The weather god must be angry.

Did you offer firstfruit and the weekly sacrifice to your sky god, wherever
you are?

You did? Then they must be servicing this 40" refractor near where you live.

Seriously, assuming you are in the States, that's not as bad, as, say, when
I was a student in Chicago. It was *June 2* when it snowed there once, I
think, some year between 1983-1990.

Eventually, _everything_ is understandable

What makes you think that the snow is not a reflection of global
warming? Indeed snow along the southern edges of Canada and the
northern US while at the same time warmer temperatures along the
southern US and northern Mexico is exactly the signal you would expect
if there was global warming. Meteorologists have understood this for a
long time. The poles get colder and the equator gets warmer to restore
the radiation balance. The much colder than normal air from the poles
move south causing snow in the south, while the much warmer than normal
air from the equator goes north melting the polar ice cap. That's
straight from Meteorology for non-majors (MET-099)

As Alfred E Neuman from Mad Magazine used to say "What? me worry?" The
earth's energy balance will reach equilibrium again and the earth will
still be here. A more important question is will there be war between
those countries that have become uninhabitable and those that still are
inhabitable and will they use CBW?

My guess is ANY weather pattern could be defended by
the zealots who believe in the reality of "global
warming" as evidence of it."
When the next great ice age hits (you know, those
weather patterns that we DO know happen from time
to time?) they'll figure out some way to blame
that on fossil fuels and global warming too.

snip ...yawn.

Down here it snowed in the Texas panhandle the other night. 5 inches. In
the southern US. Latitude 35N. Near northern Mexico. I'm sure that's
somehow because of global warming, too.

Looks more like divine punishment to me. Why hasn't Texas' school board
outlawed climatology yet?

We're *working* on it. As Shakespeare said, "First thing we do, let's
kill all the weathermen." (Henry the Sixth, IV, ii)

'Cause they're afraid someone will confuse it with cosmetology, and if'n
it was good enough for mama it's good enough fer her little sister daughter.

Actually the thing to remember is that Global warming is well Global;
there are always ways that local weather could end up colder but as long as
the average Global temperatures continue to increase we have global warming.
Average Global Temperatures have certainly been on an upward trend in recent
decades regardless of whether fossil fuels are to blame.

Just one final thought for irony; one potential impact of global warming is
that Gulfstream will shut down. If that happened Europe would have much
colder winters than they do now (Think Russia).
