Old thread had reached 109 posts.

Arbitrary new thread per David's earlier discussion. He's busy. I did it for him.

Now, have at each other, Brothers.

On this date in 1936 in my town, the temperature rose to 108, after two days at 106 apiece. The rest of the summer in 1936 made it about the hottest on record (many days above 100), as was the entire decade of the 1930s. At that time, I was dreading the first grade. In the 1940s, the cooling started and by the 1970s the “experts” were warning of a new Ice Age. So…this is a bit of reminder that anecdotal stuff regarding the current “heat wave” in some parts of the country is nothing new and just as useless. When it was hot here in 1936 and all of the 1930s, Oklahoma was blowing away toward California – both soil and people. Thankfully, things are very good in Oklahoma now.

Strawman AGW Denier argument: No group of earth persons ever caused Global Warming.

Bye Bye argument. All it takes is one exception:

Of course, that was back before God crated Adam. So we would have to call those Mammoth killers:

Brother Jim || ... by the 1970s the “experts” were warning of a new Ice Age ... ||

Better statement: by the 1970s an expert or two warned of a new Ice Age coming in about 20,000 years

by th 1990s many climate experts, paleoclimate experts, geologists, biologists, and kindred experts were warning of AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) that would be well on it's way and obvious by 2030. This AGW scare was proved UNTRUE. AGW is now and the AGW is going to increase through 2100 even if we do now what we should have done in 1992 (when we should have elected Al Gore). Fortunately I did not vote for Bush nor Gore. (I figured that we had a Bush already and do not need an american Dynasty!) I guess it was alright to spend a Trillion Dollars killing Iraqi and Afgans - but not alright to spend a Trillion Dollars building dikes?

Those guys probably have it backwards - - - The birch grew farther north because it had already warmed up a bit [makes as much sense as their assumption].

Now let's see - - every time I eat a steak I'm contributing to AGW because there is one less cow to eat the grass therefore the extra grass will absorb more sunlight causing the earth to get hotter. OK. I guess when I pick purple hull peas, tomatoes, peppers, beans, cucumbers, etc. from my backyard garden and chow down on them then I'm surely helping cool the planet because after I've eaten the veggies there is less vegetation to absorb the sunlight to produce more heat. Do I have it right? If so I need to increase my consumption of veggies 'cause it is hot right here right now.

James 1:8 (KJV1611 edition, e-sword.com edition):

A double minded man is vnstable in all his wayes.


Strong's explains this for the source of the term here translated "double minded".

Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder; but ugly goes clear to the bone.
The scripture is (metaphorically speaking) a mirror, revealing the inner self, soul, spirit, etc.
I just post scripture, the Lord gives it meaning for the reader.
I plant the seed, God gives the increase.

All my best religion I got at Children's Worship.
Sorry to the author of this old Baptist Children's song:

Roll away, roll away, roll away (make rolling motion while singing)
All the burdens of my heart rolled away

Brave Gnu World:

Verse 1:
Wish away, wish away, wish away (make clue-less eye rolling motions while singing)
All the AGW problems wished away!
All my friends, had to sink, neath the rising floods,
Wish away, wish away, wish away!

Verse 2:
Wish away, wish away, wish away (make clue-less eye crossing motions while singing)
All the AGW problems wished away!
All my living peeps moved 12º North,Wish away, wish away, wish away!

I'm sure you get the idea by now
Keith: || You cannot just wish away the AGW problem by quoting 40 year old op-eds or hiding/ignoring the DATA. ||
