Weird how the global warming folks never mention the sun's ability to affect our weather in their models.
Ha, bitches. Y'all are going to get at taste of what I have for almost half the year up here.

Ha! It won't be a punishment to me. Shit! I can't go outside to mow the lawn? Guess I'll just play video games...

Every year I forget how much more of my time my summer stuff takes, especially with all this rain we've had.

Trying to get the last of the attic trimmed out but.... damn.... more rain and now I have to mow again.

Right? Winter is awesome because the outside of the house is taken care of for 6 months or so.

You mean walking behind a self-propelled snowblower?

I would appreciate it if my shittier neighbors would shovel their own shit, though. And stop letting their nasty little dogs shit in the snow on their sidewalks before I can clear it.

Geothermal heat and glaciers.

The study’s authors, however, argue that geothermal heating under Antarctica doesn’t explain why the western part of the continent has undergone rapid ice loss in recent decades. The other part of the equation is global warming, they argue.

Besides, where do you think all that geothermal heat is coming from? Obviously it's all the carbon we've been putting into the atmosphere.

Why is it that every time someone mentions the melting ice on the West side of Antarctica, they never mention the record ice on the East side?

Also, warmest year ever? We're experiencing record cold summers.

As far as I can tell, there is no one publishing honest climate numbers any more. They are adjusted and adjusted again 5 years later and who the fuck knows what reality is.

The entire Western US/Alaska/Canada is experiencing record hot summers.

This upside-down weather pattern was triggered by a series of massive typhoons that formed in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, including Super Typhoons Noul and Dolphin. The Northwest Pacific has already had three Cat. 5 super typhoons, including both Noul and Dolphin, the latter of which topped out at a 160-mile-per-hour super typhoon.

Super typhoon Dolphin? What sick fuck names these?

Based on their records, yes. And those accurately date back how far? 180 years?

Seems like a really, really small sample size.

And again, I'm not debating climate change as that is a real thing. However, the implication that we're the only or main factor is something I've yet to see proven.

And what I am saying is that I suspect there isn't any honest data collection any more.
