22” of Global Warming in Iran kills 21

Its the Sun stupid.

The more Solar energy the earth gets, ....... the warmer it gets.

When one half of the earth is heating up, ...... the other half is cooling down ......... as the earth "cycles" on its axis every 24 hours. Just like trying to stay warm on a cold night at a camp fire, ..... ya gotta turn round n' round or you will freeze on one side and burn on the other.

Of course. I should have known it was that simple. Us smart notherners, however, build TWO fires and sleep between them.

So global warming is all related to sunspots. The fact that the trend, at least as far as what your scientist stated (he did say the past century, did he not, your snark aside), started during the Industrial Revolution is irrelevant - nothing to see here, folks.

Are you saying, Sam, that we can't make a natural cycle more extreme? Why does it have to be one or the other?

Do you not think it foolish to stifle scientific research because it mentions global warming without making mention of any causes, like the recent CDC findings?

Keep drinking that beer, perhaps it will keep the malaria away. Too late for the blinders, though, I think they are stuck to you.

You can set the thermostat and your furnace will "cycle" keeping your house between say 48 and 54 degrees.

By the way, where is the Earth's thermostat? Is it a mercury switch? Can we stop this trend by just turning it down? How big is the switch? Will we need heavy equipment to turn it?

You fail at analogy.
