuan ice cap was pouring 3 percent more meltwater into the sea each year. Every summer's thaw reached deeper into the Arctic permafrost, threatening to unlock vast amounts of methane, a global-warming gas. Less ice meant less sunlight reflected, more heat absorbed by the Earth. More methane escaping the tundra meant more warming, more thawing, more methane released. At the bottom of the world, late in the decade, International Polar Year research found that Antarctica, too, was warming. Floating ice shelves fringing its coast weakened, some breaking away, allowing the glaciers behind them to push ice faster into the rising oceans. On six continents the glaciers retreated through the 2000s, shrinking future water sources for countless millions of Indians, Chinese, South Americans. The great lakes of Africa were shrinking, too, from higher temperatures, evaporation and drought. Across the temperate zones, flowers bloomed earlier, lakes froze later, bark beetles bored their destructive way northward through warmer forests. In the Arctic, surprised Eskimos spotted the red breasts of southern robins. In the 2000s, all this was happening faster than anticipated, scientists said. So were other things: By late in the decade, global emissions of carbon dioxide matched the worst case among seven scenarios laid down in 2001 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.N. scientific network formed to peer into climate's future. Almost 29 billion tons of the gas poured skyward annually — 23 percent higher than at the decade's start. By year-end 2008, the 2000s already included eight of the 10 warmest years on record. By 2060, that trajectory could push temperatures a dangerous 4 degrees C (7 degrees F) or more higher than preindustrial levels, British scientists said. Early in the decade, the president of the United States, the biggest emitter, blamed "incomplete" science for the U.S. stand against rolling back emissions, as other industrial nations were trying to do. As the decade wore on and emissions grew, American reasoning leaned more toward the economic. By 2009, with a new president and Congress, Washington seemed ready to talk. But in the front ranks of climate research — where they scale the glaciers, drill into ocean sediments, monitor a changing Earth through a web of satellite eyes — scientists feared they were running out of time. Before the turn of the last century, with slide rule, pencil and months of tedious calculation, Svante Arrhenius was the first to show that carbon dioxide would warm the planet — in 3,000 years. The brilliant Swede hadn't foreseen the 20th-century explosion in use of fossil fuels. Today their supercomputers tell his scientific heirs a much more urgent story: To halt and reverse that explosion of emissions, to head off a planetary climate crisis, the 10 years that dawn this Jan. 1 will be the fateful years, the final chance, the last decade. ___ Charles J. Hanley has covered climate issues for The Associated Press since the Kyoto conference of 1997. | |||

You duped boob leftists really need to get some news from a reputable sourcee! The statistics these hoaxers are using are all doctored to fit the results they want! The E-mails conclusively reveal that the biggest promoters of the hoax were all in cahoots doctoring the numbers! Why hasn't this revelation even been mentioned in the left-wing main stream moron media?????????????????? TAKE IT TO THE BANK!!!!! Later, Bill Koski | |||
