Two hundred years of glacial shrinkage in Alaska, and then came the winter and summer of 2007-2008. Unusually large amounts of winter snow were followed by unusually chill temperatures in June, July and August.

Palin’s Fault!

Palin’s fault?

[Rhetorical pi2]

See!!

This has all happened and Lord Osama hasn’t even been
inaugurated yet!!

Save articles like this, so that the Democrats can’t take credit for reversing global warming a few years from now.

[Uncle Miltie]

Shrinking for TWO CENTURIES?

Were the Founding Fathers driving Escalades?

[RightWhale]

Summers of 2007 and 2008 were not. Winters of 2006-7 and 2007-8 definitely were. We have been 15 below average for a month now. But, a sunspot has appeared!

From my understanding, the sun is going through a dormant stage for the next ten years or so. We may have a mini ice age, all due to global warming I'm sure!

This Obama guy is amazing. He is already fixing things. /sarc.

What was making the glaciers shrink 200 years ago? What made them get bigger this year?

Here’s all I can think of: For 200 years no black man was ever nominated to run for President. Then THIS year....

My computer model proves that white guys running for President cause Global Warming and I’m declaring consensus on the issue.

Geeze and now I suppose that Glove You Warmly crowd will now shift gears and start preaching Global cooling AGAIN!.

After all they gots ta keep the $$$$$ flowing.

[Moconservative]

Somehow the Global Warming Crowd will spin it their way.

Here’s the quote I see. “Our efforts are paying off already. If we hadn’t brought this to everyones attention we wouldn’t of had this success”

[Hokie Bird]

Do you think they know about shrinkage?

Remember, our forefathers did use a lot of horsepower in their travels. I know, that was pathetic. :)

[cookcounty]

Wow. The first year after her governorship began, and global warming is reversed!!!!

I thought only Messiah Barack could do that!!!!

I'm sure the MSM meant to report this far and wide.
But a historic presidential election got in the way.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

[Arrowhead1952]

Yeah I know. We've already had two frost on the roofs in central Texas, which usually don't come before Thanksgiving week.

Algore, would you plleeeaaseeeee
