REports of record lows and/or record highs are meaningless, unless those 
events are related somehow to the overall changes. Nature has always been 
complicated. The complications increase as conditions change.

            What I wrote is correct, that 'amplitude' is a meteorological 
phenomenon where the "depth" of the weather becomes greater. Like I explained, GW 
adds energy to the atmosphere in the form of warmer temperatures - sort of 
like a pot having a flame under it. But a better analogy would be ocean waves. 
Ocean waves are caused by wind and low pressure adding more energy to the 
ocean. This energy translates to higher waves. The greater the winds the higher the 
waves. In the atmosphere the greater the temperature the greater the 
reaction. The atmosphere also creates bigger 'waves' but they come in the form of 
deeper troughs and weather patterns. Imagine these patterns as the peak and trough 
of a large wave of airmass. Cold air is driven deeper south and warm air 
further north. The cold front trough itself also has more amplitude (vertical 
depth), meaning more power. Record lows followed by record highs a few days later 
are examples of deeper troughs and higher peaks so to say. This winter's warm 
spell could also be a seasonal shift in weather patterns possibly caused by 
atmospheric energy causing changes in patterns. The correlating data set is 
annual temperature average - which has been steadily rising. Something "Dawg" (and 
even Addleton) completely fails to realize.

          It is very possible that the lack of hurricanes last season was due 
to upper level patterns punching into the hurricane belt due to these 
energized pattern shifts.
