Has anyone reading this thread seen even ONE argument for or against, that they haven't seen probably hundreds of times before? I sure haven't. Not surprising, I guess. This game of Dueling Numbers convinces no one.
As Mark Twain once observed; there are three kinds of untruths: "lies, damned lies, and statistics". Statistics are the worst, because people can make them say anything they want them to say. For myself, I'll continue to live my life the way I always have, enjoying my toys and the ability to play with them unhindered, and will vote for people who tend toward common sense rather than hysteria. Still possible (for the present, anyway) in America. |
Any tee times available this afternoon ?

The media is our worst enemy for all the points you make. We stopped watching the nightly news years ago and have never watched any of those entertainment shows that claim to report the news. We still stay informed but without all the hyperbolly. It’s refreshing.

Veteran reef divers today come out of the water crying because of the dead, bleached coral. This is caused by excess CO2 in the ocean and in the upper atmosphere, which is caused by the increased earth's population needing ICE vehicles to move around using fossil fuels. Also, vehicles used in agriculture and industry. One small recent fact that is appropriate to this discussion is that Orlando has for the 1st time recorded temps of 98 deg for 5 days recently, today maybe the 6th. Global warming increased SLOWLY after Al Gore tried to make the US aware of it. Now today, it IS HERE right in Orlando like staring into the barrel of a robber's gun - it is THAT obvious. Many will pretend that the robber does not exist. Just go outside today and walk or jog around the block in the afternoon - notice that you will come back with severe sweating. Just being outside today here is considered medically dangerous. 20 years ago do you remember the TV people warning everyone to stay hydrated and everyone carrying a water bottle.......NO. That intuitively tells you that Global Warming has increased in recent years. And next summer will be worse and so on. The only possible solution is a rapid trend to electric vehicles in the next 4 years. |

90 % of coral worldwide has died in a time frame of about 20 years. Love to see proof of that claim. And I mean legitimate proof, not something from "Chicken Little the Earth is Warming monthly" 98 deg for 5 days recently, today maybe the 6th Yes! 5 days out of the last 4 1/2 million years. Sounds like "proof" to me:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: Al Gore tried to make the US aware of it. To paraphrase the Bard---"Global Warming is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury but signifying nothing" 20 years ago do you remember the TV people warning everyone to stay hydrated and everyone carrying a water bottle.......NO. 20 years ago do you remember everyone carrying a cell phone? NO---cell phones must be causing global warming (Post hoc ergo propter hoc):1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: The only possible solution is a rapid trend to electric vehicles in the next 4 years. Yep---a solution waiting for an actual problem |

From Harvard University School of Public Health: Hospital admissions for heat stroke declining in the U.S. The number of hospital admissions for heat stroke has declined significantly in the United States in recent years, according to a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health published in the journal Environmental Health. In one of the largest studies of its kind, researchers examined data from more than 23 million Medicare beneficiaries in 1,916 U.S. counties. Care to modify your claim????? |

Played 2 hrs. of singles tennis against my wife this past Wednesday, and another two hours of doubles yesterday afternoon. Golf this afternoon, tennis tomorrow morning beginning at about 11 am (singles again). And we don't play pattycake tennis, but all-out. We have a choice. We can bellyache about the heat and stay huddled up next to the A/C OR we can enjoy what Florida summers have to offer. Drink about a pint of electrolyte solution BEFORE starting to play, drink plenty of water during play, take a short rest of 1-2 minutes during side changes, and two hours pass pretty fast. I scarcely notice the heat except that from time to time the raquet will turn in my hand if my palms get sweaty. |

Anyone with half a brain knew that it was hot outside and the worst time to play... I remember going to Las Vegas with my parents some 50 years ago. Tennis was HUGE at that time. The outdoor courts were PACKED from dawn until lunchtime. Then they were empty until the sun went down... Then they were packed agin until Midnight... Hmmm... I wonder why that was? Maybe because it's FREAKIN' HOT in Vegas in the summer? Just like Central Florida? |

Good round of golf yesterday afternoon though. Few people on the course so I could play at my own speed (pretty fast, usually). |

So, to summarize some of the posts on here claiming "cause and effect" of global warming, I have come to the conclusion that ever since we started the space program, our climate has gotten warmer. Therefore, if we stop the space program we will stop global warming. I also hypothesize that if we spend at least a trillion bucks to study this phenomenon then at the end of the funding, I believe the scientist will come to the conclusion that the world is not in fact be warming but actually cooling. Since that needs to be explored and studied, and need an action plan to prevent global cooling, the scientists will require at least two or three trillion bucks to fund said study. No problem, we will just increase taxes to pay for it.

Glaciers are growing? Also, the moon landings were faked, the military has alien bodies from crashed UFO's at Area 51, and 9/11 was an inside job!
