M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
Hi Nelek, I'm stumped, what does MDV stand for ?

You deny, then, that penguins are suffering ?

Nobody knows if they are, except for the guy who talks to penguins.

Do you question the sworn testimony of Penguin whisperers, then ?

Nope, I question their sanity.

All I was saying is that some places are cold, other places are colder still. Antarctica's a big continent. This same sort of focus on one reading is what brings mass hysteria to mainstream media. Headlines like these are also called clickbait.
And all I was implying is that your comment has no relevance to the matter - it is essentially (1) misdirection, or at beest (2) attempting to marginalize or even ridicule the event. Like if someone reported 45 C (113 F) where you live. Well - it's hotter in ovens all around the world . . . Because of the rather unfortunate politicizing of climate change, beyond posting that the information that the event occurred, the topic is veering towards what was often soap-box fodder - a comment I made to the original post

Ultimately my goal wasn't to ridicule the event. It was to ridicule the way it's being reported--clearly the intent was to blow things out of proportion. Clearly it worked.
Do you really believe that extensive Arctic and Antarctic melting - in our life time - is of no consequence? New records - beating the previous record of only in 2015? Fortunately, whether patterns aren't quite that simple or some populate islands low-lying islands are not yet under water. Polar vortex, it seems, is effectively offsetting some of the effects of the warming on the outer shelf. A similar strengthening of such a vortex in the Arctic has caused some unusually long cold spells in otherwise temperate zones. Cold enough to kill some deciduous trees. The point is, it's not overblown and is far more important a news post them the color of Kim Kardasian's underwear of some sports figures marital problems. Whether they live or die has little effect on things - melting of the polar ice caps? That has an effect on whether flaura and fauna do live and die. Climate change or a decade or two of unusual weather - this is an important observation.

Okay, but can you understand how the average 76-year-old with one good eye, infected with rabid curiosity, might stumble over the lack of apparent connection between MDV and Nelek ? :omg: Can my acronym be DALI ? cheers, Bill
