I love how they’re saying that global warming is a taking a few year break before it really hits hard with a vengeance! What a load of crap. The 7-day forecast gets unreliable on day 5 or so, but the greenies know the weather for the next 40 years. These people are such lame-asses, I can’t believe that most of the country is still buying into this global-warming garbage.

THAT is exactly how I discuss "global warming" with the younger set.....they GET it if you do.

The next press release from the White House...

“Due the the newly voted on Cap and Trade bill Mother Nature has taken the hint and reduced temperatures. We expect that Florida temperatures will follow suit once full implementation has occurred.”

We had a June Gloom going on for the better part of the month here in Glendale, California. It’s the term we use when the marine layer stays inland for weeks a time in our region, mostly in June or close to it.

While it was overcast for much of the month, the temperature was a nice 70-75 degrees. It was actually a very nice period of time if you were outside, at least as far as the temperature was concerned.

Some people get real tired of not seeing the sun much during periods like this.

Global Warming, is weather, just a name change to invoke fear in the ignorant and stupid sheeple as well as a way to tax the Hell out of us all by politicians and world leaders to take more of what we have!

Short and simple, nothing more!!!

Here in Washington D.C., it's the coolest July 5th I can remember in my lifetime.

There's a better chance that Al Gore's fossil-fuel guzzling airplane will slam into my house than there is that I'm going to die from this nonexistent global warming B.S.

They’ve been heavily indoctrinated in school. You can’t blame people if they are bombarded with it day after day after year.

The media has gone lock stock and barrel into it too.

It’s propagandized constantly, and even the Saturday morning cartoons are geared to deliver the ‘Al Gore’ mantra.

Same with Utah. Temperature at my house (Roy, UT) was in the 70s yesterday when it’s usually near 100 on July 4th. We got over 4 inches of rain in June when we usually get about an inch.

Same with Utah. I reminded my wife: I’ll take this over 105F and not a cloud in the sky any time. I’d rather coordinate my yard projects between hit-and-miss rain storms than doing them while being cooked.

Now that’s nice, although I can’t complain about the nights in the low 60s here in northern Utah.

Temps are about normal here in North Texas. It’s due apparently to the jet stream not pushing as far North as it usually does, so all Y’all up there in the North are still trapped in a Spring pattern, while summer has more or less arrived here. I expect that it will be a bit wetter here this year, but that we will still get normal Texas heat.

“Sorry about the caps... Blame NWS...”

One of my pet peeves. Weather services everywhere seem to have some sort of romantic attachment to the Teletype era. Fortunately, there are some on-line case-changing sites to make such bulletins more readable. The following was converted here: http://www.textcaseconverter.com/

I can recall times in my life when one part of the local county was doing fine while anothere part just a few miles away were experiencing a drought. It’s weather and it works within the system initiated by the Creator.

I think your wife and mine see it about the same. She gets tired of it after a few days. Hey, it can last for a month as far as I am concerned. You see, we go from about July 1st to October, November, perhaps even December without seeing much of any moisture. It’s about four or five months of nothing but sunshine day after day after day.

I’ll take a period of low clouds for a change of pace.

What really cracks me up about the weather, is the local weather forecasters and talking heads. We go months without rain, and they constantly tease with statements like, “Is there rain in our future? Coming up, the weather with _____.”

So after months of no rain, a storm comes in. I swear it hasn’t been raining for half an hour and the teaser changes to, “Will this rain ever stop? Coming up, the weather with _____.”

I like George Carlin’s take on it. The earth is 4 billion years old and humans have been on it for 100,000 maybe 200,000 years ....the planet could shrug us off like fleas.

No doubt. The news people must live their lives in a climate-controlled bubble. When the temps are in the 70s, which is ideal for me, they complain that it’s not 85. If it rains for 2 days in a row, they’re complaining about the “bad weather”.

We generally get less than 1/2 inch of rain from July to November. Then they’re lamenting about the relentless drought. They like being miserable about the weather, which is like complaining that water is wet and the ocean is big.

When I lived in Virginia from 1990-1994, the summers were murderously hot. That 100F with 100% humidity was hard on me, coming from Wyoming where the summer highs were mid-80s with 15% humidity. When I glance at the weather charts these days for that area, I’m not seeing that kind of heat. I wish it were mid-80s in July when I was there.

We hardly had a spring at all here in PA. Aside from that weird heat wave in April, it’s been kinda chilly right along. Most mornings it’s cold enough for sweaters. Never saw anything like this. Older folks tell me the same, and they’ve been around twice as long. Rain almost every day, and overcast skies.

All I know is that I haven’t been able to enjoy the pool yet for more than a few minutes. Still too cold. And cold rain keeps falling in it instead of the hot sun warming it.

My wife sent me pictures of Pocatello/Chubbuck Idaho after the big thunderstorm yesterday. Lots of flooding. So much hail on the roads, roofs and lawns that it looked more like winter than summer. The thunderstorms have persisted since early April. It is much cooler than usual and much wetter. That's fine for my lawn, but really bad for the food crops. Too much water is bad. It rots the plants. Insufficient heat prevents proper development of the "food" attributes that should be growing in the fields. Global cooling is going to bring us famines. The stupid socialist politicians are destroying the very energy infrastructure that we need to survive an ice age. All in the name of putting us under the thumb of socialist scarcity. Dumbasses.

The average, global, temp has dropped almost a degree since Al Gore’s Movie, Inconvenient Truth opened.

Here in NYC I have noticed it has been an unusually mild June. For the first time ever I have not had to use my air conditioners in June-much to the sorrow of the pirates that run Con Edison. My electric bill usually triples between June-Sept because of my air conditioners so I’m hoping for a break this year.

I remember the summer of ‘92 being inexpensive as well. Back then “global change” had not gained a foothold and people probably would have laughed at Al Gore.
