Look at my post above yours. This Summer has been mild outside of the past few weeks

No it hasn't

Doesn’t change the fact that water isn’t wet, it makes things wet.

Is water dry? It has to be one or the other, right? Can't everything go into one of those two bins? If it's not wet, it must be dry. If it's not dry, it must be wet.

Each molecule of water has one or more other molecules of water stuck to it. Aren't they all wet?

It’s 97 in my neck of the woods at 10am. Today will be a scorcher

Try not to overheat whilst looking for what I asked you to find, baw.

Anyone ever read the Freakanomics books? I recently read Super Freakanomics.

For those who are all in on global warming and thinks that humans are killing the planet. Do you know that all of the bullshite about how we are destroying the planet by driving cars and flying, etc. According to this book its all kind of bullshite. The emissions produced by humans is a very small percentage compared to what earth produces naturally?

And from the 1960s to the 1990s there was something natural (I forget the term) that was covering the Atlantic that kept the water temps from getting too hot, which is the reason that we have had a lot of strong hurricanes since the early 2000s. In other words, "global warming" hasn't caused these hurricanes for the past 20 or so year.

And that the whole "Florida will be underwater at some point" is bullshite. And at the very worst, which only has less than a 5% chance of happening, Earth will get 10 degrees hotter. In other words, according to the book, sure climate change is a thing, humans play a small role, but its mostly a natural process and that more than likely, the news people are overhyping this.

Of course the book was published in 2009 so shite might have changed then, but for those who are concerned that these temps are only going to get worse, etc... Calm down. Its nothing the Earth hasn't gone through before.

When I came to work yesterday morning, some kid (early 20s) from New Orleans was shivering outside in 57 degree weather begging me to open the building so he could come inside. Kid had a jacket on too.

You didn't tell him he had a pretty mouth, did you, Roger?

Agreed.

This thread is about BR weather Stout is presenting data that was taken off Twitter in an argument about climate change and has little relevance to BR weather. People arguing around the edges of climate change in this thread are punching air, that is another topic for another thread.

I showed in my previous post that from both the meteorological and astronomical start of Summer BR has only had 3 days lower than average at the airport.

The term "mild" vis-a-cis weather has no objective definition so it is a bit of a tar baby to argue about but I think the majority of non-contrarians would agree that the objective temperatures of BR this summer do not meet the reasonable person's definition of "mild". The people that think it was "mild" earlier in the summer may be caught out by the fact Jully has been even more unusually hot.

People that are trying to insert climate change type arguments into a weather thread are as insufferable as their counterparts that do the same thing pushing a different conclusion.
