Some of this is coming your way shortly. We get snow and cold like Colorado, but it just doesn't make the whining national news.
Your kids are being indoctrinated by socialists with an agenda. Perhaps you can get them to a quality private school before they experience permanent brain damage.
Maybe so... but will it be equally as annoying?

While what you say is true it is important to note that in each of the cases cited in your last sentence, they have successfully changed world opinion and accomplished their stated goals; why should we think it will turn out different this time?
With 6 billion people it would seem that wasting a few is very little damage for a battle as serious as this.
They have practically won, already we see carbon-trading and such, even if it proves later to be complete ineffective, it will still have the patina of good intentions and, at most, just appear worn and dated like statues in old and neglected parks.
By then we will be knee-deep in the next world crisis with so much work to do.
Where we live in Northern Nevada, it was -1 last night. And the wind blew all the powdery snow cover off the surrounding hills. Baby, it's cold outside.
Global warming will take its own course and have very little to do with man's activity, unlike microclimates which man can very well screw up with deforestation, overgrazing, etc.
Shutting down modern industry and getting everyone to ride bicycles will do about as much to combat global warming as taking a leak on the beach will do to add to the supply of water in the ocean.
If, in fact, global warming is the imminent danger so-called scientists claim, a proper response would be to get people to move to Siberia and digging a canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Qatarra Depression, a move that would create a new 7000 square mile sea, enough to displace the estimated water in the polar ice caps. It would also turn the largely uninhabited area surrounding the new sea from desert into coastal climates similar to the south coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
And this is just one example. Other large inland seas such as the Caspian, Aral and others are in dire need of water.
The Earth is not static. For millions of years, average temperatures have either gone up or down in long-term trends. This is caused by the sun.
The whole hysteria about it being "our fault" is nothing more than international socialism/communism's attempt to bring down the USA, their chief adversary, via the Kyoto Protocols. The KP would force the US to pay out gazillions of dollars to third world countries and assist them with anti-pollution technology. For free, of course.
The leftists want a socialist world government. They're prone to fear-mongering, Eco-hysteria being one of their many tools to achieve this. The belief that global warming will destroy the world is but the latest one of many hysterical notions created by the Left. 7 years ago it was Y2K, 15 years ago it was "the dying oceans", 20 years ago it was "acid rain" and the "ozone hole", 30 years ago it was exactly the opposite -- global cooling, "the coming Ice Age". 40 years ago it was Rachel Carson's "The Silent Spring." (which did away with the valuable pesticide DDT, causing millions of unnecessary deaths [malaria]in the third-world countries lefties are so concerned about)--and on and on and on.......
I learned a long time ago to ignore the sonzabitches.
Yes, and we all know to listen to Mr. Heston, he was Moses, he's got a direct line to God;)
just funnin'
If anthropogenic global warming is true, then how are we causing the Martian polar ice caps to melt? A simple question the Lefties are never able to answer.
Also there's a great middle-school age text about envirnomental issues called," Facts, not Fear". Its put out by Regnery publishing, written by Micheal Sanera and Jane Shaw, and covers all the so-called envirnomental crises.
It uses real facts and economics to counter each of the so-called environmental crises. I have my middle-schoolers read it for science in our homeschool- it's excellent.
If you can't project the weather "FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD" with certainty for a week, you can't project it for the next 20 years. It's simply one of those uncertainties.
This site has a lot of good scientific information:

And this one provides some satirical humor

Seattle has been in the teens at night for the last few days and is frozen solid.
There is no gd norm. It's cold in the winter and warm in the summer.
The crops grow and then there's snow and please tell Gore where he can go.
Read Michael Crichton's "State of Fear". It is a impeccably footnoted utter devastation of the global warming myth set against a fictional backdrop. You'll love it.

NOAA Reports 2006 Warmest Year On Record In US
Review the chart that accompanies the article. In particular, the "long-term mean" -- which is more relevant to the discussion than the year-to-year data.
Note how, in 1895, the long-term mean was 52.8 degrees.
Follow the dead straight line all the way across the chart to 2006, where the long-term mean was...52.8 degrees.
In other words, according to NOAA, last year was pretty damn hot. But NOAA's data also establishes that there has been no evidence of a long-term warming trend in the US over the past century.
21 degrees this morning in Las Vegas...won't get much above freezing today at all.
