So what’s the big deal? Half of the world is spending Christmas in Summer, and it is lovely. Rejoyce in the fact that you are free to celebrate if you wish.
New York City was 60 degrees at six something this moring as the weatherman was getting his coffee, that’s warmer than my daughter in New Zealand will see today, in summer in the Southern Hemisphere. On the west coast, we in the northwest are finally getting snow after four years of extreme drought, so we welcome the El Niño effect.
The ‘toon is good, but there’s actually nothing funny about the truth of it.
denis1112[sigh] Now we have to deal with someone who doesn’t believe in the plate tectonics theory. Way back in my college days, this was controversial. I had a geology professor who didn’t believe that continents moved and ducked under one another. However, he did believe the theory was possible and important enough for us to know about it. Water depth can be from subduction as well as climate change, and since there are only a few places (“Ring of Fire” for instance) where human time-scale subduction is occurring, it must be the climate, like the non-bribed 97% of scientists say in peer-reviewed journal articles.

eugene57There is nothing like the culture shock of having those from Australia or Fiji waxing nostalgic over Boxing Day picnics.

This cartoon has been completely refuted by that senator that brought the snowball inside and threw it in the Senate.
