Equally short term: look at the end of the week in PA.<br><br><br><br>&#63743; &#63743; &#63743; &#63743;

well all I can say is that over Christmas when we were in Dallas TX the weather was in the 70s and bright and sunny... we didn't have 1 cold day out of the 10 we were there and this was the END of December !!<br><br>sure there may be cold snaps - they don't totally disappear and some may be more extreme, but overall, over time the environment IS getting warmer... globally ... not regionally and not short-term. Go look at the polar caps !<br><br>BTW I think that must have been a rainfall map... Atlanta showed 12 - we haven't been 12 all year !! ..so it must be referring to the drought = 12 " of rain ! <br><br>your analogy is like taking one day you get 3" of rain and then saying geez we're gonna drown... 3" X 365 = 1100" of rain this year !! <br><br>the key here Matt is "Averages".<br>David (OFI)

YOYO !!!! <br><br>Quit hogging all the heat !!! <br><br>David (OFI)

Who's up for adopting Polar Bears floating around Lake Antarctica? <br><br>Did I tell you I'm leaving my house lights on non-stop in an effort to flood Manhattan? <br><br>***********************<br>[color:red]Nice Try</font color=red>

Long term check<br><br>Including 2007, seven of the eight warmest years on record have occurred since 2001 and the 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1997.<br><br><br>

In other news gas jumped 15 cents overnight and will probably not go back down past $3 a gallon, Oil is $100 a barrel, and my electricity bill has went up nearly 400% in the past two years despite all the conservation measures I've taken, and despite making well more than twice what I made 7 years ago, I have less money in my pocket.<br><br>Tell your president nice job from all of us. I'll really enjoy it when I can pay $4, no $5.. hell, $6 a gallon!<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I have less money in my pocket.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Not me, baby! I have three jobs. My regular, full time job plus two thriving side businesses. Paid off my vehicle ... zero credit card debt ... all I owe on is my crib. <br><br>... But, to each their own. <br><br>***********************<br>[color:red]Nice Try</font color=red>

Brrrrrrrrrr . . . <br><br><br><br>***********************<br>[color:red]Nice Try</font color=red>

your explanation is perfect.... takes 3 jobs to make it.<br><br>and you DO have less in your pocket than you would if gas were $2 a gallon no matter how many jobs you have and no matter how much you make.<br><br>That said, I applaud your entrepreneurmanship.<br><br>David (OFI)

Because living in the UK with $7/gallon and "luxuary goods" paying in £ what you pay in $ is such a barrel of laughs.<br><br>I used to think it was terrible that life was unfair. Then I thought what if life were fair and all of the terrible things that happen came because we really deserved them? Now I take comfort in the general unfairness and hostility of the universe.
