Steve, I don't know why the climate is changing due to global warming, it's just a fact that it is.

If you want to believe it's just mother nature hitting the delete button every 10,000 years, that's your right.

If you want to refuse to believe indisputable science showing that elevated greenhouse gases over the past 60 years have markedly impacted the temperature of the atmosphere, and that we can actually at least try to do something about it then hey, go for it.

Just don't deny that it's occurring. That's plain silly.

What does becomes tiresome is the dropping IQ levels of the people that dismiss that, and thus regurgitate Rush Limbaugh and bombard message boards with snide, asinine global warming jokes (because it's cold, don't ya see? hur hur hur)....it seems commensurate with the rise in sea levels.

I'm praying for warming. Too many islands to begin with.

D.C. federal government offices closed two "business" days in a row.

Count your blessings.

Exactly, now 10 inches of snow is a major news event requiring 24x7 coverage.

Just went and confirmed this is a colder than normal winter in Southern WI. December high/low averages are 33/19; this year 29/11.6. January so far with an average of 28/13 is coming in at 20.7/6.1.

I was curious whether Anchorage is experiencing a warmer than normal winter and found that with a December average of 25/14 they came in at 19.5/9.7.


Oh and if you want to figure your hometown average here's a source I used...
