P.S. I just got done shoveling at least fifteen inches of Al Gore's global warming off my sidewalk, and more is coming. I heard that Pennsylvania had to close parts of its Interstate highways because they are covered with global warming, and people's cars are stuck in global warming over at the shopping mall.

http://www.stentorian.com/kyoto/#scam for how greenhouse gas regulations are a SCAM to enrich big business, at the expense of consumers and taxpayers. This should be made clear to the Democratic Party's working-class base between now and November 2008.

Phoenix to expect a 80 degree day on Saturday!!!...Al Gore stay away!!!....

While it may be cute to deride the Global Warming crowd because of the snow and cold that we are experiencing, it just descends to their level. The snow and cold is no more of a demonstration that "Global Warming" is false than were the high temperatures earlier in the winter a demonstration that it is true. Local weather has nothing to do with global climate patterns. And just as almost none of that ice in Greenland or Antarctica will melt if there were a five degree rise in the average temperature in those places, if there were a five degree average temperature rise in the northeast, it would still be cold here sometimes.

"While it may be cute to deride the Global Warming crowd because of the snow and cold that we are experiencing, it just descends to their level."

You have not noticed the lefts favorite form of persuasion. Keep telling lies as many times as you can. To offset this one should mock them just as may times.

"Unfortunately, the idea of the self-regulating ecosystem was based on a mistake. It had been derived more from Norbert Weiner's cybernetics(abstract mathematics) than from empirical data. And by the mid-1980s, most ecologists would realize that the fundamental assumption of this mathematics --the notion of self-regulation--was false. There is no balance of nature. Living systems aren't like thermostats. They don't self-regulate. They experience constant, random, and extreme change. The biologists of this era failed to find balance, not because ecosystems everywhere were on the verge of collapse but because there never had been any balance to find." --Alston Chase (A Mind For Murder)

“When the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power”

Unfortunately, "descending to their level" works, as shown by the million$ that "Earth in the Balance" and Gore's movie have doubtlessly raked in for Gore and his backers. The cartoon and 10-second sound bite are (unfortunately) effective in today's political climate.

P.S. All the above pictures were taken with the digital camera set for color, not black and white. (I'm not even sure it has black-and-white capability.) That is what our area really looks like today.

You may have noticed that the socialist post modern greenies have changed the title of their meta narrative from global warming to climate change, just in time too, because the world is on course for a record cold winter. While you, on the East coast were having a pleasantly warm fall, the rest of the world was having unusually cold weather. But it wasn't just one winter that convinced the lefties to change their story, it was the fact that the warming trend peaked in 1998, and since 2000 there has been no warming at all. Now we get a record cold winter.

The only thing about the Earth's climate that scientists know for sure is that it is always changing.

Nice pictures of evergreen shrubs. Alberta spruce, Boxwood, some dwarf juniper, only the spruce get over six feet tall, and it takes more than 30 years to do that. They do not remove much carbon from the atmosphere in the summer when they are growing.

Well, my crabapple tree (which grows quite rapidly in the summer) doesn't remove any greenhouse gases in the winter, because it loses its leaves. The boxwood, juniper (totally buried under the snow), and dwarf spruces keep their leaves, so they must be photosynthesizing with something.

I slightly disagree. Calling them a "Nazi", "racist", "sexist", "homophobic", "specist", "Islamophobic", "ant-social". "hate-filled", "warmongerer", "polluter", "animal-hater", "greedy", and of course "neocon" would be descending to their level.

Mocking them in an absurd fashion can be fun, and sometimes it can draw them out for factual debate.
