Jetskiers, Yankees, Global Warmists likely hardest hit:
According to Long Range Expert Joe Bastardi, areas from the northern Plains into the Northeast will have a “year without a summer.†The jet stream, which is suppressed abnormally south this spring, is also suppressing the number of thunderstorms that can form.
Drag.
Joseph explains solar activity cycles to Pharaoh.
This is clearly Bush’s fault. I blame him.
And, Kyoto.
Ooh. And with The Open at Turnberry this year, we will see all manner of sweater and Tam O’ Shanter. Brrrr.
Suck it Gore. (Al that is, not Jason)
“The current unseasonable cold across northwest Europe is not the only place where the arctic hound is calling as yet another blast of reality gets lobbed into the base camp of agenda driven warmingistas, who of course refuse to see anything that could possibly challenge their false idols. I will not say that the cold that has been occurring is a sign an ice age it is on the way, but it is a sign that people worldwide had better wake up to the idea that the “science is in†crowd does not want them to see facts.”
Oh man, that is money, as we used to say in the hood…
Of course, I picked a great decade to move; I should have stayed in DC, no shortage of hot air there…
Oh well, I still have my H3, from before the chicoms acquired them…I wonder if Justice Ginsberg will set a precedent that will somehow nullify that deal..?
There is a man bear pig in the woods…and he is wondering why he still needs a sweater in June.
Al Gore: “See? Our efforts have not been in vain. Were it not for me, we’d all be burning to death this summer. Or the manbearpig would have eaten us. I’m not exactly clear on that point.”
Say what you will, the chill of facts take a long time to reach the alleged brains of liberal political adherents. A distant in-law relative, when confronted by the fact that British courts had declared “An Inconvenient Truth” to be error-ridden, and so not worthy of un-rebutted presentation in British classrooms, he asked, “And wasn’t that suit brought by some conservative outfit?”
Facts, schmacts…what is your purpose?
They are so used to being lied to that they can’t accept that some facts are simply facts, no matter whose narrative they serve. Scientific method? Oh, that’s just something the eggheads came up with to make them look smart. Doesn’t really mean anything.
Just one more reason why any program titled “{X} Studies” or “{X} Science” should be de-emphasized in our educational systems.
That is an ad hominem argument, and it is particularly pernicious in its assumption that “conservative outfits” have evil agendas that, but “progressive outfits” are but the humble servants of Science, and therefore everything they do is completely without any taint.
(In typing that, I realize that one way to be without a taint is to have a cloaca.)

um… “evil agendas that render suspect anything they do, including running the trains on time”.
Well, that jet stream musta moved awfully quick, ’cause we had one MAMMOTH thunderstorm this morning in Philly.

Here is another strategy for dealing with years without summer!
Here in central California we have had many unseasonal thunder storms.
Thanks NE! I’m digging it…
The weather here has been sucky for days, quite unusual. But I’m right in that “cold belt” on those maps. Wonderful. I wish I had gone out more last month, it was sunny then.
Fitting picture…I think.
I assume it’s of Joseph weaseling his way out of prison old school style by telling the pharaoh that his dreams forecast a famine he can leverage to greater power by hoarding food to sell when it hits. The pharaoh, liking the sound of that (facepalm aside), is about to hook Joe up with that hoarding-and-leveraging job (and bitches). When the famine comes, Joe will get his douche on, throwing huge “I won” feasts and handing out petty vengeance.
If he were around today, he’d be angling for Climate Czar.
The world is old.
summer is increasingly arbitrary I think
Everybody is totally stoked on me. I can tell.
Where do you want me to go next Lord Gorecle?
What’s for dinner? Gorecle will provide.
Why do you wingnuts persist in speaking of warming? It’s now CLIMATE CHANGE! What’s so hard about understanding that if it gets warmer polar bears will die, if it gets colder parrots will die and if it stays the same then lots of horrible shit will happen?
When the blue snaildarter is wiped off the planet, where will the mollusks go to get their darter on? Nowhere, that’s where.
Didn’t Obama promise to end global warming? Success!
Yes, I’m joking.
I agree all this CLIMATE CHANGE caused the extinction of the SABER TOOTHED CAT.
I miss him. Here kitty kitty kitty…
I wish my last name was Bastardi too. Joe Bastardi has a future in politics!
I want a friggin Mammoth to ride to church on Sunday and shit all over my neighbor’s lawn (the one with the Obama sign).
Don’t forget this cuddly guy. Ahhh the good old days!
it has been an unusually cool, and wet, spring here in NYC suburbs of Ct.
I feel definitely qualified to pronounce on this as both a distance runner as well as parent of several kids who play sports, requiring me to spend time on sidelines aplenty. its been colder than normal out.
So the wife and I think Gore is now even a bigger douche.
that said, we had a window rocking thunderstorm in the mid-morning today, which proves….nothing.
The weather’s been weird here in Utah, too.
Normally, we do spring as a wet and cool-ish thing, last frost is May 15th, then shortly thereafter, the temps rocket into the 80s and never drop back down until September.
Then in July sometime, we get the monsoons. (A monsoon is NOT a heavy seasonal rain but rather a dominant wind pattern that reverses 180° during the year; during most of the year, we get our weather from the Gulf of Alaska, then mid-to-late summer it switches around and we get it from the Gulf of California.)
But this year we went from regular spring weather patterns directly into the monsoon season, then with that unusually cold jet stream, the monsoonal moisture translates into thunderstorms every day, all day, instead of only during the late afternoons.
We’ve been having days that don’t break 70° much less 80°. I hardly need to water my flower beds or my lawn. And the forecast has this pattern going on indefinitely.
I knew you wanted to know the details. You’re welcome.
I just heard an IBM commercial in which they state we should “build a better planet”.
I will never ever ever buy an IBM product as long as I breathe.
I’m all in favor of building a better planet.
Step 1: Pave that sucker.
PCachu, everything on the planet is already here. We cannot build the planet better. The notion that we can is beyond moronic. The oil that we drill for, or rather the oil that Muslims and Hugo Chavez drills for, is completely natural 100% natural. Trees are natural 100%. Concrete. Natural. Pavement. Natural. Cow farts. Natural. Liberal thinking. Very very very un-natural. Killing your own baby. Nuts.
“Pharaoh”? All the pharaohs put together didn’t have that much hair. Joseph must be giving his lecture to Jerry Garcia.
“Joe Bastardi.”
Sounds like the Jerky Boys, but Ok.
I’ll jump on board. It’s north Texas and friggin’ 86 degrees in June (which, this time of year, normally only gets 8 degrees cooler than Hell 3 hours after the sun goes down).
Fuck Al Gore, this global whatthehelleveritis ROCKS!!!
not “build a better Nation”? that’s ok ge wants my medical info and teleprompter jesus will give it to them.
If we want to build a better planet, I would suggest synthetic turf ;-)
pennsylvania rr ww 2 Serving The Nation
I like to think I am helping build a better planet, one football/soccer/lacrosse/field hockey/baseball field at a time.
“I like to think I am helping build a better planet.”
Except for those little black pellets what get in my shoes and somehow linger in my bathroom for months.
next time it rains on my golf outing my hand will be clenched and my arm waving wildly at the sky screaming “BASTARDI”
How far south does your territory run, JD?
“If we want to build a better planet, I would suggest synthetic turf ;-)”
Have you read the research on that stuff? If I try to cut hard left or hard right at while trying to shake the Tax Man at full tilt, 60% chance I tear my ACL.
Then what…Obamacare!?
Fuck that, man.
I haven’t seen any honeybees. None. Nada. Usually my cactus is full of ’em by now; this year, only the carpenter bees showed up.
Worrisome.
if i find 2 sparrows in my house that’s being rehab does that matter?
“I haven’t seen any honeybees.”
And I haven’t heard anything about killer bees on TXN (TX Cable News).
I love this Al Gore guy! We should buy him a carbon chomping GulfStream-5 and a 12,000 sqft, air conditioned mansion that keeps the lights on and pool heated ALL THE TIME.
Wait...
#44 – a possibility, I really don’t know fer sure.

B Moe – Kentucky and Tennessee, but I have a lot of freedom to roam outside of the borders, if I generate the lead.
Lamont – That may have been true with the old-style astroturf, but no longer.
“Lamont – That may have been true with the old-style astroturf, but no longer.”
I shall look forward to jukeing Obama’s IRS on the new global synthetic turf.
As long as the new turf is not government funded.
In which case, I’m just gonna buy a Steve Austin/ Six Million Dollar Man Jet Pack and be done with it.
I know a guy who knows a guy and whatnot.
Lamont – some of our competitors may love sucking at the government tit, but our company is allergic to that.
FWIW, and I apologize in advance if it is inappropriate to ask, but salesmen have no shame … If you know of any synthetic turf projects in your areas, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Dash – Sorry about the little black rubber thingies. We could paint them another color if you prefer, at a price.
“Lamont – some of our competitors may love sucking at the government tit, but our company is allergic to that.”
You sneaky devil, you sell the stuff.
Salesman after my own heart.
Would it look good on my lawn? I got 3 dead spots all the landscapers in TX can’t figure out? It’s like fucking demons were banished there and the ground is salted.
Fricking cold here in Michigan. I thought I could pull out the shorts once the calender turned over to June, but noooooooooooooooooooo.
Of course, the 16 inches of snow on the Upper Peninsula during the last week of April should have clued me in.
Lamont – I could do your whole lawn for a song. Just say the word ….

You and Bill Clinton.
That was not nice, N.O’Brain ;-)
I haven’t seen any honeybees. None. Nada.
I have been seeing a few at my place, after not seeing any for a few years. So, there’s that.
Carpenter bees … The bane of my existence. Any ideas?
Try Argentine ants, JD. The exterminator has been here twice in the last 2 months, and they’re still getting in the house.
dicentra,
Same here, except three years ago there were lots of them. There was a reason for that: as it turned out, a guy on the next block had Africanized “killer” bees take up residence in his attic.
By the way, it broke 70° yesterday here (SoCal high desert) for the first time in two weeks.
Spiny – let me be clear. You are suggesting that I introduce another bug to my abode?
Demand a guaranteed estimate and tell them they can only take a half hour for lunch.
Heavens no, I was being sarcastic.
Are you sure this isn’t a picture of a conservative explaining sunspot activity to Obama?
Carpenter bees are not your friend. In fact, they do not do much carpentry. They should be called bees what eat tunnels into your wood leaving little piles of sawdust and are quite difficult to exterminate.
http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-carpenter-bees.htm
Kill the queen and the union steward first.
They aren’t social bees I think, more like solitary tunnel diggers what don’t do all that much damage in the big picture, unlike carpenter ants or termites. I lived in a house for 12 yrs in Va. that had carpenter bees boring into an exposed wood roof deck (2×6 cypress t & g). It happened that we disassembled part of that roof in a re-modeling project and truly, the galleries were a non-issue so far as strength and soundness went. What’s more the males don’t have stingers and the females aren’t very much inclined to sting even when you’re messing with them (we used to capture them when we were young and dissect them and what not). So all in all, I wonder how come they are such a nuisance JD?
AAAAAAH! John Ringo was right!
Thanks for the info, guys.
Sdferr – Half of the exterior of my home is cedar shake. This morning I found 7 new holes, which is a fairly typical evening for these vile little things.
Ah, now that’s a damn good reason right there.
Had a few problems like that, JD. Nothing worked until I decided to bite the bullet and replace it all with stone and fiber cement siding.
Sdferr – 2 springs ago, I went through 4 tubes caulk trapping them and was free of them last summer. No more. But I will prevail over them. Better Half said”You aren’t going to go all Caddyshack again, are you?
I used to plug the holes in the ceiling (under the roof of the carport) with all manner of gunk, caulk, wood filler, putty, you name it, they just came back and ate their way through it, or hatched out and ate their way from the inside out. Nothing like that worked to stop them coming back year after year. Of course, the whole neighborhood, maybe 200 houses had more or less the same design, so there were plenty of ceilings to choose from.
This house JD, right there over the car. (It is beyond weird to me that I could look a couple of minutes on the internet and find a picture of the very house posted by god knows who.)
Isn’t this why God invented pressure treating?
