    Subj : Global Climate Change Myth ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- -


    Had a headlight go out last night. Early this after noon I
    went out to the driveway to work on it. Jan 1, 2012,
    Toledo Ohio Area. Working on a car in the driveway in a
    short sleeve shirt.

    Isn't Global Warming a myth?


    <snip>>

    The point being, in either case it was and is anecdotal
    evidence and cannot be referred to as proof of global
    climate change or global warming whichever you prefer to
    call it. :)


    Actually, it was a chain yank for the right wingers. It was 40
    Deg F here, and that ain't really warm. The point is, so many of
    the right wingers are southerners that 40 is artic to them. For
    us native northerners, in January 40F is warm enough to go out
    in a short sleeve shirt for a bit. I was out there last week in
    freezing weather, for a short time, in a short sleeve shirt.


    Actually, I was born and raised in upstate New York, right on the shores of Lake Ontario. 40 degree temperatures in January in that locale is probably something you'd wear a light jacket to school in. Going in and out of doors, knocking hanging ice from eaves, or sweeping snow from a walk or porch steps
    in a tee shirt or long-sleeved polo shirt wasn't unheard of.


    One of my step-sister's owned a house right up on the shore of the Great Lake, and I used to spend weekends there with my nephew (he was the same age as I was) ice skating on the lake.


    As I asked them, how long does it take you to change a headlight
    bulb. Note that access was relatively easy.


    Those who think they're talking to people who've never experienced cold weather, and are boasting about how long they stayed outdoors in 40 degree temperatures wearing a tee shirt, are put their own foot in their mouth. (again!)

    I do believe I said something like that.

    Ice skating keeps you warm.

    Notice no mention of how long, lestwise boasting. The question
    was how long does it take. Answer, not very long at all.

    TR took the statement that many of the right wingers live in the
    South and turned it into an implication that *ALL* of the right
    wingers live in the South. Notice he didn't catch it the first
    time around, but only after I gave my followup. He responded
    with an extended, and meaningless, lecture on global climate
    change, linking cycles that take from tens of thousands to
    millions of years to current and short term temperature
    increases.
