Darn it's cold here in south Texas also. It's just 54 today.

I am all for that. Let's have global warming everywhere else and freeze DC solid.

If this is true i just realized about a dozen women have to go out with me now. I have to make some calls. :-)

I certainly hope so. That last ice age was only 10,000 years ago. That's just last week in geological terms.

lol +1

Let's hear it for absolute zero... ;)

see? . there's the $ ! . you're the man! -- j

I remember global cooling. The Eco-Freaks were predicting another ice age caused by man. The only thing they haven't tried was Global Neutralization, in which things stayed normal and it caused us to all die of boredom.

If anyone had said "global warming" to me this week in Ohio, I would have hit them. We suffered two nights with double digits below zero, one a record for that day -13 degrees. When we were told it would get in the 20s today, we soon saw six inches of snow piling up. As to saving the environment, why are we losing trees, not to rape of the forests, but to BUGS! We had 12 Ash trees cut down last week, part of a three year project. Now, we are told, more bugs coming in from China will take out Maple, Raintree, and a list of other trees. Now, where are the environmental kooks on this issue - not to be found. It's okay to import bugs that wipe out forests, but not if man cuts them and replants. I am sick of it all, the cold, the snow, the bugs and the liberals!

When you complain about the cold they assure you that 'climate' is not the local, more variable 'weather'. But the campaign exploits the weather, heavily promoting the climate hysteria agenda during the heat of the summer and remaining relatively silent in the cold of winter. When they have to address it they tell you that the cold is caused by the heat.

Yes, it's more properly called Climate Hysteria. They have politicized the weather -- everyone has complained about the weather for as long as anyone can remember, so why not try to politically cash in on it with more emotional manipulation for more misanthropic controls?

Reminder: the earth is warming.

Incidentally, the Arctic may be shrinking but the Antarctic has expanded proportionally...again.


Its in the 80's here in Phoenix all week...t-shirts and jeans. Same old, same old.

Right? I remember that.

It’s awesome when a community can join an effort like that. That is something others see and appreciate, especially the kids.

They don't understand that concept in the slightest. Connecticut has more forested land now than 100 years ago because of alternate fuels and building materials available now. Air is cleaner. The EPA needs a kick to the curb. It's snowing more as I write this. Has been for the past 4 hours. I'm cranking my pellet stove and toasting my toes at this moment. Ahhhhhh

Jan,
you should get a copy of "THE COOLING" HAS THE NEXT ICE AGE ALREADY BEGUN? CAN WE SURVIVE IT? by Lowell Ponte. I believe it will answer some questions for you.

The skiing is seriously of the charts up heah in the cold of NE. Going to VT in a few weeks. Okemo Mt. Friends have houses by it, so we will stay with them. Nice.

This is very nice. No matter how many people with grey beards and long labcoats intone that there is Global Warming, most real people who are freezing their butts off will believe what they feel. (There are always rabid exceptions.) So the colder the weather, the better it is for kicking the legs out from under Global Warming.

As for the possibility of another ice age, I do want to mention that in about 3600BC the temperature dropped and farming (which was about 3-6K years old at the time) became impossible as far south as Central Europe. This temperature drop is thought to have happened in the span of a single year.

I am not an icer; certainly not a warmist. It would be interesting to see a new Ice Age, though...

Jan

huh.

(There - I up-voted both of them, for extensive contributions to amusement.)

At some point the cliimate change mafia will flip again and claim man-made carbon causes global cooling. BTW. Haven't seen much of algore lately.

Thanks, Robbie.
Just commenting in the Gulch is the most pleasurable thing for me.

As the EPA bans wood stoves and shuts down electrical power plants, it will actually come true - Americans will freeze in the dark. Incredible. More Atlas Shrugged Now Non-fiction

True story from Tulsa, Oklahoma. We had a particularly heavy snow (13") and given that Tulsa doesn't have snow removal equipment our Chief of the fire department decided that he would get his trucks out and have them drive around the streets packing down the snow so people could get to where they wanted to go easier. So we had streets covered with half an inch of ice after he was finished. We had to leave it with "He had good intentions".
