It’s gotten to the point where I have to fling the global warming backward over my head, because it’s piled up too high to make flinging it forward practical. I’m a one-man global-warmingpult!
Gonna get to a balmy 15 here today. Two days ago our high was 1. (I’m not complaining though, we weren’t supposed to break out of subzero). We got above freezing end of last week for the first time since early December.
Even for the tall grass prairies of the upper midwest, it’s been a cold winter.
That English dude who predicted the cold winter makes money selling his weather predictions. So far he has been alarmingly correct. If our activity really had an effect on the climate I would suggest we start creating a lot more C02, but I know it won’t matter. We’re headed for a big freeze.
Is it just me and my titanium head … or … does listening to guys like Dr. Mark Serreze and others pontificate upon the process of heating causing cooling … doesn’t that sound like a big plan for a Rube Goldberg contraption to be built for a movie?
Let’s see … first the teapot is heated to boiling and falls over, pouring hot water on ice …
If heating caused cooling I think you would have perpetual motion in reverse. In fact, if that were the case then the entire universe would be at 0 degrees K.
If by “you guys” you mean me, then yes, I know all about how refrigerators work. However, they require isolation of environments to function. One transfers the heat out of one environment into another environment, and there is a net increase in overall heat involved in the process because the transfer of heat from a cooler environment to a warmer one is not natural.
In this case it would be correct to say that cooling caused heating. It is not correct to say the reverse.
This cold winter is no doubt due to the outlawing of incandescent light bulbs and electric cars. To save us from the coming ice age we need to bring back those light bulbs, and huge SUVs along with buck a gallon gas.
Please, please, PLEASE!
Somebody explain to me what kind of weather we would have to have to DISPROVE AGW?
When it’s colder than normal (whatever “normal” means), that’s AGW.
When it’s hotter than normal, that’s AGW.
When it snows more than normal, that’s AGW.
When it snows less than normal, that’s AGW.
When we get a Katrina-type hurricane, that’s AGW.
When we don’t get any more Katrina-style hurricanes, that’s AGW.
When it rains more than normal, that’s AGW.
When we have more droughts than normal, that’s AGW too!
So, is there ANY weather pattern that actually disproves AGW?
Anybody?
Bueller?
Well the last two nights were “fucking cold” on the Cranky-d scale while the days have been merely “damn cold”. Regular “cold” predicted for tomorrow. Yay!
Obama has just appointed Bill Clinton to be point man on selling the public on the green energy goodness. If that’s anything like his work on Haiti, he’ll make a show of it for a couple of weeks with a PSA and then fade into some woman’s crotch.
Obama will assume he’s talking to the rubes, but he’s really talking to the pubes.
So Pouncy is out for the SB and a bunch of people have fallen off of Cowboys stadium or something because of the ice with one critically injured. An additional 4 inches is just what Jerry Jones needed.
Is Jimmy Johnson is having the last laugh? He markets the inches but it looks like he slipped JJ a sugar-snow pill instead.
the reason for the storms is that the air is warmer and holding more water.
I might be tempted to invest with that particular exiled Nigerian potentate if the record snowfalls were coming down in North Dakota, say, instead of record ice storms in the South.
The weather is warming here, low 30’s, and the sun is causing the surface of the inches of ice to melt, which will freeze again overnight and become ever slickerer. I did see some concrete on the roadway today. Cannot pull into garage without precise aim as I have to be going about 20 mph when I hit the end of the driveway to slide up it, and slide straight into the garage, without hitting the house. Neat trick.
I would have thought that a wealthy running-dog capitalist exploiter such as yourself would have had a bevy of poorly paid (under the table, naturally) devoted immigrant laborers to haul your luxury SUV up the driveway for you JD.
I tried a sledge and a pick axe, with mild success. It is a fun challenge. There is a bobcat driving around the neighborhood offering to clear driveways. Mine is now on the list.
10 degrees here in michigan. That would be below the average.
You just gotta love Michael Ramirez on this.
Ok, this is So Cal, so understand that 27 degrees (right now) is pretty darned cold.
I am not sure which is more insidious, the pseudo science of global climate change or the superstitions back in classical or medeval times.
Okay they are not burning witches now…but if Sarah Palin sees a lefty crowd with a pile of sticks, she better run not walk.
I slipped and hurt my arm today on global warming! It’s time to stoke the damned fire and get to releasing some more carbon into the atmosphere.
I have 5 feet of global warming stacked on my deck, for lack of anywhere to dispose of it all! But, you know, at least it’s right around 32 today…
We’re havin’ a heat wave!

Don’t forget your mittens!
You mean there’s a reason the geologists call it an interglacial? Holy Shit!

Um, you guys do know how a refrigerator works, right? Ever hear an RVer complain that his beer is warm ‘cuz he ran outta propane?

Climatechange! pvrwc. It’s called climatechange now.
Keep up! Lest we begin to question your devotion to Big Brother.
You do love Big Brother, don’t you?

That would be any weather pattern that occurs after the theftist proglodytes decide Global Cooling is where it’s at.
It’s actually not too bad here right now. I just checked, and it’s 29 degrees. No wonder I didn’t feel cold.
The downside is, when it’s this warm snow is much more likely. The accumulation we have now is already a bit much.
7 degrees this morning.

Messaging fail. Again.
Weather channel has been doubling down on AGW. Telling us that the reason for the storms is that the air is warmer and holding more water.
Except it’s a La Nina, so it ain’t.

Hope those folks are OK, though.

Sand is for little people, not plutocrats.
I was picturing the king’s minions strewing it by hand in his pathway as he drove everywhere.
I tried a sledge and a pick axe, with mild success. It is a fun challenge. There is a bobcat driving around the neighborhood offering to clear driveways. Mine is now on the list.
You make me happy to have 12 inches of snow instead.
