    That's funny given that you're the one who is wrong in this case.

      What's funny is that my comment was directed at reg.

      One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

      • The Al Gore thing was just a glib remark. I don't seriously think the local weather I experience has jack **** to do with global warming. Using local weather as "evidence" leads to a lot of disgusting circular reasoning.

        However, the weather here does make me wish global warming would happen faster

                That's what I was thinking but I hadn't seen anything yet. Thanks.

To suggest that Haiyan was influenced by global warming isn't wrong, though it's reasonable to debate how much affect it had, but to suggest that this freeze is a refutation is completely and utterly incorrect.


                    Also, in general, being wrong about something doesn't mean you can't tell someone else they are wrong about another thing, that's not logical.

                    But yes, evidence is in averages. To suggest an event is or isn't caused by global warming is wrong thinking. As I said before all weather systems are occurring in a warmer (therefore more energetic) and wetter atmosphere, so all weather events are inevitably affected.
                    You're missing the point. You can't link an individual event and its severity to global warming since there's just no way of knowing whether it'd happened without global warming, but this is exactly what a lot of people are doing. And by doing that they give room for detractors of global warming to also use individual events (that at least have the appearance of refuting global warming), or the lack of events, to deny global warming. Shouting "Haiyan is because of global warming" degrades the quality of the debate to a level where deniers are on firmer foot, as weather is highly irregular regionally and in the short term. The Atlantic hurricane season was the quietest since 1950, for instance.

                      There are some good indicators out there that Winds of Winter will be released in 2014.
                      A good friend of George R.R. Martin has said (most probably by accident) that George had one new episode almost finished.
                      He has also cleared up his schedule for the next coming months.
                      There is more.

                      So let's go with the 2014 release for Winds of Winter, and then a 2017 release for Dream of Spring (same 3 year gap)
                      Then we have:
                      2014: Season 4: Book 3b / Book 6 released
                      2015: Season 5: Book 4/5
                      2016: Season 6: Book 6
                      2017: Season 7: Book 7 / Book 7 released

                      If HBO decides to split Book 4/5 somehow into 2 seasons (2015 book 4a/5a, 2016 book 4b/5b) then we're certainly safe. It's also possible that book 6 needs 2 seasons, or book 4/5/6 need 3 seasons in total.

                      If the rumors are true, and Winds is indeed released in 2014 and Martin can manage the release the last book in 2017, then we're looking at a photo finish between book and series. (And of course Martin can then already spill the beans to HBO while writing, so that the last season is in line with the book)

                      I absolutely certainly hope to finish the books for the series.
                      I doubt that it'll be possible to not spoil myself while waiting for the books while the series are already finished....

                          so you're thinking they're going to condense about two thousand pages into a single season, when they split book 3 into two seasons?

                          are you high? i get that they might 'combine' books four and five, but that's... at least three seasons worth of material, minimum.

                              He supposedly had most of the Winds of Winter written when a Dance with Dragons was released as he had to cut a Dance with Dragons in half. I truly hope it is released in 2014 but given the man's track record and the fact that his Not A Blog shows him doing a million and one things other than writing the ****ing book everyone wants... Well, I wouldn't be surprised to see Book 6 come out in 2020.

                                So how soon will the show be forced to start deciding what happens on its own?
