Few FReepers will admit theyre full of hot air. ;o)

P.S.
Feels good too!
Hideous here in GA, too.
We are paying for the cool, wet July.
Record high temps nearly every day all month. It’s supposed to bread to normal in a week or so, with more rain coming back.
*Crosses fingers...*
We are unbelievably happy that we got double paned windows in June.
Anyone who has taken freshman stat could tear huge holes in your post. One day, week, month, or year being colder or hotter than normal doesnt prove anything. Long term trends show warming. That is almost impossible to dispute. The questions that arent answered are whether it is within the bounds of natural cycles and what if any contribution humans have to it.
ROFLMAO!
Glad you are. I’m just posting goofy pix today, so I don’t sink into the depths of despair while I ponder what has become of US....
That little yellow tip right on the coast? That’s us—right in the bottom corner, just above Wilmington! If you’re not familiar with NC, it’s just at the bottom edge of the Outer Banks—the barrier islands just off the coast.
Read yest. that Wis? was getting 20” in a day’s time. Too bad we can’t spread it around some!
I was in Atlantic City yesterday and it was cold, dank, raning and miserable. Felt like Fall.
And here in Brooklyn it is cold and rainy. I’m glad because I can’t stand its usual horrid humidity and high temps.

...was that fahrenheit or centigrade? It was about the same in Kansas City.
Hot enough for all that rain we had earlier to become steam as it rises.....;^)
and how do you know what the “normal” temperature is supposed to be?
and also please tell me how you know what the temperature was 10,000 years ago when they invented the thermometer about 200 years ago.
Technically, long term trends show cooling. It all depends on where you begin for a comparison. Going back to Day 1 of the Earth, a period generally agreed to have been inhospitably hotter than today doesn't work for your argument. Go back instead to the day when life crawled out of the primordial ooze. Also a point likley substantially hotter than today. That doesn't seem to work well either does it?
If you propose to base your comparisons on today's temperatures with the end of the last ice age, you are probably correct. But I'd like the evidence substantiating your determination that during some period in the past, the Earth obtained an optimal climate against which today's climate is measured. When approximately was climatic nirvana and upon what factors is the conclusion based?
Do you have honeysuckles also?

Yep, and wild blackberries, wild blueberries and all that traditional “southern” stuff.
