That must be why he uses them and Edelman?
Plausible denyability.... Ironic, no?

Don't confuse a basic question for a retarded answer.
Yes, I believe I covered that already:You should watch the dinner hour news where they bring up weather being driven by global warming daily.
I'm not confused. Your question was based on a stupid claim.
Yes.. My question is based on your claim.

And this was the start of over 1400 posts discussing what can be discussed in about 4 sentences. Yes, we have a spell of Global (polar) warming. While man may not be the cause his present activities aren't helping the situation and we have to change our ways or that will not be the only way the earth is destroyed. We do not know whether this is a permanent or temporary situation. Of course in the long run Mother Nature will take care of things- man is NOT supreme.
What have you physically done about it Tonituna?
Once again, going back to the beginning, my response was to Walt's article, where they claimed snow was not compatible. It clearly is. Then you changed it to attributing it to man made climate change, which I never said.
Is that they post where you claimed that higher temps cause more H2O in the atm and therefore why it is snowing... That post where you forgot the part that it takes colder temps to actually create the snow?
As the globe warms, more moisture is in the air. It's a feedback. Last year we set a global record for not only temperature, but moisture as well. It's continuing into 2011. American thinkers might have thought of that connection...if they were actually thinking seriously.
As for my questions, they are not contingent on whose post you were referring to. It's a fundamental question.
Increased precip is what is required to start an ice age too.Asking what baselines are needed to claim that the record snow is caused by anthropogenic climate change is not a fundamental question. It's a highly specific question in that it relates to a singular event. A fundamental question is whether or not global warming leads to more precipitation. The results from the research on the subject says yes. If our climate change was occurring with global cooling, the answer would be different. That is a fundamental question, because it relates to the climate system as a whole and the principles that govern it. You can't pluck out one observation from a dataset and proclaim that explaining it is a fundamental question of science.
You don't even know what fundamental means...

What I actually said:
I didn't think I would actually have to explain to anyone the seasonal cycle in precipitation patterns...

Like a snowcone? It gets licked up by penguins and melts in their mouths?Most of Antarctica is a dessert. Very little of the precipitation that does fall melts.
You really are thick...I wasn't explaining global warming. I was explaining why the quote I pulled from the American Thinker piece is retarded. And again, as I said earlier, I think it's dumb to attribute one weather event to anything. Including a record cold snap. It's not expected with global warming, but it's not impossible. You have a terrible time keeping these things straight. There are statistics involved, so I'm not surprised that you can't keep it straight. You have shown that you know even less about statistics than you do about science, which I thought would be hard to eclipse... But you just decided to leave out the "record cold" part of the equation in explaining Anthropogenic Global Warming.
My point had nothing to do with record temps.

I'm still wondering why Antarctic is a dessert?
Light sprinkles?Simple - precipitation less than 5" annually.
