Hahahahahahahaha!!!

BTW just because ONE isolated place in the world has an early winter is not a disproval of global climate change, just as one isolated place having a long summer is proof of it. . . One needs to look at the "big picture" aggregate evidence, which is overwhelmingly supportive of the notion that the planet as a whole is getting warmer.

Cripes, for some of the self-proclaimed know-it-all scientist/engineer types on this board to be taking this sort of myopic position it's pretty sad. For "scientists", they certainly have a hard time divorcing their personal opinion from empirical evidence supported by observations, research, analysis and known scientific principles. Maybe they don't teach that in engineering school anymore. If not, I cringe for the prospects of our future as a society. I'd hope like hell that those designing things that can kill people would be a bit more capable of applying the principles of science universally rather than selectively/at convenience and able to say "gee I guess my personal opinion is wrong in this case, although I don't particularly like it - why don't I try to understand this better" once in a while. . .
