you don't know how to use data.
It takes a real propaganda genius to take data like this and make statements on how the snow is a thing of the past.

Marl, what is your hypothesis? Or what is motivation for your passion on this topic?

You have assembled a number of global temperature/snowfall charts and graphs as well as supporting anecdotal photos and weather anomalies which contradict the "global warming" hypothesis. This requires the ability to think crtically as well as some effort even if just a ctrl C + ctrl V from another website.

But I can't understand what you are trying to do with this effort?

There are climate researchers who's job is to analyze the data and have predicted we're walking ourselves into a global crises....As a result try to influence policy to do something.
there are petroleum/fuels industries that want to be very critical of the data because this affects their business. if your going to make global policy that puts us out of business you better have SOLID data.

But what is your stake sir?

Personally, I don't give a shit about fuels industries. harvesting, refining and transporting toxic sludge with the sole purpose of burning it to be breathed in by every living creature is something the world can do without.The scale at which we are doing this is unprecedented and it would be silly to assume it will have no impacts to the world environment, climate, or health of it's species. As a result, If experts have predicted catastrophic "climate change" as the pressing urgency of this activity. Then I will accept that as just another reason to pursue change and technology to improve

But as you are (I am assuming) an average citizen like myself, what's your stake?

Even if you believe UN sponsored self serving science like this guy does for the sake of the argument, this is what you get. I want different things from my government other than trying to appease the Green Blob and a vehicle for Globalization.



What's in the global warming propaganda for you?

Nothing.

None of us are "the other". We have no more or less financial stake in a global warming agenda than any other random collection on any other sport forum. We're kiters just like you. Were here to talk about kiting and wind and waves etc.

Why choose this place to air your politics? Judging from your response to Rotten, your obviously not looking for actual discussion.

Seems the appeal of your bait has fatigued, so your left posting endlessly to provoke someone, anyone at all into slinging mud with you.

Why?

Stick to sewing machine talk. Your much more likeable.
