The disaster will be the cost. Incredible cost. Never before seen costs.
And for insurance (since they aren't positive).

The weather is changing but I would just call it global extreme temperatures. Most of the year was very cold and this summer has been very hot.

LINK "This temperature update presents the NASA satellite measurements of monthly temperature anomaliesthe difference between the observed values and the 19791998 mean values. Global satellite measurements are made from a series of orbiting platforms that sense the average temperature in various atmospheric layers. Here, we present the lowest level, which matches nearly perfectly with the mean temperatures measured by weather balloons in the layer between 5,000 and 28,000 feet. The satellite measurements are considered accurate to within 0.01 deg C and provide more uniform coverage of the entire globe than surface measurements, which tend to concentrate over land.
"June 2002: The global average temperature departure was 0.20 deg C; the Northern Hemisphere temperature departure was 0.217 deg C; and the Southern Hemisphere departure was 0.183 deg C.
"Below: Monthly satellite temperatures for the Northern Hemisphere (top) and Southern Hemisphere (bottom). Trend lines indicate statistically significant changes only.

global temperature variations during the past century are virtually all due to the variations in solar activity. The Sun causes temperatures on Earth to increase? Who'd a thunk it?
All this time, I thought it was my SUV that caused the seasons to change.

Your right I don't think its due to anything men have done either but I must say I don't like the changes. It was like the artic most of the year and now it feels like Louisana here.

The global warming debate continues, without fail, every summer. Go figure.

I know what you mean. This afternoon, we had a thunderstorm in my neck of New Jersey.
I was very scared, as I couldnt recall moisture falling from the sky like that.
Somebody told me they call it rain. My dirt-lawn will be thrilled to see it.

Unless I need new glasses, the upper graph shows clearly that temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere have been rising steadily.
The cause of this phenomenon is something else entirely. At this point, anyone who tells me with the air of certainty that man-made emissions are the culprit, will be considered a charlatan.
However, they cannot be ruled out either. But crippling industry (Kyoto) should not be done before convincing evidence is in, and before a cost-benefits analysis is conducted. The cure might still turn out to be worse than the disease.

I think if this data was matched to the 11-year sunspot cycle,
the result would be a much better match than to the shown
straight line.

The enviro's were hoping to secure treaties, legislation and control of most everything before enough time went by for the flawed science to be apparent.
The idea is to present political dogma as "scientific" fact. If enough poitico/pseudo-scientists agree then the rest better fall inline - if they value a career and credibility.
It's been done for a century with pronounced effects on our society. If you can get just one generation to accept enviro-whaco theories.....

I read a story that said that the hole in the ozone layer was reported long before freon was invented and those liars @ the EPA convinced us to change.What's in it for the EPA with this again another lie about a global warming trend?A
political and financial gain for those in EPa seems to be a certain reality>one thing is for sure,you can't get all those climatologists to agree that a warming trend is going on.
To: tictoc
Unless I need new glasses, the upper graph shows clearly that temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere have been rising steadily. Don't sweat it. Those charts are utterly meaningless. They show temperature variations over a 23 year period. The Earth has been experiencing "weather" for billions of years.
23 years isn't a sample set...it's a data point. Statistically worthless.
