Yeah...I think you're right. Where are all the naysayers now? You still hear one or two(like our recent pm who is now an ex pm) make stupid comments about it but most have gone away. I'm glad our current pm(even for a Liberal) took a better approach at the conference in France.
We are getting so much more extreme weather especially in the northern parts. It seems like every week or two something happens up there. So far we're just getting warmer weather at unusual times.

mmm, we still have some of those naysayers naysaying here as well...I used to get annoyed but now I look on them much as I look on the moon landing naysayers, as afflicted individuals one must feel sympathy for!
Well, I'm supposed to be packing and making tracks south so I'd better get my a into g and a dog in the car. In case I don't catch up before Tuesday, have a swell weekend everyone and I'll report on the family convivialities (or lack thereof
) upon my return

Oh my gosh. During the holiday luncheon at work, I had to sit through a very opinionated "discussion" of how global warming doesn't exist at all and that all the scientists/etc., who are going on and on about it are completely ignorant and wrong.
Because they are comparing temperatures with modern instruments to those taken with archaic instruments and therefore, you can only compare whole degrees to whole degrees and ... consequently, it is only ONE degree difference. (One degree melts the polar icecap???)
The unseasonably warm weather is totally the result of El Nino and nothing to do with the non existent global warming. But ... but ... yes. El Nino 2015 is having and will have a huge impact on weather around the world, but no way did El Nino 2015 affect the arctic problems for the last 10 years! Of course, I never realized that El Nino affected weather world wide rather than just the West Coast. But, you can't expect a hermit to think in terms of the entire world when they live in a cave :wink:
Anyway ... I just kept my mouth shut because it's not like anything any of us would say would change his opinion. He considers himself far more knowledgeable about everything than the rest of us.
I mean seriously! When another coworker asked if his daughter (who is 5 or 6) wanted a pet, he said yes. She'd asked for a butterfly. But there was NO WAY at all, he was going to have ANY PETS in his house! Um ... a butterfly? For all of a week? Just how difficult is having a pet butterfly for one week going to upset his life?!?
She could be asking for a pony! Or a chimpanzee.

Yay Lorraine!
Actually, I have no problem completely ignoring unmitigated morons. If anything, it's probably more of a problem that I don't challenge them. But then again ... a holiday luncheon is not the place to tell someone he's a complete unmitigated moron.
I may be smart (or even brilliant as an ex coworker still likes to tell me), but I'm not exactly socially adept, and when I'm challenged or confronted, my brain tends to go into lockdown mode. Circle the wagons! The beasties are attacking!!!
The worst thing about our moron is that he's in charge of setting the security standards and is constantly issuing edicts about our databases and practices ... despite those edicts usually being doable for the developers who have web applications and not at all doable for me since my application is a desktop application.
Soo ... did I mention that after my periodontist appointment yesterday morning, I drove back into center city (like a few blocks from where I work) to look at adoptable cats. After an hour circling the block looking for a parking spot. I finally found one a few blocks away. Fortunately, the Prius c is small enough, I was able to back into the spot. But ... they had no kittens. Oopsie. Why didn't I call first!?! But, I had to finalize my application anyway. They needed to see photo id. So now if I find a kitten at the Pet Valu near me, I'm all cleared for adopting.
The best thing about that little trip those was that I was getting over 50 mpg as I circled and circled and circled the block.
