So, a couple of days ago I’m reading something about some area of the US getting snowed under, and some areas in the Middle East getting snow... and I made a smart-assed crack outloud.... I said, “Well, there’s that damned global warming causing snow”.
A friend who apparently is a strong believer starts saying, “Well, certainly global warming is causing that. It causes bad weather, and worse-than-normal weather, and things aren’t right any more.”
I said, “Ummm Bull$h!+, so-called man-made global warming should be producing massive amounts of CO2 and CO which is a ‘greenhouse gas’ and in turn that will help hold IN heat from the sun, which in turn is supposed to drive UP global temperatures. Where did you come up with this new twist on global warming?”
Ack, you can’t win, they keep changing the story.
Check out the graph at the top...Ice ages beginning about every 100,000 years like clockwork. Guess where we are at.

Let me guess - the way to avoid an ice age is to reduce our lifestyle and punish capitalism and implement global socialism...
Same solution to fix global warming...
Same solution offered for ANYTHING...
Here in the midwest we’ve gotten more snow than normal. There isn’t much on the ground right now but we’ve got a storm watch for tonight. In any case the ice fishing has been good this winter.
father gore and his people will tell you, will assure you, that global warming is responsible for any global cooling and the reason is the following;
the upper atmosphere, when confronted by the shimmering effects of warm air, tend to sink lower than the warm air, making for a cold surface on the earth which discombobulates the upper and lower layers, thereby causing the intermediate layers to mix between the upper and lower layers, which makes the cold air hug the earth, more and more until it gets to the point where carbon taxes must be passed and oil company profits must be confiscated for earth justice and normalization to occur for mother earth.
understand?
Checked the graph from peak to trough is about 50,000 years. You and I will be worm food when the next ice age is here.
Winter Storm WarningThis 'Global warming' stuff sucks. And I'm REALLY tired of shoveling it.
Rain is expected to develop early this afternoon... then change to snow and sleet from northwest to southeast during the course of the afternoon. Snow... heavy at times will then continue overnight..with total accumulations of 6 to 8 inches by Tuesday morning. The snow is expected to diminish to flurries Tuesday morning... however... strong north to northwest winds gusting to 35 mph will continue to cause considerable blowing and drifting snow.
We got a bit more snow here in Colorado than normal in some areas, and a bit less than normal in others. So... it’s average.
Over all, I’d say that folks who make statements that “hurricanes are worse than they’ve ever been” are full of it. At one point I looked up the stats on hurricanes as recorded for the past about 75 or so years. Looking at the size and destruction of hurricanes, you simply can NOT say that they are any worse NOW than they were “back then”.
People’s memories simply aren’t all they are cracked up to be.
Made up ‘scientific’ data doesn’t count and most of the global warming stuff is simply MADE UP.
No problem,
Global cooling, we’re at fault, Bush is at fault; Gore and Hillary will save us, save the planet, the universe, with a government program. It’s all Halliburton’s fault. It’s a conspiracy by the oil companies to sell more!
Energy released by one solar flare? Amount of energy released if all the earths nuclear weapons were detonated simultaneously? Not .1% of the solar flare. In the grand scheme, we’re insignificant, and our “global warming” fanatics are more or less the same people who years past put the earth in the center of the universe, because after all, in their self important mind, we matter so much that the entire universe revolves around us and the fact that my Jeep gets 18 MPG.
one month of sub 32 temps and snow/frost in vietnam highlands
This will really “frost” the dirty brown rice eating hippies!
Ha...tell that to Obama and his “followers.” THEY are the center of the UNIVERSE!!
The globull warming believers REALLY believe that globull waring causes it to get COLDER!
There is absolutely no way climate change will be blamed on the sun in popular culture. Even the environmentalists can not find a plausible sounding way of linking it to capitalism. And the MSM and Joe Average are either too intellectually lazy or to afraid to defy the environmental movement.
The “Little Ice Age” of recent history came about suddenly, in fact the year preceeding it was quite ordinary. I’m planting a raised bed garden this year! and getting a wood stove... and no wait I could burn COAL!!!
