[...] campaign on the rocks”. I took that opportunity to make the observation that momentum was clearly on John McCain’s side for the Republican nomination. I had no hard and fast data in my hands, just the God-given [...]

Sorry, Pedro, guess I should have been more specific when speaking to a scientific ignoramus like yourself:

Your one datapoint means nothing against the growing scientific consensus that global warming is real.

When Oliver points out instances of strange weather, they are anecdotal to be sure, but they still have value in reminding us of the reality of the global warming phenomenon (and the increasingly urgent need to do something about it).

I don’t expect that you’ll understand any of this, but it still needs to be said. Others with a bit more on the ball than you might be listening in.

Pedro looks outside in the winter and sees a snowflake…decision made.

You’re arguing over whether the sky is blue simply because Al Gore says it is. You’re an idiot.

Thank you wilbur, that was exactly my point. OW looks outside in the winter and sees a warm day…decision made. And yea Ollie, please don’t bother to develop a sound foundation for evaluating data. Just repeat after the ideologues like Gore, who drop in from their G5’s like one of your comic-book heroes and tell you what to think…Brilliant. In the meantime work hard in your cubicle….but understand that if the dems make it to the WH, they won’t have much use for you in one of those cushy political appointments without a degree…

Please. McCain is reviled by the republicans as much as Hillary is by democrats.
The clueless media has already deemed them the winners and basically tell us why vote in the primaries or even have primaries as they have been crowned king and queen by the media.
What they cannot understand, or will not, is both are equally on people’s shit list and not the oppositions alone.

I feel no pressing need to get a bachelors when there are so-called doctors as misinformed as you. My best friend is a doctor, yet he doesn’t hang around on blogs all day long. He’s got these things called “patients”. Real doctors tend to have them.

Pedro was so excited about his meaningless data point he had to hijack a thread to post it?

Elementary science, doctor: individual data points are meaningless void of context. One warm day doesn’t make an argument for global warming, one cold day doesn’t make an argument against it.

You probably don’t even know why you’re so dead set against the concept of climate change. It’s just a Talking Point so you have to have an Opinion about it, and it has to be the Officially Sanction Opinion.

Oliver maybe you should go ahead and get that bachelors degree…

The weather isn’t “scheduled”. It varies, and tends to vary around an average. Just remember that scientists twenty years ago were predicting another ice age. Twenty years is literally a blink of the eye in geologic terms. Once the weather guessers give me a good explaination for why the vikings were growing wheat in greenland back in the middle ages without internal combustion engines, maybe I will buy off on it…

Except this year is still on scheduled to be the hottest ever, breaking last years record, and the year before that.

I typed “1″ where I should have typed “11″, for that I must be punished.

PD, I actually read that as “asshole”. One of those things where the brain reads the bunch of letters and figures it out rather than reading each individual letter. Cool.
