Who is unemployed fuknard? I've got 2 jobs right now and applying for another today. Don't project your shortcomings on me just because you are "over qualified" to flip burgers and can't make a living stuffing animals.

Fishing is great! DRY? You need to get out more.


Nice pic The Chief.


Ya know, it's easy to make knee-jerk assumptions based on empirical evidence. However, for a real analysis of any situation, you need to look at an appropriate data sample.

In other words, you can't stick your finger in a lake and from that claim there is no drought.

17 year old harlequin duck arrives in Glacier for its summer vacation.

This harlequin duck was first banded by researchers
on Puget Sound 17 years ago,
and could be the oldest known of its species.
It migrates each spring to Glacier National Park.

You've heard the anecdotal fishing trip stories from when the Chaff was a kid... now how about some ACTUAL DATA...



We are well below average.

The south has been drier than 1977 since April.

The north and central have been drier than 1977 since early May.

I know, I know, they are just "facts" and "data"... admittedly less reliable than an 8 year old's memory.

Why do you waste your time trying to explain things, Wes?

They are never going to listen to anyone who disagrees.

Most of them live in the desert and can't grasp the reality of climate change because they don't see it firsthand.

Chief,

John McGuinness took the Senior TT today in a blistering pace with laps over 130mph!

a rider in the Senior went too fast down Bray Hill, lost control and crashed, injuring many spectators, two very seriously.

Thanks for links to glaciation Ed. They seem somewhat neutral. One thing i can tell you for sure is that Alaskan Glacial mass has been increasing over the last several years. Bharata seems to be indicating that the monsoon seems to be getting back on track. So perhaps in the next several years we can count the Himalayan mass as increasing as well as the already increasing Karakoram mass. If you then throw in the observed east Antarctic increase,and the soon to be observed recovery phase of the Arctic sea ice, perhaps Obama will make good on his promise to halt or even reverse the .05 mm yr claimed sea level rise.

?

got a link to one of your sources on that "promise" of the President that he would halt or even reverse the sea level, Rick?

seriously, for some reason I don't recall that one, thanks?

No, thats not it. Forgive me guys. I really don't pay a lot of attention to what your man in the White House says anymore. He has said so many things. Anyway below is a link in reference.

Sorry dude but let's look at the graph again.

YES, let's...

We are well below average.

The south has been drier than 1977 since April.

The north and central have been drier than 1977 since early May.


Look closely. If need be, dawn a pair of glasses.

Just think if the internet was around back when we discovered the world was a sphere.

Just think if the internet was around 50 years after we discovered the world was round.

That woulda been at least 80k posts by now.
