One of the most surprising effects of climate changes can be found in your closet: With the exception of heavy winter coats and flimsy sundresses, there aren't a lot of truly seasonal clothes in many people's wardrobes anymore.

The move toward seasonless dressing is largely an effect of climate change. In most places in the Northern Hemisphere, the weather is getting warmer, and winters are shorter and less extreme, according to the Center for Climate Systems Research at Columbia University in New York. Radley Horton, a climatologist at the center says 11 of the Earth's 12 warmest years since 1890 occurred after 1996. But in recent years, he says, "there are less extreme differentials between seasons," he says. The result: Spring is starting earlier by a week to 10 days, and fall is starting about a week later.

Increased solar activity means warmer temps for all planets.

Don't let facts get in the way of a real good Lib bullshit story.

Interesting. The Wall Street Journal is more willing to acknowlege the troubles of the fashionistas in marketing to the few than it is in acknowledging that for more and more citizens shopping at Kohl's or Target is getting to be a stretch. Ownsthepodium, hope you live under a nice bubble somewhere. Otherwise, you're going down with the rest of us.

The religion of Gore has done their best but they can't silence everyone forever. The Goracles refused to debate by shrilly shouting that the debate was over. They of course had their own flock of accredited scientists whom where deemed accredited by guess who? Anyways; the scientific community is getting sick of the lies and manipulation and are speaking out. How surprising is it that the libs self proclaimed majority is, once again, far short of such.

Is that podium you own made out of wood or some other sort of buoyant material? If so you better hang on to it.

Noel Sheppard is an economist, business owner, and a featured writer at the prestigious American Thinker. He is also a contributing writer to the Business and Media Institute and a contributing editor for NewsBusters. He welcomes your feedback at costlogic.comtlogic.com.

The findings he writes about are made from a medical researcher, not a scientist, not a doctor. The source of the article also states:
"Schulte's survey contradicts the United Nation IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (2007), which gave a figure of "90% likely" man was having an impact on world temperatur­es."

but your man Noel Sheppard, on NewsBusters, exposing and combating liberal media bias, did not report on that.

So what you are saying is that you are listening to an economist write an article based off a report made by a researcher regarding Climate Change. And even though his conclusions contradict the worlds scientists, who had their report water downed by world political leaders, you still chose to believe his minority voice.

Looks like you have found your new Bjorn Lomborg.

Hey it's labor day weekend, no more white clothes after monday.

Pay attention to what you yourself wrote:

"11 of the Earth's 12 warmest years since 1890 occurred after 1996."

Note the word "Earth's."

The GISS and NASA correction was to the US temperature record only, not to the world-wide temperature record, which did not change as a result of the revised US record.

But hey, never let the facts get in your way.

No they like facts that support their belief system, and will allow their beliefs to sway thir comprehension. Asking them to actually read and comprehend what they are reading is a difficult task.

"Radley Horton, a climatologist at the center says 11 of the Earth's 12 warmest years since 1890 occurred after 1996." Funny thing happened last week. GISS and NASA said that over half of the warmest years in that period occured before 1950. I just love all of this hype. If winters are getting less extreme, then why did we have four blizzards in Colorado last winter? The science is still out on this one. If you want to see how ridiculous the whole global warming thing is, check out the list of everything global warming has been blamed for.

Warmer temps=more evaporation
More evaporation=more moisture in the atmosphere
More moisture=more precipitation

There's more, but I figgered I'd "boil" it down for ya.

"More moisture=more precipitation"

Bottom line: everyone living in the Pacific Northwest (north and south of the border) is screwed. :)
