Chairman, for some people it doesn't matter. My liberal sister was griping about the cold weather over the weekend. I commented that I believed we were entering an ice age and that an inter-glacial period was ending.

She replied that"well, this global warming causes erratic weather."

I pointed out that we have had no sun spots and that the global temperature average was decreasing, and she STILL is going with the party line.

And I have a degree in geology with courses in climatology, glacial geology, and geomorphology! But hey, what do I know when St. Albert of Gore pontificates!

And this amatuer meteorologist, whose been playing around with the subject for almost 40 years, would agree with you.

I've not experienced an overall summer as cool as this one in the 22 years I've lived in the Washington area.

In the first year I lived in the Washington area, the high temp for the year was 106.

Haven't seen a century mark now for a couple of years. I think (haven't really counted) the total number of 90+ days this year are less than 10. We had one 98 degree day, but otherwise, the 90+ days have been just over 90 degrees.

We had upper 70 degree days in July for the high.

We had coastal, non-tropical, storms in late June (this is a "winter" phenomenon) -- unheard of. So, naturally, global warming is to blame. Silly me. :)

You have your liberal sister....I have a liberal sister-in-law who was actually mourning Ted Kennedy, because he has been her favorite (her words) for years and years because he took care of the downtrodden :^

She is over the top with him, always has been....and though we disagree (greatly) she will get angry when we voice this....angry, angry....

Unfortunately it's those kinds of people who won't listen to reason...(she can't stand Glenn Beck)...

This woman (& her husband) wouldn't even enter the church when my mom died...(she doesn't believe in 'regulated religion'....)

Even when invited, she won't attend anything having to do with a church function, even if her only niece is part of the program.

We pray for her and try to be civil, but it can be a strain.
