Just saw the news and it is -13 in Boston. Algore says we need action on global warming. I think his timing is a little off.

 

If it weren't for global warming, we'd still be living in the ice age.

 

Hmmmmn.........you are very close to me.

 

Well,as far as global warming goes I think it is measured like 1-2 degrees over a period of 100 yrs. so i guess it won't help you out much in the near furture.lol.It's been -20to-30 here for a few days with wind chill factors of -40 to -50 so I'm wondering the same thing.brrrrrr.

 

It's still coming............burrrrr

 

Anyone remember when it wasn't global warming we had to worry about? The pollution we were producing was going to block out the sun and cause the next ice age. How long before the enviro-terror-wacko-idiots go back to that chicken-little cry?

 

Global warming is real, the degree to witch it is happing is a hotly debated issue.
Rest assured it is real. Will it harm as much as some believe, another debatable issue.

 

The Weather Channel ran some statistics last night about the number of times Boston has been as cold as it is in the last century. Since 1950 it's happend only two or three times, but from 1900 to 1950 it happened 29 or so. I believe they said the numbers were similarly high (about once every couple of years) for the 19th century, as well.

Can you imagine not only having that kind of weather every couple of years, but having it before synthetic insulation and man-made, weatherproof garments? And how in the heck did <i>any</i> of the pilgrims survive their first east coast winter at all? In any era, I think I would've keeled over and turned into a soksicle.

 

IIRC nearly all of the world's glaciers are presently receding so global warming could indeed be real. It should be remembered that one of the features of global warming is the destabilization of existing weather patterns including the position of the jet stream. The recent cold snap in the northeast could be indicative of the reality of global warming and not evidence against.

 

I saw on the news yesterday that the frigid air we now currently have over the norteast (The Alberta Clipper?) was actually over Russia a week a go! Seems the shift in the jetstream pulled hard over the Arctic Circle and came this way.
Seemed interesting a t the time, now I,m just freezing my **** off!

reever

 

high of 65 today

 

So...How do you all like this "Alberta Clipper" I sent your way ?

 

Global Warming is merely a way for "scientists" to get our tax money from the government.

 

Well'If they could warm my part of the globe I'd certainally chip in

 

Global warming is most likely happening. But the reason for it is debatable. I think its just nature, not us. And Al Gore's timing was just a little off.
