Oh,m the global warming thing is a cheap shot that I just couldn't pass by. Its like ol' Shoutin Al's major press conference on the global climate catastrophe of warming. Held in NYC. In a blizzard. You just gotta laugh sometimes.

But the reality is that when you're dealing with just a few degree difference in temp averaged over long time periods, you're going to have fluctations above and below the moving average. You'll just have a few more higher than lower, over the long term.

In many areas of the world, global warming may turn into a blessing. But in some places, we ain't gonna like it worth a flip. Like S TX and S LA. We're going to get range extensions on insects that are vectors for tropical diseases. Ther are a lot of them that most of us temperate folks never heard of but are pretty dang horrid.
