Well, yes, I can readily see our 'Conservatives' level of education and intellect is on the par with the people in Afghanistan.
It seems our fresh water lakes are warming faster than either the oceans or atmosphere

Oh I know, you scared deniers have your 'charts' and your 'polls' and all the rest of your vale of deniability to protect you from the scary world, but its all false. Not surprising that you post a chart of a 'poll' of only US citizens. Out of the 7 billion people on Earth we are 5% of the population, and out of that tiny minority of humanity the tiny minority like yourself that are members of the denier cult are irrelevant. The game is up Percy. The world has moved on but as usual, you cons are left behind to lament and grieve for years about the 1950s.
Whine away!!

Demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is growing around the world fairly rapidly, according to new analysis from the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research — with more than 320,000 new EV registrations in 2014, bringing the total global market up to 740,000 vehicles.
Electric Car Demand Growing, Global Market Hits 740,000 Units
Leaf range over 100 miles now. As the batteries continue to improve, the number of people buying EV's will grow.
The present perception is that the denialists are ignorant losers.
When its not frozen over, right? So it's Climate change when it's frozen and global warming where there's agricultural run off algae bloom

Funny thing about street preachers screaming about stuff they don't want to understand. And can't or won't discuss. They tend to fade into the background and nobody pays them any mind. Any comments ON THIS TOPIC -- preacher man? You noticed any warming in the Great Lake region recently???![]()

The Great Lakes water temperatures are much warmer than this time last year.
It appears we are slowly climbing out of the cold water situation we had last year.
The graphic above shows a comparison of the surface water temperatures July 5, 2015, on the left to July 5, 2014, on the right.
If you scan the graphics, you can get somewhat of a feel that the lakes are warming up more than last year.
Here are the exact numbers, as given by the Great Lakes Environmental Research Center.
Lake Superior currently has a 48-degree average surface water temperature, compared to 44.5 degrees this date last year. The entire volume of water in Lake Superior is one-half degree warmer than last year. That may not sound like a lot, but Superior holds lots of water.
Lake Michigan is more than three degrees warmer on the surface than last year. Currently, Lake Michigan is 61.0 degrees versus 57.7 degrees last year. The entire lake volume is 0.7 degrees warmer than last year.
Lake Huron is averaging 61.5 degrees as opposed to 58.2 degrees at this time last year. It also is 0.7 degrees warmer through its entire volume.
Lake Erie is warmer than last year, but not by much. The average surface water temperature is 68.8 degrees compared to 68.4 degrees last year. The whole water volume is 0.2 degrees warmer this year.
Lake Ontario is almost two degrees warmer than last year. It's 62.0 degrees now and was 60.3 degrees last year. The whole body of water in Lake Ontario is the same temperature as last year, 43.4 degrees.
If we continue to inch above the average temperatures on land, the Great Lakes water temperatures will continue to warm to higher temperatures than last year. This warmer water temperature pattern will be one of the factors that may keep us out of another extremely cold winter.

Here you go.
Oncor’s path forward
For now, Oncor is worrying more about actually deploying storage and using it to improve reliability than it is about changing market structures, according to Clevenger.
“Where our focus now is at is batteries are operationally ready and now we’re trying to find the places where they’re economically best today,” Clevenger said. “The next legislative session is a ways off, but right now we’re working with our operations team to figure out where we can put them today to improve the system.”
When Utility Dive first spoke to Clevenger back in June, he said that Oncor already has five “little bitty 25 kW batteries” on its system. While some had not been on the system more than 6 months at the time, they already had saved more than 900 minutes of outages for customers.
“You start talking about multiplying that across the system and you see how much you can save,” he said.
Oncor’s end game is to get storage as close to the home or business as possible, according to Clevenger.
“We would love to put [a battery] on the side of every home and business but that’s a ways off,” he said. “One of my long-term visions is that hopefully we find someone who will build us a transformer and a battery all in one … Then you start talking about people not ever losing power but in those three-day ice storms.”
Whatever happened to Oncor's big energy storage plans?
If you read the rest of the article, you will see how present Texas regulations have prevented Oncor from saving their customers money with the installation of the batteries. On a personal note, I fully understand how such a battery would save a company a lot of money. Every time we get a power bump at the unit of the steel mill where I work, we lose from one half hour to five hours as our PLC's lose their little minds. We are looking at the cost-benefit ratio of a battery between us and the grid right now.
Not a trend, that was a result of the deepening of the loops in the jet stream. A predicted occurance. I have posted the prediction several time. It was made by Dr. Francis of Rutgers.Oh I know, you scared deniers have your 'charts' and your 'polls' and all the rest of your vale of deniability to protect you from the scary world, but its all false.

Well great.. Because had trend CONTINUED -- there'd be glaciers moving on shore in Chicago this winter..
