But it's also too easy to cook them inside that tent when the sun comes out... and their survival can still be dicey if we get more nights down into the low 30s. Even if the plants don't die, They can get set way back by cold damage.Westside guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171473508596734156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-51538319399201466582012-04-11T07:50:43.077-07:002012-04-11T07:50:43.077-07:00Bill,

I am saying that we can point the finger of global warming on the central U.S. heat spell last month. That statement has nothing to do with ocean acidification and the profound warming that will occur by the end of the century. Those worried about global warming must be careful about misidentifying and overhyping weather events....it undermines the credibility of those of us worried about GW.Cliff Mass Weather Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948649423540350788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-55551236634484891872012-04-10T22:57:16.349-07:002012-04-10T22:57:16.349-07:00WRT "At this point, there is no reason to exp...WRT "At this point, there is no reason to expect this pattern is due to man-caused global warming."<br /><br />What is the point at which you admit that climate change is "man-caused"<br /><br />Do we wait for the ocean to rise, maybe three feet? <br /><br />Or, maybe, ocean acidification has killed off 50% of species?<br /><br />Maybe just track global temperature rise?<br /><br />Cliff - I love your posts and observations... but you're missing the boat on man's influence of our climate<br /><br />Thanks for your ongoing workBill Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083214766445122316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-42532554144256718362012-04-10T19:15:36.684-07:002012-04-10T19:15:36.684-07:00I am itching to put out the tomato plants.

The European model seems to suggest the warm front will last through Monday, while other models have a cold front moving in a bit earlier.<br /><br />Thanks a lot for all your amazing blogging!
