Well starting last Sunday the "global warming" started falling here turning everything white; this "global warming has been comming down intermitantly for days. It's so warm I think I might freeze to death.

Monday morning the "Global warming" was so bad that I was put on a delay going into work until noon (my usual start time is 06:30) and we were sent home early because of ice on the roads. Thursday I was put on a two hour delay and we were sent home at 12:30 (our usual end time is 17:00 or 5:00pm).

Yesterday I had to drive to a town 30 minutes away at freeway speed for a dental appointment (normal cleaning) and to get groceries as Thursday was payday; let me tell you the roads were covered in "global warming" about six inches deep with hard pack and ice underneath the white stuff.

Today it was sunny and clear and now the "global warming" is falling again.

This morning I took the boy out to wrestle in this so called global warming and put some of it on his back and he started to cry due to the application of global warming on his back.

So in conclusion I say "Hogwash" to this global warming as I have a good six inches accumulated in my front yard.:eek:

Yup, we are getting it pretty hard here in Aberdeen (WA). It's a snow falling hard, sideways and whirrling all-over the place type of blizzard, and Winter ain't supposed to start 'till tomorrow. It's so darn dark & snowy that I can hardly see to the end of my block.:eek:.
 
It made it to NY yesterday,we ended up with about a foot of it and they're saying another,6 or 8in between now and Monday midday.:mad:
 
The use of the phrase "global warming" was unfortunate.

Properly, the phrase "global climate change" should have been used. That way, when areas start (and have) getting short of water that previously had bountiful supplies of water, people might have been able to see the issue at hand.
 
got about 2.5 feet of that stuff on the ground at my folks house, and its supposed to snow today through tomorrow. should be an interesting drive up
 
Like some brilliant poster (me) said in another thread, if the earth continues to warm at its present rate, we are all going to freeze to death.
 
What you are talking about is weather, which is short term, as opposed to climate change, which is long term. Viewed over a period of decades, the average climate is heating up regardless of what happens in any given year or even several years of time.
 
Yes Global Warming has affected us here in Oklahoma also. It was a blistering 7 degrees above zero the other morning when I got up. I started to go out to fry some eggs on the hood of the car but decided I didn't really need eggs and ate Cheerios instead.:rolleyes: Its a serious issue you know this global warming trend. Even Obama has gotten on board with this world wide man made crisis.

Its supposed to improve here but I can't say there is any end in sight just yet.

Throughout the span of it's life thus far, the Earth has followed a pattern in regards to ice ages.....apparently we're supposed to be in the middle of one now if all went as it should. Good thing it hasn't......as much as I'd enjoy a wooly mammoth steak I enjoy hot girls in bikini's more!! Don't freeze your balls off boys! I'm going surfing.

Actually.... As I understand it, we're coming out of an ice age (we just turned the corner towards a warm cycle).
 
It's a balmy 35 degrees here in sunny Aridzona. That's the warmest it's been all week at this time of day. :rolleyes:
 
3.5 feet.. in 1 week.. weatherman said we have had a total accumulation this year of 5 feet of snow. do not want.
 
If you did not see it yet:

http://www.petitionproject.org/

"Purpose of Petition

The purpose of the Petition Project is to demonstrate that the claim of “settled science” and an overwhelming “consensus” in favor of the hypothesis of human-caused global warming and consequent climatological damage is wrong. No such consensus or settled science exists. As indicated by the petition text and signatory list, a very large number of American scientists reject this hypothesis.

Publicists at the United Nations, Mr. Al Gore, and their supporters frequently claim that only a few “skeptics” remain – skeptics who are still unconvinced about the existence of a catastrophic human-caused global warming emergency.

It is evident that 31,072 Americans with university degrees in science – including 9,021 PhDs, are not "a few." Moreover, from the clear and strong petition statement that they have signed, it is evident that these 31,072 American scientists are not “skeptics.”

These scientists are instead convinced that the human-caused global warming hypothesis is without scientific validity and that government action on the basis of this hypothesis would unnecessarily and counterproductively damage both human prosperity and the natural environment of the Earth."


Thanks, Vassili.
 
We have discussed the "petition" mentioned above over at the James Randi forum; it is without merit.
If one pays attention to the actual scientists working in the various associated fields of climatology, Earth science, meteorology, oceanography, etc, etc, etc; you'll find that there is an overwhelming consensus as to the ongoing (and rapidly becoming irreversible) human-caused global warming phenomenon.

Science Friday is a well-respected radio program that's on for two hours each Friday. They have hosted 3-4 round table discussions with scientists in the above fields over the last several years. In each case, agreement was unanimous.
The opinion of the "dissenting" scientists was also unanimous; "in the pay of energy companies."

Although some may prefer to see all this as some sort of liberal plot to divest everyone of their SUVs, the fact is that the conversion to a multi-disciplined approach to non-polluting energy would be a net gain for the economy.
Not only is there a planet to clean up, there is money to be made doing it.
Of course, the money would not be going to the fossil-fuel industries, and the fact that so much of our (and other countries') political structure is so heavily indebted to those industries should not be ignored.....
 
My uncles friend went hunting for brown bear in Canada, the GW was so bad the bears had to hibernate early because of it being so hot out.
