Bought a copy of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Its a guilty pleasure. Great movie. Let's add some politics to this posting shall we? This morning (Wednesday) a lady from Broken Arrow called into a radio discussion show proclaiming that she would be voting straight party Republican, because if we didn't re-elect Bush we would be overrun with abortions and gays. This is true because the GOP says so. Resident weather expert Coleman Ferguson recently wrote into the Tulsa World to inform us that "the global warming advocates are either ignorant or socialists pushing an alarmist agenda for government to control our individual use of energy." How does he come to this conclusion? Well, because this summer was moderate and his tomatoes didn't bloom. His assumption would be that since we call it "global warming" then everywhere should be getting warmer. Right? Not exactly. When scientists talk about global warming, or climate change they are usually referring to an average warming of the Earth's climate, in particular, the ocean waters. This does not mean that people should expect warmer temperatures where they live. What this might mean is that weather might vary from its usual patterns. Does this summer's unusually cool temperatures mean that global warming is happening or not? I can't say, I'm not an expert armed with climate change detecting tomato plants, but I will say that it was colder this year because we got a swimming pool. |
