Because Global Warming

Summer temperatures miss 100-degree mark in Alabama for only 4th time in 130 years

For only the fourth time since 1883, summer temperatures did not reach 100 degrees anywhere in Alabama, according to Dr. John Christy director of the Earth Systems Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

"Back in the 1800s, there were just a handful of stations but every year from then through 1964, somewhere in Alabama had 100 degrees," he said. "It wasn't until 1965 that there was no 100, then in 1994 and 2001, and now this summer."

So let me get this straight. 

From the 1800s to 1964 (about 200 years) Alabama had hundred degree summers every single year.  Then in 1965 it didn't get there. 

And then in the last 19 years, we failed to reach 100 THREE times. 

Because global warming.  Right.

You must've missed the memo.  It's not Global Warming anymore.  It's Climate Change now.  And this proves exactly the point - see how often it's happening now?  Almost at an alarming rate, right?  This just goes to prove that we need a carbon tax and every person will need to start tracking their own carbon footprint to keep this warming, cooling, change from happening. 

Then we can create a new segment of the IRS to track everyone's carbon footprint and tax them accordingly. 

Think about the children!

It's cooler because all the north pole ice melted into the Gulf of Mexico.  Pretty sure I saw an iceberg out there the other day.

Happens 4 times a year.

Global warming, climate change, oceanic cooling - what the hell does it matter?  The planet will never kill us because Jesus will rapture us before that ever happens.

I don't know about you guys, but I sure am enjoying the 90+ degree weather during football season.

The "nip" (or taint, or whatever you want to call it) is a thing of the past.

YOU LIVE IN FUCKING NEW ORLEANS, it's supposed to be hot

86 today in Auburn. 87 tomorrow. Get your jackets ready for football season.

And if the Rapture really is some of your justification for being as flippant as you are about climate change, then...frankly, that's terrifying.

Happens EVERY year.  Early season football games are played in southern ovens.  Every single year.  Two or three games where it's roasting.

I remember going to a game in the late 60s and watching people sweat through their shirts and ties. 

There's no climate change.  It is what it is and has always been.  It goes up and down in cycles.

I know that you, and pretty much everyone on this forum that has posted on the subject, thinks that climate change is 100% grade-A bullshit.

It's the rapture part I hope was a joke.

I thought we were friends.  I'm the guy that has ALWAYS supported the notion that climate change is real.

Real.  Just not man made. Natural and cyclical. Period.

Yeah but that's not what he said.  He said 100% grade A bullshit, which hurt my feelings.  It's like no one respects me.

Hey, you're the most respected po.....wait, no you're not.  That's me.

Grade A eh? That's rough.
