From that statement, a simple deduction should reveal that the past 7 Januarys in a row have all been warmer than January 2000.

Seven in a row. All warmer.

Uh.... what was the point you were trying to make there, LAN?

The sky is not falling.

Yes, climate change is real. Yes the trand over the past 50 years has been a net increase.

Is it something worthy of panic? Absolutely not.
Beach front property is not under water, nor will it be antytime soon.

That is why you confuse me LAN. You say, yes climate change is real.
How can you be certain the acceleration won't increase exponentially as it seems to many?
Why do you say it isn't?
Is it just a faith thing?

Well, if it ever does, maybe you can get Jack and Jill to go up the Hill to shore it up.
Otherwise, maybe hickory, dickory, and dock can change the darn clock!

The 'panic' you refer to is according to the hyped cartoons and op/eds you've been pouring over.

Low-lying areas are already going under and the Mediterranean has recently reported a rise in sea levels.

...and I suspect some aspiring historian is already writing a book called 'The Not So Great Flood'.

All of the beaches I grew up at are still there. Newport beach hasn't been flooded.
Seems the whole California coastline is immune to this "disaster" in sea level rising. In fdact, it's not even noticable.

No, it is not a faith thing. You throw that into this mix, not me.

Climate change is cyclical.
The very mechanism which causes a warming cycle ends up causing the cooling cycle.
The accelleration of the cycle is debatable.
Mankind's influence on that supposed accelleration is also debatable.

So attacking Capitalism as a means to combat global warming is illogical.
But that's exactly what is taking place.

you'd get an influx of fresh water from the lakes upstream. This stuff all came in the front door; i.e., the ocean.

Hi valis. This has been mentioned 3 or 4 times before in this thread. Here's a reference from July, 2007.

Stoner has also mentioned it, and now you have.
Can't really say if LAN has read any of them. Doesn't seem so, does it?

Lan, the water IS rising.

I didn't mean it in an undermining way....I was asking. Like with the evolution stuff. Some of your beliefs are aligned by your faith. I think?

Well, LAN...if the world was perfectly round with no forces acting in it or on it and the water came as a uniform mist upon it, I would say that your reply here might make some sense.

But it ain't and it doesn't make any sense at all.

You're saying that it's sunny here, so it's sunny all over da world.
