We had 65" of snow and about 7" of rain this winter that is not ever yet. Last week it was 18 degrees in the morning. Normal is 35. Today was 39, clouds, wind, adn drizzle transitioning to freezing drizzle.

How did you get so lucky.

Heck.....I burned 4 cords of wood this winter.

You left out one choice in the title.
It's not Global ANYTHING. No change at all.

...he (Al) brags about purchasing credits from to balance out his gluttonous use of energy at his numerous homes and garages full of SUV's? (Not to mention private jet travel to promote his Religion of Environmentalism around the world....what a hypocritical pup HE is!

Gee, that's kinda like taking money from one pocket and putting it into the other pocket, isn't it?

There isn't any politician that rides Amtrak or Greyhound.

They all get to travel 1st class, private, etc., at our expense.

Heard on the radio today that January was the coldest this year world-wide in a century. When is every one going to wake-up and stop wasting our tax and personal dollars on something that is a natural phenonomen. Yes we have to cut pollution etc. but do it sensibly and force countries like China to quit spewing their garbage into the atmosphere.

I am of the mind we are going through a natural occurance. It is not anything "new" except there are more of "us" to be affected.

If Al Gore and David Suzuki were really serious they would be in China and Russia doing everything they can to get them to cut emissions.

But the money they live off of comes from North Americans.

It all has to do with money and the consumer is the pawn.
