You're saying that the Handmaid's tale meme is a serious political statement?

Considering we know 34 words is too much for him, I am not at all surprised he would take a meme for serious political statements.

He wouldn't be the first.  I had a constant back and forth with a friend who was an umovable Bernie supporter, she wrote him in during the election.  When she was going off on her FB page about Kavanaugh and how he may vote to restrict abortions I put that on there as a comment response.  We haven't spoken since.  Not sorry.

It's been both revealing and disturbing how many people were/are 'closeted' racists, bigots, misogynists and otherwise closed minded idiots. 
Also rather amusing how many people will post shit on their FB page that they would never say 'in public.'

You forgot: homophobes, xenophobes, transphobes, pronoun purists, rednecks, gun nuts, climate deniers, 1%ers, greedy people who don't want to share their money with the government, anyone with a confederate flag and everyone who says Washington Redskins.

[brenthutch 444]

Oh yeah, and Conservatives, Republicans and  Libertarians

Which type of 1%ers, bikers or rich folk (or both).

Tied with 1992.  Anyway, despite all of these simultaneous records happening this year, it's happened before within 500 million years so therefore it's not an issue.  Yes, the logic being that you need to track through 500 million years in order to find examples of things that are all happening within a year.

Absolutely...but it should b called a tie...not a new record.  This is typical of the MSM slant on AGW.

Well, to be fair Professor, it should be qualified with something like:

"A record since we have had complete observational data of the entire planet."

 

Prior to the placement of weather satellites in the sixties, we couldn't see all of the oceans to observe the storms.

Prior to the 1900s (I had to look it up), we couldn't even get timely warnings from ships at sea. They didn't have radios.

 

So it's entirely possible there have been six storms at once in the past. We just have no record of it.
I'd love to see accurate records from the Medieval Warming Period. Lots of weather patterns changed significantly. I wonder what happened with major oceanic storms.

Kallend's source was WCPO Cincinatti which I wouldn't exactly call MSM.  Mine was USA Today via the Weather Channel which stated that there were also 6 in 1992 and 5 in 1971 and 1974.  The single article Kallend referenced is posted in a few other minor news sources but otherwise is not a national headline, not getting any attention - no bleeting.

Sources are describing it as a "modern record", which fulfills your parameters.

It means that it is the same as it was forty years ago when we were in the clutches of an impending ice age.  Giant nothing burger, try again.

You've been spending a lot of time looking up the last time these events happened that are all now happening simultaneously.  What do you think of that?

I'm not sure what you're talking about with the Ice Age thing, btw, some 1970's conspiracy that's supposed to debunk our conclusions on global warming?

September 2019 tied the record for the hottest September ever globally, and broke the record for the hottest in a non El Niño year.

That is the fourth consecutive such month.

What does "relative to 1981-2010" mean?

Relative means that data is considered in relation or in proportion to something else. In this case it means you compare the new data to a second set of data (say, from 1981-2010.)

[airdvr 210]

So you only need look back 30 years to say it's a new record?

Are we really having trouble with the phrase "relative to"?
