Earth's most prominent rainfall feature creeping northward

I was wondering why the pythons on Florida were headed north. Silly me, it’s global warming, of course! ;-)

Or the BIG ice age?

That's far outside the scope of the article.

300 years ago? How did George Bush manage that?

(Rove must have a time machine and a weather machine!)

That's far outside the scope of the article.

So is reality.

LOL! You made spit on my monitor.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Dolphins, too.

If true, it follows that the southern hemisphere being rain deprived is cooling.

If extra rain causes warming then it follows that less rain will result in cooling.

I don't think so. I think you're considering only what you wish to.

We're all gonna DIE!!

You may have a point.

If true, it follows that the southern hemisphere being rain deprived is cooling.

According to this, the rain band should have been in the northern hemisphere for, at the least, million of years.

there are a couple more good videos.

Or not below the equator, anyway.

Thanks for the link..., I’ve got them marked and will check it out...

I'm not arguing for the sake of it. I didn't ping steelyourfaith or xcamel because there's more to this than the bow to AGW. I did ping SunkenCiv because this has implication for past human migrations.

It has always been amazing to me that since the creation of the Earth climate has changed but now in the past decade it is all our fault.

[Star Traveler]

Exactly!

I was talking to someone just yesterday about that. They were talking about Holland and how they had protected their lowlands from the sea, by their various projects over the years.

I pointed out how the Vikings had settled Greenland during a much warmer period of time (a whole lot warmer than now) and that this never caused any problems for Holland (any more than it has now) from the sea level rising during this extremely warm period in our recent history.

Greenland had a lot less ice then, than it does now. And all that melted ice did not cause the oceans to rise and Holland to become “inundated” by the sea, any more than what they’ve been dealing with all along.

He didn’t have too much to say about that one... LOL...

"The rain band near the equator that determines the supply of freshwater to nearly a billion people throughout the tropics and subtropics has been creeping north for more than 300 years, probably because of a warmer world, according to research"

"The prospect of additional warming because of greenhouse gases means that situation could happen even sooner"

They have all become corrupt and insane. The writer and editor probably never once saw the intellectual conflict within their first two paragraphs.

Like we can stop it and if it’s been moving this way for 300 years, that was way before the industrial revolution and the automobile.

[envisio]

300 years ago.

Bush’s fault

Nah, man. George Washington's fault. Wait.... he wasn't born yet.
Colonists fault! Yeah, burning those damn streetlamps.
