First of September, found ripe tomatoes at the local stand. Sheesh.

Global warming, eh?

Once again, a non-scientist confuses "weather" with "climate".

And once again, someone who has absolutely no knowledge of the actual
facts
jumps to an erroneous conclusion.

Right, because one particular cold summer in one particular region has
anything at all to do with global warming.

It was a JOKE, Dave ... you missed that too.

Ah, you see, it's so hard to tell when someone is only _acting like_
they don't understand science and saying "It was cold today therefore
global warming is false", and when they're actually saying that and
meaning it. I've had that conversation with more than a few people
who don't understand short-term vs. long-term trends, and I thought you
were one of them. I'm sorry; I didn't see that you were joking.
