I am still wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I was just watching the sunset (with a cold one) of course. I had to come in and put on off mosquito repellant!

I was reading somewhere that someone born in 1985 has NEVER experienced a record low temperature.
But, we've had record highs almost EVERY year since.

Not to mention an increased number of hurricanes, droughts, massive deaths of honey bees, etc.

How f*cked-up do things have to get before global warming deniers pull their head out of their ass?

But Its warm, keeping my head up in my ass... Its why I'll never experience record lows.

Global Warming - None Like It Hot!

Mike, you are a smart guy WWWwaaaaayy smarter than me. Having said that you should understand that the earth has been warming since the end of the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago. It is a scientific FACT that the earth goes thru periods of ice age and warming. Brother please don't insist I get rid of my big ole (gas guzzling) truck! I personally think that you (smart guys) are a little arrogant in the area of science. You see some of us "common folks" believe that mankind just ain't that significant. The arrogance comes into play when one believes they are actually in "control" of the big picture specifically the earth and universe! Face it brother "we ain't that big a deal" REALLY!

all you have to do is look at the Jurassic period or Paleozoic or Mesozoic and see their climates were warm enough for dinosaurs to live in Alaska.. so I just write it off as a natural cycle like Jeff said..

One more thing, I am 54 years old. I have lived my entire life in the Greater Houston area. In the first 46 years of my life I saw snow in the Houston area twice. Both times it NEVER exceeded 4 inches. In the last 8 years I have seen more snow here than the first 46 years combined. I voted for Al Gore in 2000 all I can say is thank GOD Bush won DAMN I didn't like him either but I cringe thinking of the communism that we would be ruled by had Gore won and 9/11 happened Brrrr! Just that thought scares the HELL out of me!

I think Mike is joking Dizz?

Oops! Balderdash alert MN.

Your first sentence is patently false:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state ... e_extremes

The rest is unsupported political rhetoric and unrelated to climate science.

Fact: The earth has been in a warming trend since 1700 as we exit the LIA. Long before significant manmade GHGs which according to IPCC AR4 WG1 began to have a measured effect in the 1970s.

Fact: Increased manmade GHGs must cause warming at some level (this is the part most scientists agree on). We just don't know how much warming (no agreement here). Error bars in IPCC AR4 are as big as all outdoors and essentially tell us nothing.

Fact: History tells us that when it was warmer and the seas were higher in the past, nature and mankind thrived:

Climate science is complicated.

I dont worry about global warming...I wont be alive or around when it the ocean starts to boil.

That's okay.
All the refugees from hurricane ravaged states can come live with you.

I'm all for it,
I hate winter anyway.

If humanity is to survive long-term, it must find a way to get off planet Earth — and fast, according to famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking.

* Stephen Hawking aliens warning: Should we hide?
* Stephen Hawking alien warning: Could we talk to them?
* Moon base: Location, location, location

In fact, human beings may have less than 200 years to figure out how to escape our planet, Hawking said in a recent interview with video site Big Think. Otherwise our species could be at risk for extinction, he said.

"It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand or million," Hawking said. "Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward-looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space."

Humans stuck on Earth are at risk from two kinds of catastrophes, Hawking said. First, the kind we bring on ourselves, such as possible devastating impacts from climate change, or nuclear or biological warfare.

A number of cosmic phenomena could spell our demise, too. An asteroid could slam into Earth, killing large swaths of the population and rendering the planet uninhabitable. Or a supernova or gamma-ray burst near our spot in the Milky Way could prove ruinous for life on Earth.

Life on Earth could even be threatened by an extraterrestrial civilization, Hawking has pointed out on his Discovery Channel television series, "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking."

Dangerous aliens may want to take over the planet to use its resources for themselves, he said in the series. It would be safer for the survival of our species if we had people living on other worlds as a backup plan, Hawking proposed.

"The human race shouldn't have all its eggs in one basket, or on one planet," he told Big Think. "Let's hope we can avoid dropping the basket until we have spread the load."
