#1 I think it was about 96 yesterday and it was only 88 today. They are clearly lying.

Actually, I have to wonder how warm it was, globally speaking, when a shallow inland sea covered the Chicago area. I have to think a good deal warmer than it has been in the last 2 MILLION years.

There's only so much carbon in the world. That is dug up and burnt can only make it as warm as it was during the Carboniferous Age.

Is there something wrong with my logic here?

#2 Sure. Bush wasn't president during the Carboniferous Age.

#3 It's supposed to be hotter (over a 100) tomorrow at my place - I guess Al Gore is right. But, Monday, a cooling trend is due, so I guess Al Gore is full of sh*t. Wow, taking short snapshots sure confuses people, doesn't it... Aren't we used to talking about "ages" and "eons" for real change...amazing that when it becomes convenient, we focus on 10 or 20 (or 13) yr spans.... Grant Whores In Academia unite!
