Beam me to Planet Gore !
No matter what happens, global warming is proven. Really a quite amazing theory as it explains everything perfectly after the fact.
Do the Arctic underwater volcanos have anything to do with this “record melt”? (Underwater volcanos have nothing to do with it. It’s all caused by Americans burning carbon fuels.)
Why is it that last year’s “record melt” re-froze so nicely to normal area last winter? (Underwater volcanos. Everyone knows that hot water freezes before cold water.)
Because this is a leap year, the same date this year is actually about 3/4 of a day further along in the season than the same day last year. (In common years, the calendar runs about a 1/4 day slow per year, after three such years, it “leaps” ahead 3/4 (3/4 = 1 - 1/4) of a day, more or less keeping the calendar in sync with the seasons, long term.)
These guys are particularly brilliant, are they not?

Last year july 17 vs july 17, 2008. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Please note Hudson Bay is still not ice free this year when it was already in June last year. Also, the Siberian weather this year has been much colder than last summer and thus much less melting of sea ice along Russian Coast. No matter, the Branch Algorians have changed the mantra to ‘climate change’ anyways.
I think we referred to it as the “fudge factor”...
Ahh curve fitting; or in layman’s terms, CYA.

For about the next decade, I would expect that everybody who lives North of the Mason-Dixon should get ready for winter colder than they’ve ever seen.
If the La Nina comes back, which it very well might, you might as well give up measuring snow by the inch, instead of the foot.
