I would personally be very glad to see the discussion go from proving the existence of AGW to what we need to do about it. It is frustrating that a small group of people are blocking action on something that affects the entire planet.Christopher Keatinghttp://dialoguesonglobalwarming.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-83558331169526608322015-02-28T18:33:01.764-05:002015-02-28T18:33:01.764-05:00The 30-year-view approach in this article seems li...The 30-year-view approach in this article seems like it could be a good way of talking about climate change to avoid many of the denialist incorrect talking points, and enable the conversation to more quickly get to the important issues of actions to take. <br />http://theconversation.com/lets-call-it-30-years-of-above-average-temperatures-means-the-climate-has-changed-36175David Greenbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-6712739208230987902015-02-28T10:01:55.582-05:002015-02-28T10:01:55.582-05:00You are right when you say it's easy to prove ...You are right when you say it's easy to prove him wrong. I always tell people we're talking about 'global' warming, not Boston warming or even eastern U.S. warming. But there are two major problems with Inhofe. The first being he has a big stage and people listen to him. The other problem is he has the power to act.Christopher Keatinghttp://dialoguesonglobalwarming.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-29397983484745947692015-02-28T04:08:17.376-05:002015-02-28T04:08:17.376-05:00Inhofe's argument is so easy to defeat using e...Inhofe's argument is so easy to defeat using exactly the same logic that he uses.<br /><br />If we are having record cold in this part of the world, you can be sure that somewhere else, they are having record warm. You just type "record high temperatures" into a Google news search and you will invariably find that somewhere else on the globe they are suffering through unseasonably warm temperatures. For example, here is are some headlines from other parts of the world:<br /><br />1. Alaska: "In Anchorage, Tuesday's temperature reached an official high of 44 degrees, which broke the previous mark of 43 degrees for that date set in 1984. In some parts of the city, unofficial temperatures approached 50 degrees Tuesday."<br /><br />"Kotzebue reached a new maximum high at 37 degrees and a new daily minimum of 33 degrees. The old maximum temperature record was set more than 100 years ago, in 1903, at 31 degrees."<br /><br />In Alaska, it is currently so warm and there has been so little snow fall, that the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race has to be moved.<br /><br />2. Hawaii: "Light winds helped temperatures at the Honolulu Airport rise to 86 degrees Monday, breaking the old record for the date of 85 set in 1996. Lihue Airport also tied a high temperature record of 83 degrees set in 1980."<br /><br /><br /><br />I've found the climate deniers have a terrible time with the concept of "average." They either deliberately ignore it or genuinely don't understand it. I'm leaning toward the conclusion that they genuinely don't understand it, because they don't seem to understand it in other areas of study like economics.elfishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-87755297752385622992015-02-27T22:30:11.796-05:002015-02-27T22:30:11.796-05:00In the words of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade...In the words of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, you chose well.Christopher Keatinghttp://dialoguesonglobalwarming.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-14367264056938070972015-02-27T22:26:35.104-05:002015-02-27T22:26:35.104-05:00I was going to use a photo of my hens up to their ...I was going to use a photo of my hens up to their necks in vetch and flowers, but I realized I was just asking for abuse.Constant Gardenernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-61982927612118468192015-02-27T21:27:14.920-05:002015-02-27T21:27:14.920-05:00That's good laugh for a Friday night.
