It's not about temperature per se. It's about climate, which includes seasonal variations and apparently random fluctuations too. Climatologists average out large numbers of temperature and other readings like CO2 levels, to get rid of the "noise" and see trends, which show year to year increases in general. What would be optimal would be if the climate were relatively stable, so ecosystems could function as they have evolved in various climates. Your response is a typical straw man argument, Chucky. Nobody says that the temperature is "supposed to be" a certain one in any particular place. It's about trends toward temperature increase and its many effects which are increasingly disrupting the lives of animals, plants and people all over the world.
Let's revive this thread and add this story into the mix as its another freshman legislator who's getting attention for all the wrong reasons. This one sure does have a face for radio and oh but that mouth. Are you liberals "woke" yet? Because this wacko sure is!

I think she's the racist no?? A direct attack only to reverse course when someone called her out? Hmm maybe she'll throw her hat in the ring, I think she's of age which makes her qualify.
Steelhead, I took a little jab from a member on the same aisle as myself for doing a little praising of you and CHUCKY. (it's good because I do want to see all sides) But I want to do it again. "THANK YOU STEELHEAD!" You really read my mind and brought up the exact thought I wanted to comment on! But didn't know how to bring it up and you did it for me!
I'll even quote my source, "the Lawrence McDonell" show on conspiracy TV. (MSNBC)
A little background information first. (you know how I have to write a dissertation on all my thoughts!) lol I did not know this, but the Chairmen of the committee (who is black) is best friends with Mark Meadows the one who we are talking about. (so the guy isn't a secret Klans men)
However, this is the story told by Lawerence McDonell on his show. Lawerence said, he and Mark are about the same age and both grew up at a time of major racism going on. They were in different locations but the sediment was the same. Back then when you wanted to disparage a Black. The best insult you could give him or her was to tell them to go back to Africa where they came from!
When Mark Meadows was running for the first time for Congress, he was asked on camera multiply times. If he thought President Obama was a legal citizen to be able to hold the office of the Presidency. (Birther movement) He repeatedly said, "No and should go back to Africa!" (specifically Kenya) That was playing racism to a tee to get elected! So if your playing racism to get elected, that makes you a racist!
Those crocodile tears he shed on camera look a little compromised now don't they Steelhead????? I still encourage you and CHUCKY to watch some of the best MSNBC programs some times. I think you would learn something you wouldn't see on the right wing news outlets! (don't watch CNN) They only get the left over talent after MSNBC hires the best!

And when asked about it, his response?
"I don't even remember that quote," said Meadows then. "Obviously I distance myself from that."
"That doesn't apply to anything I'm doing now," he added.
The ole, "I don't know what I'm supposed to be sorry about, but 'my bad.'"
I miss the racists of my day. They owned up to it and didn't cry when confronted about it.
How can I be racist!? I have a black person in my family!
(As if that was your choice.)
At least he didn't pull out any of the other, 'get-out-of-being-called-a-racist-cards' that include:
9. Your past proximity to people of color.
"My caterer at my wedding was Arabic!"
8. That one time you did something for a person of color.
"I once let a Chinese person get in front of me in the grocery store line."
7. You dated or married someone who is not white.
"Remember the time I dated that Jewish girl? I can't be anti-Semitic."
6. You’re “woke.”
"Hey, I listen to Beyonce."
5. You’re also a person of color.
"How can I be racist? I'm 19th generation Italian."
4. You’ve been discriminated against, too.
"I didn't get into UCLA because you know, Affirmative Action. So i know how it feels to be discriminated against."
3. You have black people in your family.
"How could I be racist? My son in law is black."
2. You've started a sentence with: "How could I be racist if ..." or "Not to sound racist, but..."
and the big one
1. One of your best friends is black.
You know other people then the Big 6 (us who are making the comments) are reading these threads! Hopefully, their learning something from seeing both sides of an argument. When I watch Hannity every night, I wish there was someone there on his show, going BS to many of his thoughts! Our little discussion here, really are more informative then say just watching the Sean Hannity show.
