Global warming must have been invented by a Telemarketer.....

Well, it's was known about well before telephones or televisions were used to market products...your conspiracy would have to go back really far! :lol:

Re: Extreme heat, drought have ‘virtually no explanation other than climate change’

So you now admit it's a scam? PROGRESS!!!

Didn't I say, "let's see, people discuss, plan, and buy stock, shares, or commodities in the belief that such actions will help push prices up so that they can profit at others expense. " so there are scams, but what the it is, in your "... it's a scam?" is important because I wouldn't want anyone to think that AGW or attempts to alleviate, prevent, or mitigate for that "it" is a scam. But sure anytime there is a bunch of money stacked up there will be financial wizards trying to figure out how they can benefit from it.

Such as

How do you make money on a 600% mark up using unreliable means of generation?

I expect you and all them other financial wizards to just keep trying. The point of my earlier comment about building a business providing proven, local, and reasonably priced alternatives doesn't have the same cachet though does it. :):) When people are bent on making excessive amounts of money such as those in our electrical and oil businesses reduced expectations sound like treason.

When citizens are half brainwashed into believing everything the statements
can become more outrageous as time goes on. We should be careful to see
if this is global warming or a weather event that might not be like this for years.
We have hot temperatures and cold temperature recorded in the world and all
of them came from times before now.
The dirty thirties were bound to repeat themselves at some point and this is the
year it returned. We will see storms worse and cold temperatures that will be
colder in future.
the problem is we relate everything to our lifetime, depending on the generation
that is in the majority. We have to seen drought like this in our lifetime but it has
been as severe in the past we were not here to experience it. I am still waiting to
see some facts that its global warming.

How do you plan on making money from a business that will forever be trying to recoup equipment cost from equipment that wears out long before they can even pay for themselves, let alone labour and admin costs.?? You want to use taxpayer money?

It is a weather anomaly, this afternoon, on CNN they were saying its hot its a
drought but it was worse in 1936. That's right it was hotter in the Midwest in
36, so what was that all about? Yup a weather anomaly and it went on for a
few years not just one. That is why they called it the Dirty Thirties and we
coined words such as the Dust Bowl.
I believe the climate is changing to some degree, and it may get worse or better.
It is a natural cycle in the history of the world and we have to adjust. People
want to make big news out of natural happenings because it is profitable to do so.
Profitable for environmentalists who get to collect all kinds of funding.
Profitable for business as they can invent new products with huge profit margins.
Profitable for governments because they can look like they are doing something,
and besides jumping on the bandwagon is good for votes and distracts from the
real problems.
Education has something to sell to children that all is going to hell in a hand basket.
and citizens can come together and do something worth while.
Its like the metal and rubber collection during WWII all that stuff ended up in a land
fill but hey it brought people together.
It is a weather happening it is not the end of the world as we know it

Well, you can believe anything you like. Believing does not make it accurate.

Whatever it is it's probably temporary, it doesn't matter what the phenomenum is there is always someone with the answers..........guess they have to prove they know something. :lol: Whatever it is we'll probably have other concerns in a year or so.

here on the island we had our typical 6 to7 days of extra hot days, then back to our normal summer
of nice sunny days, warm not hot.

nothing has changed over the years in this area.

today is warm, light ocean breeze, I was at the ocean for lunch, beautiful temperature, about 25 - give or take.
I hated that intense heat, glad its gone, lots of people say they like it, but they don't stay in
it, they find shelter, or go swimming where one can cool off.

Obviously you don't weld in the sun for the better part of the day, 5 days a week.
I worked at a steel mill on the furnaces for a year. Going outside to 35C is refreshing. Heat isn't so bad but when you tack on the humid dick it's a little sticky but endurable.

The multinationals and non profit societies changed the climate change thing
to Global warming in order to have a new round of replenishing their funding
sources.
There is nothing to suggest we have a problem that we can do anything about.
All this forcing people to change the way they live and buy into new technology
is dealing with someone Else's personal beliefs as well. I chose to continue the
way I always have. Of course if something makes sense and does good for the
environment around me or it is economically beneficial up to a point of course I
will adapt.
As for getting into a little tiny car because it saves gas or giving up my Chev truck
ain't gonna happen. Zealots of all kinds attempt all kinds of change. We have
out of control environmentalists that want to ban weed control well I have a licence
to spray and a farm to spray it on.
There are all kinds of condo Nazi's that insist we live according to their opinion,
and now we have people who want to clutter the road with bikes and we can't
enjoy life the way we used to.
I am fed up with the lot of them. They don't want oil exploration but they want good
jobs they don't want to damn the rivers but they want electric power. and so on.
I agree we should not be doing things in a manner that has an adverse affect on our
surroundings where possible, The fact is we can sacrifice ourselves on the alter of
environmentalism and in one hour the Chinese will destroy any progress we made in
a decade.
