But you just said you've been living in nine places the past few years. How does one know the weather history of one place if you haven't lived there long term?

I never said I lived in nine places... i live here.

Yeah, but this is what we're saying:

So, yes, anecdotal.

Dismissing anecdotes... which are also factual evidence... is stupid...

Not you. Just the counter argument of dismissing it that so many do.
 
Threegoofs said:
Oh.

Well sorry to hear about your recent weather.

Not sure why you started a thread about it.

Just more evidence that we are not doomed.

I can dismiss an anecdote about snowfall in one area on one day as any kind of evidence regarding global temperature trends, actually.

Because math.

Look, climate is not something you can possibly measure via personal, anecdotal observation. Nobody can do that. It's impossible.

There's nothing to dismiss here. "It snowed one day in one place" isn't evidence.

Uh. No. This by far one of the coldest summer's in the last ten years. Pretty much everybody sats the same thing.

Lol, so basically you do not know the difference between weather and climate. Should you really be here advertising such a lack of understanding?

Whose everybody? Your best friend looking up at the clouds and saying it is cold today? Climate change creates extremes of weather so yes, you may be going through a cold period of bigger low pressure systems moving through.

You do understand we are also entering into a la nina stage.
Can La Nina save the world & NZ from record hot temperatures? | WeatherWatch.co.nz
July was the world's hottest month ever, according to NASA, the tenth month in a row to break temperature records globally.

But help may be on the way in the form of a developing La Nina weather pattern -- it just may not arrive until 2017.
Yesterday, NASA confirmed in a statement 2016 had seen the warmest July ever, with air and sea surface temperatures almost a full degree above average, compared to measurements between 1951 and 1980.

Since October 2015, every month has set a new global record for hottest temperatures.

It coincides with an unusually strong El Nino Pattern which caused severe heat and drought across Southeast Asia, as well as raising temperatures globally.

115 or so years of records? So you are admitting you don't understand what history is?

Where is history denying climate change? Once again, please do not keep avoiding the question. Do you actually understand the difference between pointing out todays weather pattern and the word climate?

Of course and noting i have said contradicts that...

.... and keep? Try once.

... history is not denying it... you are ignoring our lack of knowledge. Tossing out 'record gi

High' is meaningless.
 
Bodhisattva said:
Far out in front. It is a saying used in English. Pretty common.

Means it is on of the coldest summers we can remember in that time.

No, it simply doesn't make sense to say "by far one of the coldest summers" in English.

You could say that it's "by far the coldest summer" which would mean a summer that is much colder than all the others. Or you could say that it's "one of the coldest summers" which would mean that it is one of a number of summers that were very cold. But saying "by far one of the coldest summers" is just nonsensical. If you want to convey actual meaning, you have to use language properly.

Not at all you are simply still trying that old excuse we need to know more. It really is kind of pathetic considering the amount of information we now have on it.

Try once? i wish you would.

Australia. I know what the weather is like here Bodi, I live here, you don't. Our Summer isn't cold, far from it.

It has been, by far, one of the coldest summers.

Go take an English class.

I didn't say it was cold there, did I?

No. I never did.

Listen, if you don't even know enough about statistics to realize this, there's nothing else I can say to you.

Really are you also advertising the fact that you have no clue how science works? Nothing was said about not learning more only that your disingenuous claim of not knowing enough is a fake response.

I talk about about our current understanding due to a limited history of scientific knowledge that you accept and you accuse me of scientific ignorance. M.kay...

Whatever buddy... :lol:
