#2 We're on the beach in NE Florida and we have had 2 weeks of NE winds, rain, squalls, more rain, more squalls and heavy surf. At least it has chased the "red tide" out of here which was as bad as the west-coasters have said it would be. I blame Bush and will not vote for him next year.

#3 When the weather professionals can't get it right one week in advance and the hurricane professionals can't get it right one season in advance, you've got to be a blithering idiot to believe that Al Gore can predict anything one decade in advance.

#6 Re: #4 - climate change has been politicized beyond recognition, for sure.

That said, if you heat a pot of water very rapidly, as the overheated parts rise cold water will sink. In other words, for a period the temperature in some areas will *drop* as a result of the heating activity.

That's what is claimed IIUC re: local lower temps and global warming.

#7 If it is seems abnormally hot: global warming.
If it is really abnormally cold: side effect of global warming.

Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
2+2=5. BECAUSE OF THE CONSENSUS!!!!1!!!one!!!

#8 I just kinda wish Noel would wander on up to Georgia and the other drought stricken regions for a bit. We'd love to share the wealth right now in Brevard County. ;)
