[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1110560, member: 20599"] O yea its so warm this winter that the Great Lakes are 90.5% iced up, thats the second most ice coverage on the Great Lakes since we began recording it. Also the fourth worst winter in WI (they use some kind of Index that measures temp, snowfall, and a couple of other variables to come with it I guess) all time and the worst since '79, which I was not around for. And since we only began recording and tracking weather maybe 150 years ago, how do we know that this isn't some recurring pattern that the earth goes through? I mean the earth is how old and after looking at not even 200 years worth of data we decide that we know all there is about weather and can predict whats going to happen on a global level? :roll:[/quote] I'll start by saying I never use the eyeroll emoticon. I think it's disrepectful. If we were talking in person (and assuming we're both reasonable people), we likely wouldn't do that. So I don't. The report I linked to (did you read it?) notes that Jan. 2014 was globally the 4th warmest January since they've been tracking it in 1880. This includes air/land/ocean temps, I believe. How cold it was in WI was, of course, an infinitesimal piece of data baked into that statistic. You can't argue with data. It just, [i]is.[/i] You understand, of course, that the Great Lakes can be at historic levels of ice, and yet the polar ice still be melting and the oceans warming, right? That it can be one of the colder Januaries in history in WI and yet the global Jan. temps were simultaneously quite high? Me, I follow the facts. I'm not making any predictions about where they will ultimately lead, but I do see cause for concern. [/QUOTE]
