    Take that global warming. Here in Indiana it's hard not to belive in global warming. It was 50 degrees on Christmas, and 45 degrees through January. The year before we were covered in twenty inches of snow. Through winter this year every two weeks it drop to 35 degrees, then a storm would come through (so I had to turn off my computer and civ) and it would go up ten degrees. The worst one of the storms was the storm that generated the November 6 tornado that you may have heard of.
    Any climatologist who tells you that a warmer than usual winter is caused by global warming, is clearly one of those that Al Gore has in his pocket Even the most 'green' climatologists believe it's a very subtle change, taking years to warm up by a single degree C.

      My only cautionary note would be that the 24th is the day it SHIPS; it won't be on shelves until the 25th most likely.
      That's fine - I can't start my leave on the 24th anyway.

        The weather here is crazy. Sometimes it's -10 degrees in Feburary, and by May it's 100 degrees. Some winters we get 30 inches of snow the next we only get 5. the average winter temperture is 20-25 degrees. A 20 degree temperture change is hardly what I call a warmer than usally winter. The three major factories (one of which being an Alcoa plant) ecourage a belife in global warming. The winter of 05-06 was much crazier than usual.

          I can second this, from Michigan's point of view.

          In Feb. this year we had a week that went from 15F on Sunday to 75F on Wednesday to 30F on Saturday.

          That's a one week span.

          I don't know if it's global warming but it's drivin' me nuts.

            I don't belive in global warming. I belive that it's just 1000 year weather patterns. 1000 years ago you could grow grapes in England. The wine was considered just as good as french wine.

              I did not know that- that IS good news.

                    I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                            I believe that the global temperature does drift upwards and downwards over long periods, there is lots of empirical evidence of that. Where I have trouble drinking the kool-aid is when they try to pin temperature changes on man-made pollution, specifically pollution coming from the West (the Kyoto treaty ignores the one of the world's leading polluters -- China).

                              No sun would cause a great deal of freezing.

                              It was french wine. Eleanor of Aquitane brought the grapes over from France herself.

                                This is actually a common mistake. Well developed life insurance markets did not appear until the the mid 13th century.
