It's 72 degrees in Memphis Tn in the middle of August. In the 18 years I've lived here it's the coolest I've seen, dipped into the low 60's last night. We don't normally get cold fronts in the summer months, we've had them all summer....Maybe we need to sue the enviro whackos for giving us the wrong junk science.

I fully expect Time or Newsweek to do cover stories on these findings. And CBS, NBC, and ABC will have segments about the UN's flawed models. And public school textbooks will set the record straight.

That snicker wasn't for you, quid. I just can't help but throw back my head in laughter whenever I see the names Blix and/or Gore. I was just trying to hold it in...but the snicker came out.

"the science is settled" on global warming?

It sure is. Just like crap in a septic tank.

I live in Sacramento where not one single record has fallen this year for hot days. Much the opposite, this is the coolest summer in recent memory. The next step, which the whackos are already heading for, is to claim that global warming causes global COOLING. No matter what the weather is the whackos will change their tune to forward their left-wing, anti-freedom, anti-American politics. The science of global warming is irrelevant. The politics of global warming are the real issue.

OK. Global warming? Milwaukee just set the RECORD LOW for AUGUST in the HISTORY OF THE CITY (something like 52 degrees farh...)!!!! Where is the warming?

One theory on global climate change:

Excerpted from the NAOO Paleoclimatology website:

The Milankovitch or astronomical theory of climate change is an explanation for changes in the seasons which result from changes in the earth's orbit around the sun. The theory is named for Serbian astronomer Milutin Milankovitch, who calculated the slow changes in the earth's orbit by careful measurements of the position of the stars, and through equations using the gravitational pull of other planets and stars. He determined that the earth "wobbles" in its orbit. The earth's "tilt" is what causes seasons, and changes in the tilt of the earth change the strength of the seasons. The seasons can also be accentuated or modified by the eccentricity (degree of roundness) of the orbital path around the sun, and the precession effect, the position of the solstices in the annual orbit.

I'm no scientist but from what little I have read or seen on the subject this makes more sense than most of what makes up the popular global warming "science".

These three events occur independently but when peaks in their cycle occur we get either ice ages or the opposite. Thousands of years ago England was tropical with hippos swimming in the Thames. Then with the next extreme created by the convergence of these events there was a major ice age. My assumption is that we are still warming from the last ice age and then the Earth will cycle back to another ice age era.

This theory assumes that the sun has a greater impact on climate than we do. IMHO it does.
