I figured out BushCo's strategy to counter souring oil/heating prices...

Global Warming...



While I don't mind it being almost 50 degrees on Feb 1, here in Chicago, 42 consecutive days above normal is kind of concerning.

1. Hell, we've only had about a week of winter this year. Fine by

me by I don't think that the plants and the animals are doing well. I saw geese flying overhead, four v-formations, last Friday.

3. I wonder what the summer will be like?

[acmavm]

4. So do I. n/t

5. I have a feeling its gonna suck

2. and it makes it easier to drill for oil in the arctic without all that ice

6. I live out in the wilds of Mid Missouri, and I'm really worried

We've had only one week of single digit weather this year, way back at the first of December. If we don't get at least a week, preferably two, of sub zero weather, the bugs this year will be absolutely horrible. And this doesn't well for the summer months, another dry scorcher, just what we don't need.

7. The mountains in VA have been warm

A few of my bulbs have popped out, poor things are so confused, and I'm just hoping the trees don't begin to bud. It was 55 today, the past several weeks have shown temperatures up to 63. Totally uncanny for my neck of the woods. We usually have had several snows by this time and the two we did have were weak. The winds though have been incredible. For two days we were experiencing 50-60 mph winds. That's not much fun if you have a tin roof. I read an article the other day stating a place called Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina registered 200 mph winds. Totally freaky.

9. Why else are they ignoring it?

10. The warm winter

is due to the jet stream flow

warm in midwest= wet and soggy west of rockies

the jet stream is off it's arctic course due to la nina'

[magellan]

13. Damn! La Nina means another bad hurricane season this year.

Not happy. :(

11. It will just come back to bite us when it's 110 in Chicago in May

and we will all need air conditioner and an ozone report to tell us what days we can go outside and for how long on that day. ::::sigh::::

[FreedomAngel82]

12. I don't want to think about that!
