Yes, obviously mountains have something to do with it. I posted as much before you chimed in. I'd love to hear from you though how you can have an avalanche without snow, which this particular area of Arizona receives plenty of...though apparently you were not aware of.

Yes I realize that. But I doubt that the fact that the post was a joke means you didn't believe that alcohol is an effective germicide. It's a very popular myth because many people don't understand microbiology. And more seriously, alcohol impairs immune function. Can't count the number of...

Yes, exactly.

The alcohol wiped on your arm doesn't kill germs. That's a myth. When it evaporates it creates aerosols that lift the germs off of your skin, so that when the needle breaks your skin there are little to no microbes there to cause an opportunistic infection. In order to kill bacteria for instance...

Flagstaff, Arizona gets more snow each year than Boston. In fact it more than doubles Bostons annual average: Snowfall - Average Total In Inches Flagstaff gets on average 100.3 inches of snow each year. Boston gets 60.3 inches on average. In fact, it even receives more snow than Denver, with...

Humphrey's Peak Arizona: Yes, Arizona has mountains! I wouldn't have thought that should be surprising...:-P

:lol: Heh, unpublished research. I wouldn't get too excited about unpublished output from one climate model yet. When they use the 250 years of data up to 2000, they get a climate sensitivity of 3.9°C for a doubling of carbon dioxide. But adding just 10 more years drops it to 1.9°C. Ten years...

Satanists Plan Rally in Support of Florida Gov. Rick Scott - ABC News The Satanic Temple is planning its first major rally, which will be held in support of Florida Gov. Rick Scott later this month for -- which might sound ironic -- signing a bill that allows for the possibility of prayer in...

So which solar cycle is causing warming in the lower atmosphere, but cooling the upper atmosphere? You're going to need some creative physics to explain that one. Never heard of orbital cycles?

And what cycles are you referring to that cause the upper atmosphere to cool while the lower atmosphere warms? I've told you before, you need evidence. You can't just invoke some imaginary cycle. I'm sure it's real in your mind...but for the rest of us, we require evidence of your fairy cycles.

Falling towards the sea, yes it is in fact. To top it all off, that is in fact a prediction of climate change caused by enhanced greenhouse warming. It comes from first principles. Some reading for you if you can crawl out from under the tinfoil: J. Lastovicka, R. A. Akmaev, G. Beig, J...

How about sea rising but land not subsiding? As for negative numbers, that's going to happen. There is no time series anywhere in the climate system that shows a monotonic rise. The La Nina associated weather in South America, Australia and Southeast Asia caused a big dip in 2010. That La Nina...

In some places both. Depends on where it is you're asking about. Globally, the sea water is rising and expanding.

I'm glad to see you've come around.

DG, just like in the thread about someone's ranting about illness and disease, we have trained scientists who study this, so that matters of fact are not matters of personal belief.

Oh those 'skeptics'. Witness the contortions to this bit of news: U.S. experiences warmest and second most extreme weather year ever recorded in 2012 - Capital Weather Gang - The Washington PostNOAA’s National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) officially crowned 2012 the warm weather king today for...

Aaron Swartz, the co-founder of Reddit, who contributed to the sharing of knowledge through the development of RSS web feeds, an activist who worked to expose SOPA, committed suicide on January 11, 2013. He was charged by the US Attorney's Office in Boston with 13 felony counts for illegally...

I've already demonstrated you're factually challenged. Indeed, why stop now?

And if the perspiration gets to be too much, remove the tinfoil hat! :lol:
