Normal high temperature for today in NJ is 42 degrees, today it hit 55 in Atlantic City
And Hanninazi says it's one of the coldest years on record.


Are these global warming denying assholes from another dimension?

1. But on Thursday the high in Atlantic City will only be 36!
6 degrees *below* normal! At which point the deniers will be proved correct!

2. I accept the global warm hypothesis as being so well proved that it is next to fact...
Buy todays temperature in Atlantic City is not proof. Run away melating of glaciers and ice caps is proof.

3. So 2009 being one of the 5 warmest years on record isn't proof?

7. For the whole world, yes. But for Atlantic City, one days temperature proves nothing...
Global warming can not predict nor be predicted by an extreme temperature in any single place. It can be measured by climactic changes over a large region or over the entire earth.

I see all kinds of stories from the right about some town having a record cold day, with the claim that one temperature reading in Shit House Falls North Dakota or Pusyhump hollow West Virginia disproves Global warming.


Now, if you look at the entire winter across the North East and can show that it is warmer there than ten years ago, that is evidence. Unprecedented melting of the Polar Ice cap and the Greenland Ice Cap are both predicted and proof of Global warming, as is an increase in annual global temperature. Data that show the warmest years on record are occurring in the last decade instead of occurring at random intervals throughout the record are proof of global warming. Climate records, not daily temperasture readings are proof. Extremes in both hot and cold records at specific areas will still happen.

One day, mocking the Pukes will again be fun here........

5. Do you think cow farts caused it?

I guess finding a Right-wing newspaper in the UK to dispute science is proof enough for you........

6. If you die from 'climate change'
will it make a difference who caused it?

10. There certainly are natural cycles - one of the many (mostly very poorly
reasoned arguments in that POS article) but the cycle we SHOULD be in right now, as evidenced by Greenland ice cores, is a COOLING cycle - but we are warming instead.

Why is that?

11. not "global warming" but "global climate change"
it will get warmer in places, but as polar ice caps melt, the temp of the oceans will start to fall, thus screwing up the weather and causing cooling and eventually an Ice Age.
