Sean Hannity would use that information and say it's proof that global warming isn't occurring.

Don't the deranged AGW fear mongers always tell us whether is not climate, except of course when they want it to be?

A point I see made here is that your 'scientists' (who, btw, fight amongst themselves as to how to really interpret this 'science' based on models and extrapolations) are about as credible as those Hannity and Beck goonballs.

"Think you're hot now? Just wait a few years"

Why thank you---you're not so bad yourself.

Yeah, you're right. We should just reject everything science says.

That's what you're suggesting.

Richard S. Lindzen: The Climate Science Isn't Settled - WSJ.com

"The Climate Science Isn't Settled
Confident predictions of catastrophe are unwarranted"

"Mr. Lindzen is professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

Let's talk again when you're versed in how to appropriately read and evaluate scientific data and papers. I bet you don't even understand where this data comes from or how the conclusions are made.

Well, the last week or so has been warm here in Northern CA, but not unseasonably so. It's actually finally starting to feel like summer here. Overall, this has been one of the cooler summers that I can remember. Winter was very, very bitter.

Yes, we had record snowfalls this winter, too.

Quick, let's make some crazy generalization about it!
