Problem is, though, if "global warming" were true, a cooler summer would be impossible. Period. That single summer exists entirely as evidence, because it defies everything that global-warming activists insisted about global warming before it ever happened.

Not to mention the winter before also.

Funny that the activists make other claims now. They know it contradicts what they'd been saying, so they try explaining it away another way.

 

Additionally, the world goes through phases. Historically, we've seen trends as far back as records go where the world would go through natural warming and cooling phases. These phases last something like one and a half to two decades, I believe. This effectively explains everything we've been seeing for the past umpteen years regarding "global warming". Don't believe me? In five to ten years, check the daily temperatures. Should be below average.

That's completely false.  That's like saying that the same evolutionary adaptation occuring more than once in nature is impossible because it is statistically improbable.  But that is blatantly disproved by actual data.  Mammals and birds evolved four-chambered hearts independently of each other and birds and bats evolved wings completely independently of each other.  The evolutionary model says this is extremely unlikely, but the model is still true even though these deviations have occurred.

Just because a model predicts that something is less likely to occur does not mean that is impossible or that the deviation from the prediction disproves the model.  In math, sometimes a function crosses an asymptote at one or two points, but as the function approaches infinity it moves infinitely closer to the asymptote without ever touching it.  You are completely ignoring the fact that statistical deviations in science are extremely common and do not automatically disprove theoretical models.

For someone who claims to know a lot of about global warming, you sure as hell know very little about science in general.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
