Reply #7: The issue is the AVERAGE temperature will rise

[texastoast]

The rise in the average affects the weather to act extremely in given years, be calm the next year, etc.

Reading the Farmers Almanac, they pooh-pooh the very idea of global warming and say we are now headed into a cooling trend. They have about an 80% accuracy in their predictions and have been around a long time. Still, they doesn't account for the fact that the ice cores reveal that our current melt rate is faster than in the last 40,000 years.
