Well I will say it; Thomas is suggesting that because of the cold snap in
Afghanistan that therefore global warming cannot be happening. This is
because he and others seem to think global warming means that everything is
going to get warmer everywhere. Only 6 days ago (7th Feb) I posted this
<<Perhaps it would help if they were reminded that the "global warming"
expected is only an AVERAGE figure for
the whole globe. The effect will be to add more "energy" to the reactions
and interactions of the atmospheric systems. Weather should become more
extreme. Droughts will increase. Dustbowls will become more frequent.
Flooding will happen more often and more severely and, also, snow storms
will become worse. In addition to increases in intensity and frequency,
extreme weather events will happen in places where they never used to>>
Other Vorts posted similar comments slightly earlier. Clearly Thomas has
forgotten or is turning a blind eye deliberately or is impervious to, any
reasoned answers that countermand his preconceptions.
Going back to the "Minnesotans for Global Warming" website (
http://www.m4gw.com:2005/m4gw/home.html ) this is actually quite nice and
cute (although incredibly mistaken, mislead or misleading) - at least these
guys have a great sense of humour. Their songs reminded me of the "Bare
naked Ladies" song "If I had a million dollars" (I'd buy really expensive
ketchup)!
