    It was announced today that this was the warmest summer ever recorded and showing no signs of letting up it has become the new normal (until next year) Yep we "F" it up time to remove your head from the sand.

    my attempt at baited sarcasm didn't take... :D

    this rock we live on has been undergoing dramatic changes/swings for a very long time, ...while we produce "emissions", and it's certainly reasonable to suspect that there is some effect (as is the case w/ most everything) on weather patterns, the notion that we are actively causing an irreparable spike in warmth, sea level, etc... is quite laughable... the hockey-stick graphs and all the other trumped-up cherry picked temperature data captured over impervious areas (tarmack, pavement, etc..) have all been invalidated.... the real alarm is that the whole thing is a fraud of massive proportion...

    ...let's recall the "evolution" of the terminology, ..this all from the same "bunch" of folks:

    1970's: global cooling - we are all going to die, so give us your sovereignty and money

    1990's global warming - we are all going to die, so give us your sovereignty and money

    2000's "climate change" - we are all going to die, so give us your soveriengty and money

    ...i'm seeing a pattern here alright ;)

    well, sir issac newton did say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction... ...and this extends also to the laws of thermodynamics, which, basically encompass most everything we experience in life... ...but i don't believe we are causing a dramatic impact that is turning us into a perpetual sauna... if there is some entropy introduced by this, ...it is likely being counterbalanced through natural effects trending toward less entropy, but i'd doubt it's "appreciable" enough for us to really worry about...
