It was on the intrawebz, so of course it's true.

Apparently this summer has been quite a scorcher in the United States. Lots of heat. Heat related damage, even heat related deaths.
Thousands of records broken.
Elsewhere, it's been either cooler or about normal.
Thus my rant.
Why is it that if something happens within CONUS, it's a "global" effect?
If ii's hot in the States, it's "Global" warming.
If it's cool in the States, it's "Global" cooling.
If it's rainy in the States, will we see "Global" flooding?
If it's snowy in Montana, will we see a "Global" whiteout?
Just because something happens in America doesn't mean it's a "Global" effect.
Get over yourself, America.
It's getting embarrassing.edit on 12-7-2012 by beezzer because: spyllinbg

Thousands of scientists around the world agree that this is real.
It just sounds like another rant against science by someone who just doesn't understand the science behind global warming. Of course there'll just be more ranting.
Sigh. So much for denying ignorance.
More like embracing ignorance.
Ignorance is bliss, after all.
Thousands of scientists also agree its not real, try climate depot site now and again.

Its quite comical to go to the US and when people ask us where we are from, and when we say "Canada", they respond with "what state is that in?". True story.

So one or two scientists makes a mistake and all of a sudden tens of thousands of them around the world are conspirators?
Nice logic and reason.
But then again, ignorance breeds irrational thought.

Thanks. I appeciate the fact that you get it.
It's not so much about global whatever as much as it is about US self-centeredness.
To summarize: Based on our research, there is very little dispute in the scientific community, especially among climate specialists, on whether climate change is primarily caused by natural or man-made forces. The overwhelming majority of scientists polled feel that human activity is the primary driver of climate change. Also, based on scientific studies by the IPCC and others, global warming over the past 50 years has been primarily driven by human activity.
Based upon the preponderance of evidence we conclude that Tim Pawlenty’s claims are both incorrect and misleading to the public, who may not be familiar with the science behind climate change. It is not "fair to say the science is in dispute," as if there are good arguments on both sides. Rather, there is significant scientific consensus that human beings are contributing to global warming. We rate his statement False.

Neither.
It's a "hold yer water, Betty!" The world isn't ending just because it's warm-thread.
Just because America is hot, does NOT mean the rest of the world is.
So why call it "Global" warming?

I'm Canadian, born and raised and live in Gatineau Quebec, I'm a true patriot and I love my country... however even I can keep my head, and see that it's not the American PEOPLE that are self-centered... it's the Socialist American GOVERNMENT that brainwash the people through commercials and media.

That must have been a really, really stupid person, and a very isolated incident. Almost EVERY American I speak to envies me for living in Canada, and always says "I really would like to move there."
So yeah... just saying...
And to the OP: Arrogance is Ignorance... It's not just the Socialist American Government... it's the Socialist WORLD Government... Get your damn facts straight...

You do realize that even other planets in the solar system are experiencing atmospheric changes attributed to increasing temperatures, right?
No Need to Panic About Global Warming
Editor's Note: The following has been signed by the 16 scientists listed at the end of the article:
Although the number of publicly dissenting scientists is growing, many young scientists furtively say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warming message, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted—or worse. They have good reason to worry. In 2003, Dr. Chris de Freitas, the editor of the journal Climate Research, dared to publish a peer-reviewed article with the politically incorrect (but factually correct) conclusion that the recent warming is not unusual in the context of climate changes over the past thousand years. The international warming establishment quickly mounted a determined campaign to have Dr. de Freitas removed from his editorial job and fired from his university position. Fortunately, Dr. de Freitas was able to keep his university job.
This is not the way science is supposed to work, but we have seen it before—for example, in the frightening period when Trofim Lysenko hijacked biology in the Soviet Union. Soviet biologists who revealed that they believed in genes, which Lysenko maintained were a bourgeois fiction, were fired from their jobs. Many were sent to the gulag and some were condemned to death.
Why is there so much passion about global warming, and why has the issue become so vexing that the American Physical Society, from which Dr. Giaever resigned a few months ago, refused the seemingly reasonable request by many of its members to remove the word "incontrovertible" from its description of a scientific issue? There are several reasons, but a good place to start is the old question "cui bono?" Or the modern update, "Follow the money."
