This is exactly what I was talking about in an earlier post--of how the media makes people believe things that couldn't possibly be true.



I've said this before, but I guessed you missed it. You are another person confusing local with global.



First, the temp. changes over the past 30 years has been what? maybe as much as one degree, if you believe global warming alarmists. (remember, they say it is accelerating dangerously and we could increase temps. by maybe .2-6 degrees in the next 100 years--depending on which computer model you believe) So consider a smaller temp. difference and then multiply by 3/10.



So you are trying to tell me a one degree change is enough to prevent and/or support peach and palm tree growing? If that was true, how could palm trees ever be transplanted anywere without dying? Do you really think all the palm trees up here in northern Ca. can't survive in southern, Ca.? I know for a fact that they can, and we are talking about an average of 15 degrees difference between the two locations. I also know for a fact that these trees (the same species) reproduce in both of these locations.



Or that these palms can't live on two different islands because of the temp. differences in the two locations? THERE IS NOT A CHANCE THAT THESE PLANTS COULD HAVE SURVIVED EVOLUTION IF THEY ARE THAT TEMPERATURE SPECIFIC. They would have been extinct 10,000 years ago. Or maybe you are going to tell me that a plant that grows that slowly has evolved into existence since then?



Just use some common sense!
