Don't lie you've prolly had it marinated in Live Oak then smoked over dried Oak
Speaking of which, the LO owner just sent me an email last night that he's FINALY brewed the Czech Cerne that I've been begging him to make for 20 years.

Looks like Sober January ends today...

I have not come across any places around here that serve Iguana. 

They are much more prevalent on the East side of the state, although we have more than enough here.

Crossing (or not) the 1.5 and 2.0C thresholds | Climate Etc. (judithcurry.com)

All of the components of natural variability point to cooling during the period 2020-2050. Individually these components are not expected to be large in the moderate scenarios. However when summed, their magnitude approaches, or could even exceed, the magnitude of the emissions-driven warming for the next three decades.  The odds of all three natural variability inputs maintaining at the IPCC baseline levels to 2050 seems low to me.

She discusses natural variability in climate relative to human CC influences, which is interesting (to me).  I think this also illustrates how complex climate models are today in trying to predict what are actually small changes in mean T.  I learned in the olden days how a model that is too responsive to unknown input variables is often not a good model, I'd say never a good model.  A small change in some variable could have a large change in your output prediction.

And these models are hugely complex, and different, and they can only be compared with previous data on mean temperature, so you can create different models with different weighting that are consistent with historical data that could well be off for the future.

Climate talk on the Beer and Iguana Thread?  Outrageous!

Gotta come down to Texico to get it.  But if you do, I'll take you to the brewery and you can drink right out of the bright tank, just like I will be. :)

I am very very glad to be out of that cold country.  It's cold enough here for me.

We walked a bit yesterday, it was "chilly" but OK in the sun without wind.  My ankle is still sore and swollen but I'm at least able to hobble a bit over a week later.  I caught it right on the bone.

Some friends split for S.Carolina where evidently it's in the 20s

A warm spell is in the offing now with a bit of rain Tuesday.  It gets cold here of course but then it warms up (duh) and can be quite nice even midwinter.

I do wonder how many more years of increasing CO2 levels in our air will folks start to realize it's a lost cause.  We can't even decide to shut down coal plants while China builds more.
