Just to confirm, the above post was meant as sarcasm. I received several reps; not sure if it was clear that I was being sarcastic.

In Vegas, when I was a kid, a really hot day was 105. Now, we regularly see weeks where it is 113 and up.

When I was in Alaska, I watched a glacier calve into the bay and the park ranger said it used to happen annually, but happens daily now. This was three years ago.

California is experiencing its 5th year of "drought". I don't think it is a drought. I think it is the new normal.

All politics aside, something is changing, and it is happening rapidly.

The correct term is NOT global warming but rather global climate change. Therefore what you describe, changes in local climate on a global scale is in fact global climate change.

10 years ago GMA ran a story on global warming and predicted that coastal cities would be under water by 2016.
A total scam to let government control and tax all energy.
You mean government doesn't already tax all energy?

Are you asking us to explain how dumping thousands and thousands of Pounds per Square Inch of carbon monoxide into the air is not effecting some areas.. while others are fine?

No one really has a clue what's going on.. but the fact remains the industrial revolution has a effect on the planet.. and one can observe it just as consecutively we keep having the hottest summer ever year after year..

Scientist are bad at measurements.. for example they thought they had it all figured out with sea level and recently they figured this out..

So their measurements about the planet warming and the ice melting are accurate.. but ahh they really know @#%# nothing about the planet in a long term sense so global warming is real... it's supposed to stop about 2050'ish or so.. no big deal some coasts will flood.. some cities will disappear.. not the 1st time.. it's been happening for thousands of years.. this will just be semi-accelerated that's about all I know.. (and it was us who accelerated it.. and it was the price of the industrial revolution.. no big deal! the planet can handle it, we will survive) which is more then MOST know.

ughh NO. That contradicts 99% of everything I've read. Please provide your evidence. Any actual researchers of merit have come to this conclusion or somebody you heard on Rush?
