Are you aware of the great debate topic? Where such things are discussed in great detail? With actual science being used?

You might enjoy it.

Depends on what region we are talking about. Certainly the boreal regions experiencing drastic cooling will effect the entire NH mean, and even the global mean at some point.

Especially with the Pacific cooling.

It doesn’t matter how many times you say this, it’ll never be true. Please explain:  
1] Cell division is History, Politics, maybe Theology?  
2] If Climate is not weather, then what, exactly, is climate?

Don’t be afraid now … I promise not to call you a stupid m.f.

First of all, don’t flatter yourself. Nobody is afraid and you can call me whatever the fuck you want, your opinion of me is utterly insignificant.

You said

> [@](#):
>
> Climate is average weather and it’s ranges, and has everything to do with weather. That’s like saying cell division has nothing to do with biology

in response to Left Ear saying

> [@](#):
>
> Moron doesn’t know that climate is not weather but claims to be an expert

which was in response to FX saying, in typically moronic fashion, albeit with out his usual SCIENCE BITCHES checkmate ending:

> [@](#):
>
> Wow, the global warming just isn’t ending this winter. Snow records, cold records, and now comes Titan, the worst storm yet this winter.
> 
> Anyone else sick of this global warming?

So, to review, so you’ll understand. Yes, weather and climate are related, and cell division is obviously PART of biology. But they do not equal each other, no matter how many times you say so. This thread is about climate, which DOES NOT EQUAL weather. That’s what you and FX say whenever a dumbass says it’s hot outside so global warming. Stupid m.f.

To **FuckstiXMasterbate** and **trolldognumberface** :

[This is a YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCXC1tOCB0I) which was made for preschoolers to understand the difference between weather and climate.

If this poses difficulty, I suggest you find a preschooler to explain it further.

Take that science crap to it’s own topic. GLOBAL WARMING IS A FACT YOU CAN’T DENY IT!

Haven’t heard from anyone in Chicago of late. With the cold and snow setting record after record, I wonder if anyone there is wondering “what in the living fuck man?”

Especially since it’s one of the warmest years ever.

Imagine what it would be like if it was a cold year. or if mankind hadn’t raised the global temperature by almost a degree?

It might be really cold then.

If CO2 turns out to be the only thing that saves us from some sort of icy hell on earth, due to unforeseen factors, the irony meter will not only explode, it will take out a large portion of the lulz playground with it.

It really is true. Science and Nature are in a troubled relationship. And every goddamn day science comes home and is still surprised to find nature blowing the neighborhood.

I see you still haven’t found a preschooler to explain basic things to you.

I didn’t want to mention this, but I guess maybe I have to: Are you not allowed to contact children as part of your parole agreement or something?

What on earth does that have to do with what you quoted from me? And from another thread, to boot? Are you just trying to prove me wrong about your talents?

Regardless of one’s stance on the climate issue, this is just lame, on more than one level.

For the sake of the reader, please do better next time.
