Bro. David: // And you say that your A/C bill for August is $75 to $125 buck$? \/

That is not what I said -- not even close. What I said is that my AVERAGE A/C bill is $300+ in hot Julys and hot Augusts.

Fortunately, the August heat wave (warmer than AVERAGE) has broken for a few days.

Bro David: // So you're concluding that global warming is "real" based on an anomaly in Moscow, Russia ... \\

Wrong, Assumption Breath That is one more nail in the coffin called "Climategate". There are thousands of proofs of Global Warming, more than can be posted on one topic.

// Ed, do you have conclusive proof that hell's fires are "real" \\

Yes, but I cannot show you without killing you, which would be harmful to both of us

Bro David: // ... the temperature in exciting Norman, Oklahoma has been pretty much average from the June of 1880 through the June 2009? \\

Tee Hee! you are such a card, Elder Brother David -- Love you Bro.!

anyway, you have lived in Oklahoma long enough to know that Oklahoma does not have a Climate, it has Weather. However, one can take the numerical average of the weathers (say the tems at 11:00PM local time, for 15 Aug) over a period of years, and divide. It just so happens that central Oklahoma has kept records only since 1880. The 11:00PM local time for 15 Aug 11:00PM was only available half an hour ago, it was 82ºF. That is the AVERAGE, not the NORMAL. Oklahoma does not have a Climate (NORMAL), it has Weather -- and one can compute a meaningless average to use for comparisons.
