		<description>&lt;b&gt;Teach said: If you want, head on over to the story to read the “reasoning” for this, I don’t like to excerpt that much from one story, and I would have to excerpt quite a bit for the explanation.&lt;/b&gt;

You may want to do that in the future to save yourself the embarrassment.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The AGW Farce Continues: It Now Causes Snow&lt;/blockquote&gt;

LOL!  Once again, Teach, you completely missed the point of the article.  It&#039;s not that AGW causes snow.  The main point was that global warming is the reason that this snowfall is so extraordinary:

&lt;blockquote&gt;If it wasn&#039;t for global warming this cold snap would happen much more regularly. What is interesting is that we are now surprised by this kind of weather. I doubt we would have been in the 1950s because it was much more common.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Teach, you really ought to try to just sit back and think about what you&#039;re posting on before you write it up.  You get so worked up about some new &quot;ridiculous&quot; item, and you seem to skim over some very important pieces of information, which would have negated your point.

You&#039;re making a fool of yourself.  Please stop.</description>

		<description>Another sign of global climate change. Thanks for posting it. Teach London located in the southern part of the U.K. is located about how may miles north of Montreal Canada ? The only reason the U.K. is warm is because of the Gulf Stream. If that currwnt lessens then London will freeze</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Teach said: Somehow, something that has happened again and again and again, and happened before the invention of the SUV, can’t be happening now.&lt;/b&gt;

Of course it can and that’s why it’s important we understand what caused past climate changes so we can see if those causes are responsible for the most recent warming trend.  It turns out climate scientists do have a good understanding of climate change in the past.  There’s an entire chapter on it in the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment report (Chapter 6: Palaeoclimate).

http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/wg1/ar4-wg1-chapter6.pdf

Climate scientists readily admit the climate has changed on all times scales throughout Earth’s history.  And different climate changes had different causes (volcanic eruptions, solar output, etc.).  But those natural causes cannot account for the current warming trend.   

The fact that natural factors caused climate changes in the past does not mean that the current climate change is natural.  By analogy, the fact that forest fires have long been caused naturally by lightning strikes does not mean that fires cannot also be caused by a careless camper.  

Why do you keep ignoring this?</description>
