    Maybe.. In 20 years I never saw night time temps at freezing in Arabia. Asir is cooler and mountainous.

    Yes, this is a strong general point, too.

    There aren't very many cases in nature where there is only one cycle or other phenomenon to be considered.

    I don't know why? Changes in Earth's orbit? Changes in Earth's axis? Changes in climate? Introduction of humans who in short order can rape Earth?

    I have the answer… Let all the immigrants who want to come here go to the desert with fans and cool it (sarcasm alert)

    This is a really stupid thread .. We could NEVER desalinate enough water to water the world's deserts... and this silly fantasy doesn't include what sort of power would drive desalination. :eyepopping:

    What is "Mike's Nature trick"?

    Who is Mike and why were they (so-called "_____climatologists") conspiring to trick (aka deceive) the public, in your opinion?

    Why not?

    Are you choosing to remain ignorant?

    I'm not going to waste time playing your word games.

    If you have something to cite, then cite it.

    They told you 'they have absolutely no idea what you are talking about' which means they need clarification from YOU...not ignorant insults...

    If... we truly are facing the possibility of a one hundred TRILLION dollar meltdown in the world's Derivatives markets....... that could spread to other parts of the markets.... then somebody somewhere should come up with something constructive that we can do differently?????

    P. M. Netanyahu, President Trump has a 4.3 trillion dollar problem....
