I have been informed global warming is not allowed to be talked about on here... So I'll keep my thoughts to myself. Certainly some interesting weather we've been having though!

I hope that this is because it is off topic rather than a scientific issue being considered too political to discuss. Do you know why it is not allowed here?

It could be a calm scientific discussion among adults but it doesn't end up that way, as some make it political. So Rush is a climate expert now.

I am guessing that few are really climate experts if our ability to predict next seasons climate (never mind tomorrow's weather) is any indication. We are really limited to studying what evidence we can gather from the distance past over the eons, and models. The great thing about predicting long-term trends is that you will be dead before you can be proven wrong (or right). All kidding aside, I would love to see offensive posts censored rather than topics restricted, but I guess its like driving with cell phones. Instead of ticketting dangerous driving, everyone gets punished. By the way, cell phone use is not restricted while driving in Indiana, but I don't do it because I can't drive safetly while talking on my cell phone.

I agree RAH, the problem with the computer models we're using to predict the future is they can't predict the past even with known data input. But we depend on them to tell us what will be.

There are not many restricted topics - this is one . The rules are posted. If a topic is such that the mods have to start editing then it needs to go away. None of us want to edit others posts . Its to hard and subjective to put words in peoples posts. So often we delete them which does not make happy posters.

The problem is that the Mods here are a bunch of highly paid, ill equipped, ignorant, lazy, poorly educated, wastrels who have an aversion to having to figure out what constitutes scientific discussions from political ones.
Having to edit or delete a post takes an inordinate amount of PM band width, therapy, and loss of sleep. Thus, they take the easy way out and just say NO.

That is more than subtle; it was buried within several convolutions. But it just takes a second for an equally deviant mind to catch on! I suspect there are a lot of those around here!

Dave, you are truly a man of eloquent explanations. It is so well written, and so easy to understand by each of us, I believe your posting should be added to Cody's professorial and also well written archived rules of posting: Forum Rules & Behavior. Now, back to normal seasonal non-controversial cabin fever fun and wackiness.

No problem RAH. Bob with input from the mods decided a long time ago that when this topic comes up invariably things get to heated and no good ever comes out of the argument. Just raised blood pressures. It fits in the political area as well.
