Posts Will Be Sparse For A Few Days

Environment

Saw "An Inconvenient Truth" again tonight, this time with my daughters. It's a masterpiece of explication. See it if you can. It's most important message: global warming is happening now.

I'll be leaving in the morning to drive to Pennsylvania with my younger daughter Molly to visit my ailing father. Internet access will be intermittent, so I don't know how much posting I'll be doing over the next few days. We'll be staying in Reading, one of the Pennsylvania cities hit by the flooding. I expect that to be sobering and eerie, after seeing Gore explain how global warming models predict exactly the kind of unusually heavy rains and flooding that we're seeing. Welcome to the future.

This is not proof that the PA floods are the result of global warming. No single weather event can be attributed to global climate change. You write as if there was never a flood before the 20th century. You actually do a great disservice to the cause by propogating such unscientific nonsense.

Oh, please. Read what I wrote. I said I expected it to be sobering and eerie, and it is. I didn't say anything was proof of anything. Obviously no single weather event is proof by itself. But if you don't think the global weather pattern is changing, you're not paying attention.
