Why All the Fuss

If seeing is believing then determining global warming over the last umpteen years is a simple matter of viewing temperature records ~ isn't it?

Simple as you write Gershon but taking no cognizance of this situation creates international news which is fueled by greed! Brief, but very apt and clever words! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Never has something so simple confused so many people, eh?! ... (Sorry for the delay in responding; my computer has 'died,' and am now looking for a new one). ;) gw

To refuse to believe scientifically verifiable facts is pure lunacy (hah hah I made a pun!)

Precisely, Michelle... Only a human could argue that white is black or that black is white---and actually believe what he or she is saying... Sad, isn't it? ~ gw

The smell of money casts a blind eye, I think!!

Ah, you have uncovered the stench, my friend. Precisely. :) gw

---or that complex, either. A robot would analyze the temperature/weather data and issue a warning and/or do something about it. We humans analyze the data, interpret it in all sorts of different ways, and then sit on our behinds and argue about the interpretations. 'Nero fiddles while Rome burns.' :) gw

Just view them for the last two years in Kansas, or maybe even the last month. Nice one, environmentally correct, Gershon.

Thank you, teacher... In Chicago, it's so obvious that something's afoot. Winter's gone from 4 months down to 2 year in and year out (including this year). And December has been very pleasant most years from the early 1990's on... I used to go skating outdoors from December 17 or so on an outdoors pond every day when I was a kid in the 1950's ...Can't do that anymore (unless it's artificial ice)… :) gw

...records are to be broken? I got nothin. Logic defies. ;)

Ha, ha! Love the irony of your comment, ('records are to be broken'), as well as 'logic defies.' It's 1984 you know: War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Logic is Illogic. I'd LOL, except the truth hurts too much... Best wishes, Gershon
