Yep, on an "all nighter", just like the old software engineering days! Old habits die hard, eh?
I just can't believe that carbon dioxide is a cause for warming of any temperatures anywhere. It only comprises .038% of the atmosphere! Of that, only 3% can be attributed to mankind. Laying out the atmosphere gases on a football field, the first 78 yards is nitrogen, oxygen is the next 21 yards. Thats 99 yards, the final yard, except for 2 1/2 inches is argon. Of the final 2 1/2 inches 1.37 inches is carbon dioxide. Of that 1.37 inches, man contributes about the width of a dime standing on edge! So a dime standing on edge on a 100 yard football field is our contribution to the so called greenhouse effect. Sorry, not buying this one! Is the weather changing? Yes. Is it changing enough for us to notice in our lifetime, doubt it. I do know the world has been changing since the beginning of time, and will continue to change to the end. When you consider all the forces that drive our climate, the sun, the moon, the axis of the earth and the wobble of the axis, and others we may not know of, or at least know their effects on the weather. Carbon dioxide is not one of them. It is just a rouse to scare the public so the politicians can tax it! Period! A good book with tons of info is Climategate by Brian Sussman. It comes with footnotes so you can check his info, something Al Gore does not provide!

You're a day (or night) early with this. Tonight is the "all nighter" for the snow statue building at Tech.

it was only 11 o'clock at night in phoenix lol.
Bay between L'anse and Baraga has NO ice for the first time in like 70 years according to a local we were talking to in L'anse the other day. He said they are usually driving out the ice fishing spots in February. Waves crashing on shore by a park with some geese running around on Feb 6th. Just a freak winter, thats all.

Ok ,I see all sides and still not 100% sure yet but we can all learn from this # 1 cleaning up the earth can't be a bad thing

I was talking to a friend of mine one time and he gave me his views on global warming.He says million years ago the world was all jungle then 50k years ago we had an ice age.Then he said he thinks the world is still thawing out from the ice age.I don't know if I agree with it but in some strange way it kinda makes since.

Above are some interesting pictures related to the record cold parts of Europe have experienced this year. I don't want to make light of this, as many have lost their lives as a result, but it is interesting how one part of the globe can have such a mild winter and another such as severe winter.
Seems like it's all the sun and the jet stream, at least to someone like me who doesn't know what I'm talking about.

The tread is really intersting and there are some great comments for various sides but it's too bad that you don't go very far into it before the raw politics enters the picture and begins to displace science and facts. You pretty much know what someones opinion is ahead of time by knowing their political party affilliation. It would be nice to see a day when a discussion of this topic isn't so laced with politics.

Widespread record warmth to continue next 7-10 days; Midwest severe weather possible next week
By Greg Postel
Large parts of the United States are right now experiencing one of the most spectacular March warm spells in modern times. On Sunday, 188 record highs (compared to 2 record lows) were tied or broken in the U.S. and 117 (compared to 2 record lows) on Monday. Similar numbers will likely come in today as well. And record warmth is likely to keep coming for the next 7-10 days.
So far, the record warmth has been centered around the Northern Plains, western Great Lakes States and Northeast (Boston, Hartford, Worcester, Albany, Syracuse, and New York City set records Monday), where temperatures have soared into the 60s and 70s over ground often covered by snow this time of year.
Areas farther southeast … all the way to the mid-Atlantic coast … are just now getting in on similar action as well, though 70s in D.C. this time of year aren’t as stunning as they are in, say, Minneapolis!
