The model suggests summers will be warmer across the U.S., but the central part of the country will warm less than the rest of the country...

...or maybe not.

The model suggests...

Gosh, I wonder if that model accounts for all possible variables?

Interesting that the usually boiling summer heartland will cool off, according to Iowa State.
We know things are changing but this suggests man has little to do with it.

So the temperature in Biloxi, Mississippi ten days from today will be?

If the climate is changing, you can't stop it over the next 50 years.

If we can't stop it, then we can't cause it.

The three have worked together on climate studies for 15 years.

Gutowski said the research groups have moved on to testing their models by running them with climate data from 1979 to 2004 and comparing the results to what actually happened.

Fifteen years and they're just now getting ready to predict what happened three years ago.

Woo Hoo!

"As you know, no simulation or forecast is perfect," he said.

Yeah, and some are completely wrong.

The research groups are now preparing to use data from global climate models to run climate simulations for the years 2040 to 2070.

Whoopty blankin' doo. We're saved!

Researchers Work To Track North American Climate Change

LOL!! Hehehehahaha.. This is too rich!

Looky here everyone, we researchers are tracking Climate Change - the new buzz words since both Global cooling and Global Warming didn’t fool enough people.

Climate change is more commonly called WEATHER, and tracking it transforms you fancy high brain powered research types into that guy that we commoners call "the weatherman."

LOL!

“The model suggests summers will be warmer across the U.S., but the central part of the country will warm less than the rest of the country.”

Living next door, I’d say it is going to be somewhat HOT!

Just ask the folks forecasting hurricanes.

I'm about 130 miles east of Biloxi. It was 95 degrees with 80% humidity this morning at 9AM. Just brutal.

"There is no question now that the climate is changing on a global scale"

This is similar to saying there is no question now that the season is changing on a global scale. Once the cycle returns to a colder climate, we will likely not be able to support 6 billion people with North America under 2 miles of glaciers.

I’m just jealous I didn’t think of this great idea to receive long term funding.
