Survival of the fittest or population control !!!

Steve, did you get there from mi.

MI to PA to VA. There's probably a song in there somewhere. :D

Be a while before I can sleep since the truck is rocking so bad the cabinet doors are opening and closing.

the weather patterns are a changing....
NASA GISS, NOAA and the UK Met Office’s Hadley Centre have all previously carried out independent studies, which reached the conclusion world average land temperatures have risen by (close to) 1 degree Celsius over the second half of the 20th century. [See also their 2010 temperature records.]

Now a new study, this time conducted by a team of University of California Berkeley researchers, has investigated 1.6 billion meteorological records. The data come from 5 times as many stations as in the previous studies. Again, however, researchers find exactly the same quantitative results for global temperature rise.

“Our biggest surprise was that the new results agreed so closely with the warming values published previously by other teams in the U.S. and the U.K.,” says Professor Richard Muller, who led a Berkeley team of climatologists, statisticians and physicists, including Saul Perlmutter, who earlier this month won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics.

They have some swamp land for sell too.

No. I didn't think you were worried. I was just trying to sing you to sleep.

Ken, you still here. Karen called with an opp. For York, pa but didn't want to chance being stuck over there for the holiday plus if things slow up its a much further dh home via mi. Need to get to the yard before we go home to get some graphics work done for the expo before we head to the house. Might have to end up dh to the yard if nothing comes through.

It is getting warmer without a doubt.. I would call it a warming trend

I would call it natural cycles of the earth. One reason they show warming trends is because many stations they use to compile data have been moved to warmer spots. More urban, lower in elavation etc. They are playing some games for sure. Not saying it hasn't warmed just not as much as they like to claim.

I think it's warmed up, and probably just as much as they say it has. But I also think they really have no idea what causes it, not anything they can point their finger to, anyway. I like all the records. The other day one place a a record high for that date, June 25th. Wow. Golly. 138 years earlier on June 24th it was 5 degrees hotter, but on that glorious 25th day of June, it's never been hotter. The record, and not that it's done it before, before man started messin' with the atmosphere, got the headlines.

The Solar System is weaving in and out of a massive spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, which necessarily affects the conditions within the Solar System, which necessarily affects weather patterns here on Earth. And they are arrogant enough, some are stupid enough, to say the warming and climate change in general is all human-induced. For most people it's nothing more than an unsubstantiated illusory corollary, the phenomenon of seeing the relationship one expects to see in a set of data, even when no such relationship exists. They see this data, and immediately make a connection to cause and effect, even though no cause and effect have been established. It's also why stereotypes form and endure, and it's the bread and butter of junk science.

Have survived the 1600+ mile run WITHOUT AC, and delivered on time - and I'll be honest, when it hit 106 in the sleeper Sat afternoon, I wasn't sure either was gonna happen.
The sleeper AC is probably going to be replaced with a rooftop unit, the boss is working on which one, who will install, etc. The cabin AC was 'fixed' a few weeks ago, but isn't working now, and I'm just noticing trails through the dust [too hot to clean!!] under the dash, so a leak may be the problem with that. One of those issues that seems to become apparent on a Friday afternoon, just after picking up a load, right?
:rolleyes:
Whatever - it's a motel for now, and some literal chilling out time.
