Here is some global information everyone ought to get familiar with.

Its about Hurricanes. Take a look at this page

http://policlimate.com/tropical/index.html

it covers both Hurricane frequency and intensity

The work here is by a PhD scientist who has devoted his study to this subject. His numbers are not in dispute.

The bottom line is, there is no increase in either frequency or intensity of hurricanes over the last 40 years. Period. In fact, the opposite is true.

Now those of you who think Hurricanes are worse, you might consider the credentials of those who are telling you that.

(please note, that warm feeling on your leg is likely yellow and smells of ammonia)

Correct. Every year, the hurricane predictions come out and every year they are uniformly wrong.

Yeah...so when its cold in the USA according to the global warming moonbats its just local weather.

However, when its hot in Australia the global warming moonbats start ranting see..see...global warming is real its no longer just local Australian weather---anything you say

Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it false.

Why not, if you see warming on any other place on the planet you declare that as proof of man-made global warming. So it works both ways.

If someone uses localized data to "prove" man-made global warming, then they are just as incorrect as someone using it to disprove global warming

And on the flip side of that, you cannot declare humans are responsible for global warming just because you can’t think of anything else that could be. It's the old 'well, what else could it be caused by' argument. It's the same primitive logic ancient humans used to justify sacrificing people to the rain gods.

Agreed, ocean currents and wind currents routinely bring cold or warm weather to different spots on the globe. If El Niño raises surface temps in the US or Australia, are we supposed to measure this warmth and declare it as proof of global warming?

What if we have two years in-a-row with a warm El Niño, do we us that to declare we have proof of global warming and parade around charts and graphs of with those high temps? Is that just a two year weather event, or is it proof of man-made climate change?
