As of right now they are predicting a 60% chance of rain for Sat Sept 29
but last week they predicted rain and hardly one drop fell during Navy game.

I think they are doing this intentionally to sabotage SMU crowds.

Global warming?

I'll start worrying about it on Thursday.

Global warming?

I think we're going with "climate change" now.

According to some of the loons out there who appear on some of the national news outlets, our president is responsible for the development of Hurricanes and the various weather outcomes.

Perhaps we should send a letter to the white house asking for a rain free Saturday?

One could argue that if a person in leadership continuously takes credit for something they had nothing to do with, they should probably expect to be blamed for things they had nothing to do with as well. Two wrongs don't make a right, but it is how most people in our society operate.

As for climate change and the influence of humans, I'll throw my lot in with the scientists over any politicians on either side, thank you very much. You can discredit science all you want to, but they certainly know more about it than lawyers, political science majors, or journalists.

We really need to start worrying today (now). You can never have too much worry when it comes to weather and Mustang football. It's the difference between a "crowd" of 9,400 and 6,705. And what if the high school bands don't show up? "Don't worry, be happy." Hogwash.

If GW is there, his weather machine will protect us like it did vs Navy.

It was always climate change due to global warming. A certain crowd (cough) began using climate change exclusively to avoid the warming word then lo and behold the same group said "Why is it climate change now instead of global warming????"

Inb4 "global cooling" where only 7 papers out of the 70ish before 1980 predicted cooling.

If you super zoom in on that picture, you will notice a big spike in the red at the very, very end. It is hard to notice because the picture is in terms of thousands of years.

And that spike is actually the point. We have oscillated between warm and cold forever. But human impact has amplified this latest warming cycles.

Thanks for the image!

BTW, many people who deny the human impact on climate change also believe the world is only 4,000 years old. Shouldn't that graph be shortened?

Flat earth, didn't go to the moon, blah blah blah. I get it that science is wrong some times. But the scientists have a hell of a lot better chance of being right than I do. Or you. Or politicians and newscasters...

[Stallion]

Its amazing that SMU isn't a Top 50 University when so many of its graduates seem to have bought a petro-business, political argument over overwhelming scientific consensus.

moving on now to evolution...
