AGW?

The physics says No. (Just look around: you’ll find it. Or if you need to be led by the hand, just ask and we’ll direct you.)

The data say No (just look at the last 11 years).

The computer models say No (all the tropical mid-altitude effects aren’t happening).

The sunspots say No (What’s happening looks like the beginning of the Maunder Minimum).

So why is this ugly business happening? I don’t know. When we might be well into a fairly serious big-or-little Ice Age, we’re being fed this Global Warming business?

For our part, we’re looking at moving South. Since 1 degree F. equates to ~50 miles of latitude, we’re looking to shift from NW Washington to roughly 500 miles south: 10 degrees of temp change.

50 years ago you could grow citrus in southern Georgia. Now northern Florida is iffy.

The Taiga (the transitional belt between arboreal forest and tundra in both the NWT and Siberia) has moved 400 miles south in the last 50 years or so.

Are we so dadblamed sure that Anthropogenic Global Warming is real? On what evidence?
