From the article: 'Results show temperature and vegetation growth at northern latitudes now resemble those found 4 degrees to 6 degrees of latitude farther south as recently as 1982.'"

    I'm one of those that owns a lot of property in the north... $1,000,000 an acre Bidding starts on the next heat wave.

    I hope you're also one of those that owns a lot of guns.

    How interesting what happens when big political money gets involved in science: the community is perfectly happy to speak of the 'theory of evolution,' or the 'special theory of relativity.' But when anthropocentric global warming, a theory with much less convincing experimental proof than those two, is spoken of as a 'theory' and not fact, the thought police rush in to deride the speaker as a holocaust denier.

    "Anthropocentric global warming" is not a scientific theory like evolution and special relativity are and hence when the word theory is used the scientific theory definition isn't being applied, instead the common language definition is. Those two definitions are almost exact opposites hence your conflating of them is extremely misleading.
