It is because global warming has altered the gulf stream and it is bringing cooler weather to Ruston - no ... that explains England.Quote:

It is because global warming does not explain spikes. Yea, that's the ticket.
You guys crack me up. You get a little cool snap and start singing non-sense.
Sooner and Dirty (anti-global warming in-laws),
Since i am fair and balanced, I have included a link from the "think tank", Competitive Enterprize Institute, that challenges the Times Magazine article from a few weeks back. It is 20 something pages of, I am sure, interesting reading.
http://www.cei.org/pdf/5288.pdf
But before you get settled in reading all of those pages, visit this site: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php...rise_Institute
Check out the donor list of contributors of over $10,000. Big names on there.
I remember somewhere in these many pages where I made the statement about seasonal allergies being worse due to GW and how the drug companies would be in bed with the oil. Looks like Pfizer realizes that too. A report also this week reported seasonal allergies as being much higher this year.
Chew on this fact for a while pulled from here: http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=2
Competitive Enterprise Institute has received $1,645,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998.
Now go fill up your SUV with 3 dollar a gallon gasoline so you can go pick up your allergy medicine from Wal-Mart.
Blah blah fear blah blah blah.Quote:

And as June 1 approaches, "we still feel that the first televised 'cone' of any hurricane's potential landfall that falls anywhere in the Gulf of Mexico will push gasoline prices much higher," he said in a note to clients.
Warm weather patterns in the Gulf of Mexico are raising concerns about this year's hurricane season.
"We are seeing frantic warming in the region, more so than normal this early," said trader Kevin Kerr, who edits Global Resources Trader, a newsletter published by MarketWatch, the publisher of this report.
"This does not bode well for the folks in the Gulf Coast. We could see a hurricane much earlier then we ever have before if these patterns continue."
Two coral reef species placed on endangered list due to hurricanes and higher water temperatures.

The gulf gets warm every year. That is why we have a hurricane "season." Some years it is warmer that others. That is why that bald guy from Florida runs a computer every year to see how many we can predict each year.Quote:

In the meantime, it is a normal temperature day for May today in Ruston. It is a little wet, but we hope to get a youth league game in today. I have a beautiful wife and four wonderful children. It is Friday.
I will go with Andy Andrews fifth decision:
"Today, I choose to be happy."

Politics has become a "fear" game, and I loath it.

Sooner, GW is not political.
Have you ever noticed how monkeys at the zoo are never worried about anything? :icon_winkQuote:

I know that this is not your point, but don't think for one second that I don't believe Republican's play the fear card. They do, and I hate that just as much as what the Dems do, and it is every bit as harmful to our country.Quote:

Sure, I want to know about these things, including "alleged" global warming.

So, I don't worry about it. I chose to THINK about things that are within my control. My days are much more productive that way.
Salty, are you kidding me? Global warming is the ultimate in politics. It is the left using fear to make policy changes. Unfortunately, like the AIDS scare, it is temporarily working. Every time I have to fill out one of those #$@$^ HIPPA releases, I curse the fear mongers.
Not only do the Repubs do it, they are the masters. Arkbob told everyone not to worry about GW because researching the problem and/or switching to more effecient fuels would "ruin our economy" . LOL.Quote:

As for not being able to affect global warming, you vote is a powerful tool to influence the rate of global warming. Not to mention personal choices in defining your carbon footprint.
Oh noooooooooooo, Mr. Bill!
You can't spell Global Warming without
