YOU are the prime example of only hearing what you want to hear. Where do you live in a cave somewhere? I don't just watch my local news. We are not talking about a storm or whatever happening and then a couple of years later another, we are talking about every day there are things happening all over the world! I am beginning to think we don't live in the same world.

In reality Dipracers storm history etc are basically meaningless, we can all pick selective figures to suit our own particular argument, I myself tend not to, as like Dipracers, they would really be meaningless, as I would tend to pick those that would suit my argument.

Your last was a bit over the top, was it not, even for you.

It could have been 212 degrees in the 1930's in Canada and the Global Warming Sheep would still say it's worse now.

dlpracer, you're making excellent point with your storm history data, but you are missing the point.

Human-caused Global Warming is a religion with these guys, so you can't convince them with historical facts. Their prophets are the infallible scientists who are predicting Doom and Gloom. Their Holy Father is Algore. And in their mind, the debate is over. According to the Holy Father, Global Warming is now a moral issue.

You are an infidel. Give up before you are sidelined.

I won't hold my breath waiting for your current weather facts to beat these....

And in 1936, the deadliest heat wave in Canadian history hit Manitoba and Ontario. For almost two weeks in July, temperatures more than 44C left 1,180 Canadians dead, mostly infants and the elderly. Four hundred of those drowned seeking refuge from the heat. According to Environment Canada, the heat was so intense that steel rail lines and bridge girders twisted, sidewalks buckled, crops wilted, and fruit baked on trees.

1923: Marble Bar in Western Australia experiences 160 consecutive days of maxima reaching or exceeding 37.8 0C (100 0F) from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924.[24]

July-August 1936: A heat wave across the Midwest and Northeast U.S. claims 5,000 lives. Record temperatures from this event still stand across fifteen states.

Try again.

Over the last, I don't know how many years, when I have been watching the news, there has been many times that I have heard that certain places that have never had snow, tornadoes etc. have got them. Please do not tell me I don't know what I am talking about. I know what I heard.

Yes, sometimes when I get mad, I get carried away and say things I shouldn't. I just get very frustrated when people can't see the obvious.

What is a kneecapper?
