  3. Be ever so glad that you don't live near Redding California like I did for the last 18 years . Summer temps regularly get over 110

  4. AND AL GORE FLIES IN AN AIRPLANE!!! Anybody who flies in an airplane, you can automatically disbelieve anything they say about the environment.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
