"Cold", what record-breaking cold? Here in Nine Mile Falls Washington we have so far had an extremely mild winter. Hardly a trace of snow left on the ground today. It must be due to a slightly different tilting of the earth's axis, maybe caused by the same effect of having too many soldiers on the island of Guam.

The planet wobbles to and fro,
Ice ages always come and go.
The Sun's emissions ebb and flow,
Earth's climate climbs from high to low.
While human knowledge tends to grow,
Too often we forget to know.
Causality ignored brings woe
As human history will show.
Seven billion--where to stow?
Where sufficient food to sow?
Escape to tropics? Much too slow.
Or to the stars? Who goes? Hello?
So this time freeze, not flood, will blow
Humanity’s survival, bro.
If Noah’s brood an ark could tow,
How will we float on ice and snow?
And can a remnant, stashed below,
Preserve our science from long ago?
Rebuild from scratch, all friends, no foe?
And should the Sun its pull forgo,
Its mass shrink down, no heat bestow,
Will humans line up, row by row,
Their rockets into ether throw,
That life and mind not perish though
The primal scream hangs on, “No! No!”

Here in fly over country we call it weather. As the old joke goes, everyone complains about the weather, nobody does anything about it. Al Gore and the "Climate Change" crowd figured out what to do about the weather...tax it!

Maybe, just maybe, the earth and the sun are the ones who control the wealther, and we have comparatively little to do with the oscillating cycles of hot and cold.

Oh your are so right. It is the religion of the power hungry one wrold bunch, who want to use it to control us, nothing more. The UN, Al Gore, NGOs, all want to tell us how to live, and if they can use weather, they are pleased. So are the Russians, who sent Gorbachev over to put the "green agenda" in our schools. They will have us worshiping at the feet of V. V. Lenin, on whose birthday they placed "Earth Day".

I would if there were any chance that this suggestion would be implemented. :-)

In this forum, you're preaching to the choir.
It is common knowledge among those who actually use their minds that climate change caused by man does not reach the level of myth.

Please do be careful on making such a wish!

I don't think there is any reasonable argument against the fact the the globe has been warming. We'll have to look at longer term trends to see if the climate is continuing to warm or not but the real issue to me is whether the warming is predominantly caused by human activity. The metaphysical and incontrovertible reality is that the earth has been in a warming phase since the last glacial maximum about 12,000 years (120 centuries) ago. Since then, North American glaciers that were 2 miles thick and covered all of Canada and the northern US retreated thousands of miles to the Arctic and ocean levels increased almost 400 feet or about 3 feet per century (which is right at the median projected increase for the current century). This was clearly and solely due to natural occurrences as it all occurred BEFORE the first internal combustion engine or coal fired power plant was built. So how are these natural causes which are metaphysical fact now discarded in favor of predictions of the future based on computer models that have a long history of being inaccurate since we humans lack the omniscience to input complete and accurate data. However the historical record is complete and certain.

I guess I shouldn't believe my "Lyin Eyes" or my "lyin freezing behind". We have all got to understand that this is a religion and to toe any other line is to be an apostate.

If this global warming gets any worse
, I'm going to freeze to death!

Now I get it! If something doesn't fit your theory, exclude that data - very scientific. And if you believe that, I have some very nice property for sale along the coast in Kalifornia and for a good price too ;-)

of course it did, the climate changed didn't it?

First one located in Washington DC.
Swampcano.

Global warming solution: man-made volcanoes! (Patent pending). :-)

And, grow our food Indoors!!!

Yes good old sol but Don't forget . Again relatively temporary impact a couple of years at the most but volcanoes will and have cooled the planet. Is there a connection to mans activities and volcanoes ahhhhhhhhhh no.

What we need is an emergency government program to combat Global Cooling. Subsidize fossil fuels and mandate that everyone heat their homes with coal.

Funny...the climate IS changing, but it's Not warming at all. During the Grand Solar Minimum, every 400 years, we see wacky weather patterns, colder weather at the darnedest times and colder winters in general.
The arctic ice is gaining, not melting but this trend was set up by a normal solar maximum, (every other 11 year sun cycle + we are coming out of a 400 year max and into a 400 minimum.

They are right about the recent fridge temps are not Your fault and neither are You to blame for the cycles of the sun...sillies!

Al Gore Man Bear Pig has been laying low...

Typical biased article. They effectively say this is the opposite of everything they have been preaching, but refuse to acknowledge that man is not responsible for ANY changes to climate, not just to these winter storms.
Should have said that human activity, thus far in history and for the foreseeable future based in current technology, is insignificant to all climate changes. The activity of the Sun is the thing that has the greatest effect by far and is likely 100 times more important than all other factors combined. Only infrequent large asteroid impacts temporarily have such extreme effects as changes in solar activity.

I would thank Old ugly Carl for introducing me to the Grand Solar Minimum and Adapt2030 David DuByne's great site.

Dobrien, you put more substance in those two sentences than the reporter put into an entire page. Well done.

Just an all around terrible article. No value other then to show these pinheads are all sold on a warmer planet just as the cycle has turned.p against them. Increased cosmic rays and a weak Magnetosphere decreased solar activity and an increase in Volcanic aerosols as well Atmospheric compression this is the start of the Grand Solar Minimum. It is only going to get colder for the next few decades.
