1. Do they know the temperatures are the opposite pattern in the Southern Hemisphere?

Do they know there is a Southern Hemipshere?

3. Wow, hope that is heading east!

5. Not here.

It's suppose to get down in the single digits in the next couple of days.

6. Indeed. The rare 70*F temperature in Rapid City in Jan., as unusual as it is.....

is no more symptomatic of AGW, than a major blizzard in NYC is the opposite. It's not the short-term weather patterns we need to look at, but the long term. And the long term data does say we have gotten warmer, and that certain human activities are responsible for much of that.
