Surely the sky should have fallen by now..... if it is going to. According to the following data, 1922 was right near the peak of a transient warming trend in Norway. The same graph slows an upward trend over the last century or so of roughly 1 degree C. The sky may not have fallen yet, but those gradually increasing peaks are threatening to impale some angels. http://www.john-daly.com/stations/bodo.gif (Linked from http://www.weathercharts.org/) -- Joe

Maybe you missed that they all froze out and died, after 150 years? Do you know 'anything' other than politically motivated BS? Do you ever think for yourself? -- Greed is the root of all eBay.

The way I hear it, central Florida got colder than recently in the early 1980's and in January 1977, and there was a freeze even in the Orlando area in January 1963. - Don Klipstein (don(a)misty.com)
