Its warming up and getting windier.And breaking all previous records. Quoting: SickScent Oh Good God. "All-Time Record High Temperature" previously set in the late seventies, early eighties? No previous records before the last paltry, measly 30 or 40 years? Give me a break. This tunnel vision about lengths of time and our myopic, pathetically limited perception of events in comparison to vast spans of historical and geological time, drives me nuts. They are tracking patterns. There is much more to this if you bothered to go to the research sites and look through all the information. For example, look at some of the science papers on Tephra and Antarctica. It is YOUR fault you only want to look at this data I put up, and not look at all the other data out there, and claim it drives you nuts. Maybe it drives you nuts because you allow yourself to be spoonfed, instead of educating yourself. IMHO
