The earth temperature from real measurements is warming. almost one degree at this point, and rising. These numbers are taken from real data gathering systems and are not at the whim of interpretation. The issue is where the warm is. It is in the Arctic And antarctic zones. (ask northern Canadians about warm. 12 to 20 degrees warmer than historic norms. Tundra, permafrost, and glacial ice the world over is retreating dramatically. The Columbia glacier is just the lack of the iceberg. From Wikipedia::::
Speed at the terminus reached a maximum of nearly 30 meters per day in 2001, when the glacier was discharging icebergs at approximately seven cubic kilometers per year; the glacier has subsequently slowed down, resulting in an increase in retreat rate. The terminus has retreated a total of 16 kilometers at an average rate of approximately .6 kilometers per year since 1982. Retreat has been accompanied by nearly 500 meters of thinning at the present position of the terminus. In the next few decades it is expected to retreat another 15 kilometers, to a point where the bed of the glacier rises above sea level. Tidewater glacier advance and retreat is not directly forced by climate (adjacent tidewater glaciers may be simultaneously advancing and retreating), but rapid retreat appears to be triggered by climate-forced long-term thinning.
Reality is that a single storm is not statistically related to the warming, it is a symptom of change. Dry where wet, wet where dry, colder where warm etc. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
