From now one you'll see more and more "could indicate global warming" crap.

Thanks, I saw that article initially, ended up posting this one.

It's pretty cool stuff in the skies regardless what or who is causing it. ;-)

Of course, you're right. And this seemingly benign, but purposeful device, can be used to promote the enviro-whacko agenda.

To head off the effectiveness, I suggest that this phrase be used for everything that you need to explain. For example:

• I came home from dinner last night. My stomach was really hurting and I couldn't stop sweating. It's probably the 4-alarm chili that I had...or, it could indicate global warming.
• I had to mow the lawn the other day and, man, I was sweating like crazy. I could be that it is because I live in Floriday and it's July, but it also could indicate global warming.
• I have this really bad itch in a very private place...it could be the effects of those Tijiuana hookers I met while on vacation, or it could indicate global warming

See? No matter how ridiculous, it seems to fit.

And, ah, for the record, I have never been to Tijiuana. [wink]

At minus 189 degrees Fahrenheit?

So, let me get this straight. "Some of the coldest temperatures on Earth brought a rare cloud formation..."
are caused by "global warming"????? This whole warming thing is anti-intuitive.

[RockinRight]

Yeah. I can see how temperatures of 120 below can indicate global warming. Yup...makes sense to me.

I posted above before reading your link; the two don't mesh from earlier analyses of the reaction since the effect is so localized that global warming is more like "noise" at those altitudes and latitudes.

The earlier studies allowed that the presence of PSCs magnified the ordinary decay of Freon by orders of magnitude in the hundreds.

Curiously, the ozone hole has been more or less going back and forth whenever anyone takes the time to notice it lately and has almost completely dropped off the radar screen of the catastrophists with the rising cry of the crisis developing by the melting of the poles and the near-term preicted disappearance of the Greenland's icepack.

The first witnesses to the Los Alamos grand test were struck by the beauty of its structure and brilliance, as well.
