Four months mean nothing according the warming apologists.

I find it funny that their are some that think we (humans) have little to no effect on the weather after well over 100 years of spewing junk into the air and water.

Didn't they change it to climate change because the winters were worse too? So that they were completely wrong about it "warming". Global Warming/Climate Change is now a business, which makes me question the validity of anything that comes out about it.

According to our politics forum, 4 days of abnormally cool temperatures in January debunks it, and 4 months of abnormally warm temperatures in summer is meaningless. :p

I'm not taking a side, I'm just attacking the logic.

Well, higher temperatures leads to increased precipitation which would create more plant life, which would lead to more plant respiration and less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. No? That is the view of a professor at UT who taught me environmental science. The professor I now have at OSU feels research is biased because they need to produce findings people and agencies will want to support with more research dollars. Both have Ph.D.s and both are skeptics.

Personally I feel the "warmest temperatures ever" are a bit of an overkill because we've only been recording temperature and weather since the Gilded Age, no? <150 years in the grand scheme of civilization is so insignificant it's laughable.

Correct me if I am wrong but Columbus only had 3 days of 90 degrees or higher last year.
