    I wish you guys would make up your mind. I need to know if I need a bigger heater or bigger air conditioner in my boat! :)

    BOTH...climate change will bring environmental extremes. Earlier in winter we recieved more rain in a 24 hrs period than has ever been recorded. Last week it snowed...first snow in 54 years.

    Do you think that has anything to do with the El Nino / La Nina cycle?

    Europe is kept warmer than the States by the Gulf Stream. How is that flowing compared to normal and what is its temperature?

    Dont know. I know those phenomenon influence the climate cycle. Last summer was so dry that the olive trees failed to produce fruit.

    Only observations from a simple mind.. The actual science needs to be explained by scientists

    Is that why my olive oil prices have gone crazy?

    I think I am paying something like $10 per liter and that is a good quality, 100% Italian, Extra Virgin, cold pressed, but no brand. Just a store brand.

    Dont know much about the olive oil industry. Much Italian oil is made from Spanish olives. I believe its just another in demand commodity like corn, wheat...and has increased in price

    . Perhaps they have an industrial use for it

    Don't get me started....:D

    Because I'd have to say it's the people who cherry-pick news articles that seem to reinforce their prior biases -- even if they really don't, after being read carefully.

    A few years ago, my local supermarket started carrying a 50/50 butter and olive oil mix. So when I'm cooking, I rarely use straight butter or straight olive oil any more.... but I suppose that's a subject more appropriate for the cooking thread.:)

    All I know about cardiology is that I'm vainly hoping I'll outlast my heart, and vice versa.

    Neither. Sail south in winter and sail north in summer.

    That reminds me of that winter in Kentucky. I had to draw water from the well for my grandma and I set the bucket down on the porch to go ask her where she wanted it. I came back outside and the water froze so fast the bucket was still warm!
