Last week I was sure global warming was a myth.
You see I live in the deep south and it was so cold my Huskey wouldn't go outside. One week later and I'm positive global warming is a fact because I'm about to turn the air conditioner on it is so freakin hot. Cheer up everyone if the temperature here is any indication spring has arrived.

1. I think we are headed for another ice age myself.
Seriously. The whole damn world is freezing. Snow where snow doesn't usually fall.

Oh I know. Severe cold is just MORE PROOF of global warming. LOL!

4. While the post is factually correct, I am completely kidding about any scientific interpretation.

11. There's major concern about at least one of the ski venues,
because of minimal snow and warm temperatures in that particular area. I guess they did stockpile snow from other spots, but there's still the issue of keeping it cold!

10. Newsflash...the extremes going on all over are BECAUSE of global climate change aka global warming.
Edited on Thu Jan-21-10 09:39 PM by blm
Extreme cold and extreme heat. Extreme rainfall and extreme drought. Heavier snowfalls and melting glaciers.

15. The facts are true. It was cold, my huskey stayed inside the whole time.
Now it's hot. The postulations about the scientific interpretation were a joke. I know how to get the smell of piss out of anything. We have fostered over 200 dogs in this home of ours.
