I have a hard time believing wrong predictions of the globe being hotter than its ever been before when this is the coldest 6 months in over 100 years.

"The coldest six months in over 100 years" globally, or just in the Northern hemisphere? If it is the latter, it isn't necessarily inconsistent with AGW predictions.

Not even in "the Northern Hemisphere"., it's "For much of the country", i.e. parts of the USA.

Here in Western Europe (also, the last time I checked, in the Northern Hemisphere) the winter has been notably mild.

To paraphrase Robert Heinlein, "if some men like to stare at women hula-hooping, then at least some women must enjoy hula-hooping while being stated at by men, otherwise there is something fundamentally wrong with the human species".

If some men like to kill and dismember women then at least some women must like being killed and dismembered, otherwise there is something fundamentally wrong with the human species.

Why does it matter what the ratio is, as long as the ratio is always the same? 16:9 doesn't require changing the aspect ratio because you move from a 32" TV to a 42" one.

But there is no way of sticking together two 16:9 monitors to get one bigger 16:9 monitor.

However, I'm hoping there is some sense in the long term. Eventually we are going to move to nuclear power, or end up being overrun by a country that has done the switchover

Yup, French forces are massing on your southern border as we speak, having sneakily moved up from Guiana.

(Did you know Cayenne is only 3452 miles from Harlingen, Texas?)
