Really funny conversation last night at a restaurant: 

So here I am on the Main Line of Philadelphia, leaving this nice Italian restaurant in Ardmore, housed in a converted bank building. After a delicious dinner of Rigatoni and not-too-spicy sausage, Mrs. Intern decided to utilize the 'facility' whilst I cooled my heels in the lobby. There was a pleasant looking lady in her late 60's gathering herself together and she said,

She: It's so hot out...and after all that cold and rain that we have, it's just so strange. I've never seen anything like it in all my born days. (they talk like that out here...it's sort of snotty-countrified)

Me: Well you know that Climate change stuff may be at work here...

She: Oh, I don't believe that for a minute. It's just a lot of made-up hokum. ('hokum'? Wow..)

Me: But didn't you just initiate the conversation with me that you'd never seen any weather like this before?

She: The weather has nothing to do with Climate...

Me: Oh...

Woman's Husband coming out of Men's room jocularly: Are you coming on to my wife? (He was laughing, so this wasn't an issue)

Me: Well, we're already in an argument so our relationship has progressed quickly.

He: I know what you mean.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So the 'climate' has nothing to do with the 'weather'...this is the level upon which these people operate. And these are the educated, pseudo-elite crowd.

Nobody on the Mainline says 'hokum.' *I* say hokum, but I'm originally from Illinois.

5. I know people who absolutely believe global warming is a gigantic hoax

And only yesterday they were convinced that there's climate change going on.

I've tried explaining that one or two degrees can cause more humidity in the air which in turn is why snow storms, tornadoes and hurricanes as well any weather becomes more intense and severe. They think global warming means it has to be very hot with droughts and no rain, and they claim that if the North Pole melts it means the South Pole is compensating by having more snow.

Facts only confuse them.

Yeah, facts always confuse the primitives.

You know, madam, I'm starting to re-think my speculation about this particular primitive.

When this primitive first showed up on Skins's island, and didn't have more than a couple dozen comments, I assumed he was a sophomore in college, pre-med, or something.

Unlike primitive with their petrified fossilized brain cells, decent and civilized people have fluid, flexible minds; we're always willing to change our minds if new evidence shows our original supposition was wrong.

(i.e., we don't judge things by superficial appearances, or by first impressions; we think about things for a while.)

As time went on, this primitive seemed to be a receptionist or cleaning-lady in a dental office.

But the language, the vocabulary, the style, the usage of words, is masculine, and so this primitive is a guy.

With slowly-coming-in new facts and evidence, I'm now starting to think he's probably a mole.

I heard a Meteorologist being interviewed, he said that tornadoes thrive on cool weather not warm weather hence the Globull Warming argument is a lie.

BTW, I guess they still haven't read the East Anglia Memos where Globull Warming was shown to be a lie?

They have those memos on "ignore."  It's so much easier that way.

See! Even DUmmies can be right in the wrong way.......but they still don't know the difference between AGW and natural climate change.

The primitives don't know shit about mankind's effect on the climate.

This is what used to make me rather, uh, grouchy, about the nocturnally foul one, before he was banned here; the nocturnally foul one was a big believer in man-caused climate changes.

The nocturnally foul one lives in urban New Jersey, where his whole entire world, all that he sees around him, is man-made, usually big buildings and highways.  So like all other primitives, he forms his "worldview" on only his world, that immediately around him, concrete, wood, and metal.

The world's, uh, much bigger than that, and the skies reach up into eternity.

The whole of mankind's effect on the climate can be only negligible, if that.


The above's not a tornado; it's just an ordinary run-of-the-mill summer rainstorm down by the Platte River in Nebraska.

I dunno the power of this particular storm, but one similar with it in the Sandhills of Nebraska, in one square mile, for about five minutes, packs more power than tens of millions of Hiroshimas (of course, fortunately, nearly all of it remains w-a-a-a-y up in the sky).

Man ain't nothing, compared with God and nature, but primitives don't want to acknowledge that stark fact.

DUmmy PCIntern is a prolific bouncy generator, who could not possibly be a professional of any kind. He's an entertaining bouncy author, though, whose tales are usually well-written and just absurd enough to be comical.

I have no doubt that earth's climate is changing, and always has, but the changes are far too gradual to be detected in the fleeting span of a human life.
To think that human effort can affect climatic change one way or the other is as foolish as passing a law against continental drift, or blaming American industry for the tides.

A very entertaining book on the global warming travesty is Michael Crichton's "State of Fear".

Frank, that picture is amazing. I've never seen a storm like that. Of course, in this part of Ohio we don't have that much sky.

That's the deal, sir, and that's why the nocturnally foul one made me so grouchy when he was a member here.

"We don't have that much sky....." and probably the urban area of New Jersey in which the nocturnally foul one has his nest has even less than you do.

But the sky's there, trust me.  And it's bigger and more than one can imagine.

Just because one doesn't see something--in this case, because of the concrete, the buildings, the highways, the smog, hovering around the nocturnally foul one--doesn't mean it doesn't exist, doesn't mean it isn't there.

I have no doubt New Jersey is hammered with impressive storms that show the power of God and nature, probably some even bigger than what we get--but one can't grasp their real fury and force unless one is out in the open, away from man-made congestion.

Of course, there's the primitive perception: "If I don't see it, it doesn't exist."

There is nothing extraordinary about that photograph--which is why I selected it--it was just a mundane average everyday phenomenon that was caught on camera simply because the lighting was right, and there was a disposable camera on the front seat of the motor vehicle.

The three gospelks of the AGW Cult.

ONE:
When it is warmer than normal it is AGW.
When it is colder than normal it is AGW
When it is the same temperature it is AGW.

TWO:
When it is warmer than normal, it is climate change.
When it is colder than normal it just weather.

THREE:
SHUT UP!
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I tell you what DUmmies, when Al Gore and all the climate change preachers start living carbon neutral lives then I may take them seriously. The fact that they still have huge carbon footprints shows me they can't be too scared of global warming. Since the experts aren't scared then why should I be?
