Being unable to distinguish between climate and weather does not fill me with confidence that the speaker understands anything about climate change. David That's the knee jerk argument. I don 't understand that comment. What is knee-jerk about saying a person who doesn't understand the difference between weather and climate is ignorant? What is knee-jerk about wanting my representatives to be perceptive and informed? My skepticism comes in as to how much weather change is man made vs just what mother nature does. Weather does change all the time. We need to consider if the earth's climate is changing and if so why. These are two different issues. We hear other planets in our solar system are also warming and I don't think anybody there are driving SUV's. Where did you hear that? Assuming for moment that the climate was changing on other planets from natural causes why would that show that climate is not changing on earth from human causes? We know that the earth's climate has changed in the past naturally and it may well do so again. That by itself says nothing about whether it *is* doing so naturally this time. This question has been much studied and there is considerable evidence available that points to the cause this time being human activity. David Weather vs climate is what I call knee jerk reaction as that is always the reason given. I understand it. Do some research on the other planets warming. See what you find on the internet. Heartland Institute, which is anti, has a very intriguing study on US earth bound temperature measurement stations where about 90% are out of specs, e.g. originally out in a field, away from buildings and now surrounded by them. Also see what they say about the carbon dioxide correlation. Satellite data has been showing cooling. Look it up. If you want to see the mindset that drives the global warming crowd, read Michael Crichton's novel, "State of Fear". There are those that profit from the "crisis." I like a good novel. http://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=12457&tid=282&cid=13366 Bill being a long haired leaping gnome likes visions like. http://www.amazon.com/Ecotopia-Ernes...2019/ref=ntt_a t_ep_dpi_1 -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/757.html What is Global Dimming??
