why shouldn't we talk about our disappearing winters and lengthening summers?

Theres a whole forum for that.  Thats a great place to discuss 30 year averages all over the place, not just here.  You could link those discussions here anytime.  Too many posts here about a warm day or a string of warm days this year are the fault of man made global warming especially this year, when we have 1 really above normal month since December.  It’s just thin gruel in the context of the weather.  

global climate writ large, thats the right place because this is a hot year on a global scale.  It’s just not that hot here this year in extremis over the last 40.  So lets keep it to weather.

No such thing as current weather in the obs thread, you should know this by now.  5 people control this thread and 1 awful met that said Erin was going into the Gulf.  

You're free to post as much as you want. 

No one "controls" the thread.

The weather observation forum that spends the whole time talking about 30 year averages and climate change.

 

Was it supposed to be this cloudy and drizzly today in any forecast? I was quite surprised

The hourly guidance showed mostly cloudy skies this morning. The clouds should break late morning/early afternoon yielding to partly sunny skies.

It would be pretty weird to discuss hyper local temperature and precipitation trends in a general climate change thread. 

And departures don't mean shit anymore unfortunately when they're shifting so quick. 

Your -1 was considered slightly above normal just 5 years ago. 

I'd rather discuss overall monthly averages and rank them coldest to warmest according to the available record than use departure.

Not only that but no one is required to actually read each post. I can't be the only one who scrolls through the thread and read only the stuff that interests me at the time. Suns out, guns out here, 76/71.

I love climate change talk because I love winter. And my favorite season is Autumn, the biggest casualty of climate change.

Is there a way to link a response to something on this thread to the banter thread?  I hate responding to non-topic "discussions", and further clogging up the thread, but I can't help myself...

It’s a freaking online weather forum. Who gives a shit if a discussion “belongs” in another thread. What a bunch of babies. 
 

if you don’t like a post don’t read it. We discuss weather here. Yes even as a believer in climate change some of the posts are excessive, I just don’t read them and scroll on, like an adult.
