    I figure scottfritos will be here to rant a little, eventually.

    I gotta agree about the whole wondering if it is really November - yesterday (Sat.) in Buffalo it reached 63 and today it is predicted that the high will be 61!!! If most of the leaves weren’t off the tress, I wouldn’t believe that it is November.

    Well in the southern hemisphere, at around 38 degrees south, in Melbourne, we’re in the middle of a run of about 7 predicted days over 30 (centrigrade) which hasn’t happened in November since 1902. I’m not looking forward to summer this year!

    It was warm here yesterday too and supposed to be today as well but then it’s getting cold. So we’re enjoying it while it lasts.

    @Michle, I read the strip three times before I noticed them. In my opinion, their significance is:


    1. Notice how easy it is to miss something if it’s not emphasized;


    2. They migrated north awfully fast - I mean, if they’re encouraged by global warming, this is ridiculous!


    3. Will all our trees lose all their foliage that’s below, say, 8 feet? And what other changes are to come?


    I read that grizzly bears and polar bears are genetically the same. They can interbreed. And guess which the cubs are? Well, considering that they never even meet their father, and their mother teaches them all about hunting, etc., what do you think?

    And the comment was made that grizzly bears wouldn’t be particularly affected by global warming, because they eat many different kinds of food. Polars bears basically eat seals. Now if they were taught how to catch fish, that might save them from starving!

    Anybody care to volunteer to show them how?

    We’re watching a hurricane make its way into the Gulf of Mexico. Is it really November?

    The giraffes signal that climate change is happening more rapidly and that these folk suddenly find themselves living in the savannah. Thus, better water the lawn. the jury on climate change is no longer out. It’s happening. Let’s make the necessary fixes to halt it now.

    The climate changes and we can do nothing to cause it or prevent it. Any of you ever see a wooly mamoth? Besides here in San Antonio were in the mddle of a cold spell. Not supposed to get above 75 today. They say by December we may have to switch from sandels to tennis shoes
