Comments about ‘Wet, cold spring is taking a toll on the state’s fruit crops’

My faith in the Church of Global Warming is almost dead. Where is my beloved Prophet, Al Gore, to provide words of inspiration and hope, and pass taxes on carbon emissions? I want to pay more taxes!!!

My willow tree is nearly broken. Accumulation of almost 1/4 inch in west Orem.

Please Al, cant you send some global warming out way.

those global warming hacks don't even feel bad, they convinced enough people to buy into their speil and made plenty of money in the process that they are still living the high life. In the meantime all the global warming nuts out there are trying to discount the truth and continue to sound as clueless as they always have, they just aren't smart enough to move on to the next "cause".

If this global warming doesn't stop, we're all going to freeze to death.

Yeah, I don't know whether to leave my car running all day or to shut it off to warm things up....ha ha

"those global warming hacks don't even feel bad, they convinced enough people to buy into their speil and made plenty of money in the process that they are still living the high life."

I know the English language well enough to know the difference between wreath and climate. I know science too well to use global warming because its not concise and fails to take in the many other variables besides temperature that define climate.

It's been 99 in the Mojave. It was 96 in Da Nang yesterday. I've studied enough geography to know the weather in Utah does define the weather globally. I've taken enough statistics to know in any huge data set there's outliers.

FYI: "Adiabatic heating or cooling of a gas results from pressure change. Work is done on or by the gas, but there is no heat transfer with the environment. Heat can be supplied to the gas by friction however. If an adiabatic process is frictionless too, the process is reversible and can be called isentropic."

Whose clueless here?

Not_Scared,

Here are some friendly spelling and grammar corrections to help you better acquaint yourself with the English language:

("it's" not concise)
("there are" outliers)
("Who's" clueless here?)

Evidently I'm not doing enough belching.

Cats, your comment made me laugh out loud. Thank you! I've had the thermostat set on 76 almost all winter and the furnace is still going this late in May. I'm still wearing a coat to go out to the store, and wrapping up in a blanket to watch TV.

Hawk, I notice you aren't disputing the thesis of my argument. If you can't argue ideas point out some small error.

"concise (expressing much in few words) "a concise explanation"

"An outlier is an observation that lies an abnormal distance from other values in a random sample from a population. In a sense, this definition leaves it up to the analyst (or a consensus process) to decide what will be considered abnormal. Before abnormal observations can be singled out, it is necessary to characterize normal observations."

Lets look at latent heat exchange. It takes 600 calories of energy to change water to a vapor at room temperature with no change in ambient temperature.

Is temperature the measure of real energy in our atmosphere?

Whose clueless?

Global warming is a real pain!

Just had to look at the posters to see how many think that Salt Lake "is the globe," and how many wanted to look foolish today in thinking such. I can see stupidity is still alive and well.

Re: "...Hawk"

Please tell us where you got your degree?

We would like to know. I for one will listen to the experts and not to some hack that might read a D.N. newspaper.

Not_Scared: Reading comprehension just isn't your strong suit, is it? Fiscal Hawk's post was simply a retort ("to answer in a quick or witty manner") to your 12:31 post (I know the English language well enough to know the difference between wreath and climate). Fiscal Hawk wasn't engaging in a point-counterpoint with you on global warming.

Who's clueless? Indeed.

xscribe,

It never fails, does it? Typical nonsense ....

Here's HOW much of JOKE global warming is:


if is hot it's global warming,

if its cold it's global warming,

if wet, it's global warming,

if its dry it's global warming,

if it's snowing it's global warming,

if it's clear it's global warming,

if there are huricanes it's global warming,

if there are no hurricanes it is global warming,



ONe thing we can be sure of:

if it is nonsense, it is global warming

The uneducated in this crowd thinks that the world's weather is based in SLC. Surprise, we're not even a pimple on the world's nose. Records from this year show that indeed, even through winter, this is one of the warmest winters on record taking the globe as a whole. So, go ahead and laugh, but rest assured that those of us who pay attention to the whole picture are laughing at you, not with you.

Cougar Blue, I agree with your comments. This Utahcentrism is nauseating and juvenile. I know that many Utahns live a sheltered existence--surprising for a state with so many missionaries that serve abroad, but to refute global temperature data because of short term local weather just boggles the mind and imagination.

Guys, it's not global warming, it's global climate change. I am not an Al Gore fan, and don't consider him a credible source. He's a politician, for crying out loud, and that says enough. But I also don't consider Rush Limbaugh a reliable source on the topic. I've attended numerous meetings at the American Geophysical Conference, I've attended colloquiums on the topic, and there certainly is some truth to the theory. I'm a physicist, not a climatologist, so I'm not an expert. However, there is a heck of a lot more than temperature that goes into the modeling. Also, they look at a heck of a lot more than just plain outliers!
