THIS WEEK (8-14 APR): Last year was record warm, this year record cold! April is currently tracking as the coldest April in 113 years - a dramatic change from last years #1 warmest ever.
Even after some late month moderation, April 2007 will likely keep the month in the top 7 coldest in history. The Southwest is the one exception, but even here temperatures will cool dramatically late in the week. And, the snow is not over! Short range computer models hint at the possibility of a stronger snow storm from Colorado to Wisconsin late in the week into the weekend. This will be the heavy wet variety.
The week overall is expected to show the greatest change toward wetter weather in two years - another very big negative for retail sales and for early planting of this years Corn and Bean crop. Weather Trends had forecast this to be the coldest April in 7 years and the wettest in 3 years. It will very likely be the coldest in 10 years and wettest in three. On a more uplifting note, Al Peterlin, Weather Trends International VP, reminds growers, “Planting rates can accelerate quickly after a slow start.
Consider 1998 and 2005. In 1998 only about 15 percent of the crop was in the ground by the end of April, in 2005 only about 30 percent. Still, by the last week of May, 93 to 95 percent of planting was complete and final yields were strong.”
"The warming is causing the cooling?" Yea, yea right.
It’s the “Little Ice Age” predicted in the 70’s ... only this one is much, much shorter.
It’s called the GORE EFFECT...everytime Gore talks about Global warming, the average temperature goes down .05 degrees.
and I am the enema.
Nice kick-off for the Sheryl Crow Global Warming tour. Probably need to schedule this in August in the future. (for effect)
Or...
“APRIL FOOLS” Mr. Gore!!
Na...It’s just Gods version of an April FOOLS joke on the Greenies!
HERESY!
THOU SHALT NOT QUESTION the Gospel of The Goracle!
The Athiest Rapture is upon us, and only Radical Socialism can save us from burning in the fires of the Athiest Hell!
(unless you can afford to buy Indulgences from St. Algore, the Televangelist of The Religion Of Global Warming!!)
Seriously... if you’ve noticed, in the past 6 months or so, the Greens, Libs, and Envirowhacko’s have modified their language...
Take note of this... they no longer refer to it as “Global Warming”... it’s now called “Global Climate Change”. This way they can blame ANY abnormal weather on man.
Record High Temps = Proof of Global Warming
Record Low Temps = Proof of Global Warming
Gotta love the “logic” involved in that thinking process.
I can’t believe that next month I’m once again going to be facing a nasty heating bill. Al, Al, you promised me global warming, you swore everything was heating up! And now I’m sitting here in a down vest and fleece pants, freezing to death. How could you have betrayed me this way? Why, Al? I trusted you! I admired you! I didn’t make fun of your hysteria, your vast gelatinous body, the rabid style in which you deliver speeches, or your clumsy, dorkish mental processes. I politely ignored your previous lies and manipulations. And now this. Shall I even bother paying for a pool membership this summer?
Just Mother Nature’s way of making up for December 2006 being the warmest December on record.

"You really should look up the principles behind global warming. It leads to unusual weather in locations as well. Such as....snow in Texas in April."
Gotta love those moonbats! I wrote her back and said, "read what you just wrote! Even you have to be embarrassed to make such a nonsensical statement."
Record high in Fairbanks yesterday. Looks like a hot summer is on the way with temperatures well into the 70s for a couple weeks until first frost in August.
Not in the lower 48.
“APRIL FOOLS” Mr. Gore!!
Al Gore, April Fool.
Five bucks says she didn't get it.
LOL on a couple of those.
Thanks!
I was cold before I became warm.
Is it possible that Gore is such a lunatic that subconsciously he is still reacting to his loss in 2000 and trying to be president? Especially after what Bush has risen to with 9/11?
IMO, at best this is a controversial issue and it’s insane to have acted as he does, especially with the increase in the global warming causing lifestyle he enjoys.
March was the warmest so I guess it averages to status quo.
In addition to his DEEP carbon foot print, aren't calories a measure of heat, after all? Look at Gore. Maybe the world does feel warmer to him wherever he goes. Hence, global warming is very real to him.
Look at how he handled the senate hearing. Bossy, breaking rules in order to not be asked tough questions, saying dumb*** crap like “the planet has a fever, if your baby has a fever you take it to the hospital” in exaggerated down home twang.
It sure makes Newt Gingrich look like a shaved chimp.
Scientific proof is inversely proportional to global warming as fund raising is directly proportional to the media blitz over the aids epidemic.
Similarly fund raising is directly proportional to the global warming frenzy.
This whole global climate change crap is because the greenies couldn’t get us to use candles, stop driving, and live like the pilgrims so they got a couple people who the press would like (Al Gore?) and started this movement “for the children” only on a larger scale. Now they have all these fool actors giving them money! Anyone want to buy some carbon credits?
The followers of the Goracle are not atheists. Gorebull Warming is a religion. Real atheists have better sense.
Or do you just like being hysterical?
The Earth is warming , I mean cooling, I mean warming, I mean cooling, I mean Excuse me while I check with the weather channel! Al remember the Global warming conference in New York during a raging snow storm?
Especially when they are so nit witted as to miss the point of a thread, and the conservative position on an issue.
So tell me, how are you so certain that GW is man made?
No, because I expect such stupidity on the left. I expect better from conservatives.
What is the point of the thread that I missed, if you don't mind indulging this fool?
and the conservative position on an issue.
Wow. So there's an official conservative position on an issue. Tell me, who decides what is the True ConservativeTM position and what isn't?
So tell me, how are you so certain that GW is man made?
What makes you so sure I'm certain it's man made? Making assumptions about people's beleifs is generally not a wise course of action.
BTW, do I detect a concession that GW exists?
In my part of California, no one wears sweaters, too wimpy looking. We wear long under shirts, heavy flannel shirts, and parkas when it drops down to below zero.
Global Scamming!!
Pray for W and Our Troops
Then why act like a screaming child on this thread?
“Is it possible that Gore is such a lunatic that subconsciously he is still reacting to his loss in 2000 and trying to be president?”
Yes, he’s still reacting but he’s trying to be bigger than the President. That’s why he’s taken on a “global” cause.
Look at all the praise he is getting from Hollywood and around the world. In his estimation, it’s more important than being the President.
The mental health community could write books based on this guys behavior.
