Nope....
Taken by itself, the current heat wave is not out of the ordinary, said Don Whitlow, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego. It's summer. And it's hot.
“Natural cycles happen,” he said.
Whitlow said San Diego County's current heat wave is the result of a large high-pressure system that has stalled over the region.
There you have it.... STRONG HIGH PRESSURE.
Ping.... this was in my local paper this morning.
Professor Bob Carter comments on Al Gore and his hysterical fairytale titled “An Inconvenient Truth.”
“The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science,” says Carter, from the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia.
“Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention.”
Furthermore..........
“We've got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing, in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.” - Timothy Wirth, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs in the Clinton Administration
Given the fact that the other globes in our solar system appear to be warming too, I think we should be pointing fingers at the sun.
Is this the purpose of this piece, to further shove Gore's narcisstic mental masturbation down our throats?? And the "good reviews" of Gore's nonsense are from fellow liberals in the left wing amen chorus mainstream media. Their zombie like approbation of Gore's film is meaningless. It's a bunch of leftists touting another leftist.
By the way, $20 million is good box office? On what planet??? Even "Little Man," "Benchwarmers" and "Basic Instince 2" made more than that.
I believe that Global warming is a natural cycle and has happened before. The most reasonable "something-other-than-humans-caused" of global warming is that the sun's energy output is increasing, this would also explain Martian global warming. The martian polar caps are "melting" or "vaporizing" are not refreezing to former size. Worse, they are melting away at an alarming rate.
I just think the idea that just because it is warmer today that it ever has been in history on this particular day is stupid. History is really such a short time.
I am 59 years of age, and without fail every July/August in the northern hemisphere it has been hot. Sometimes very hot. I remember two years in a row, the plant that I was working at had electricity taken for rolling blackouts during out fiscal year end process which happens on August 1st. This is just not a unusually phenomenon.
If not that, then what caused temperature changes shown in these graphs? They show that Earth is in a brief period of global warming called an interglacial. The longer time spans, the deep troughs are glacial periods. The line that runs across the graphs is the temperature in 1950 and listed as "0" on the left axis.
I'm more concerned with sustaining global warming to offset global cooling and the next ice age.

How are you doing? Haven't seen rain like this in over a decade. The drought is OBVIOUSLY over. Summer temps seem reasonable. Should be a great tobacco crop on the right coast...
The kind of change the left has in mind is more envy driven taxes, regulation, and government programs.
But climate change will spur technology instead, and greatly benefit the mostly conservative voting male engineers that invent technology.
Just a few ideas:
Fog, cloud, and snow making machines that convert water into white heat management reflectors.
Fusion power.
Saltwater algae farms that absorb CO2 and emit oxygen or hydrogen fuel gas. The grown algae would be used for biodiesel and alcohol generation. Related to this, genetically engineered saltwater plants could become sea-cactuses, converting saltwater into unlimited freshwater.
It spurred a change with me.
I had some ice cream.
mmmmm global warming
You can talk people into anything these days. Of course, they are looking to be talked into something to worry about.
Interesting graphs. Thanks for posting them.
Cool.
It's hot because ......... It's Summer!
