Is it Global Warming?

With the unseasonably warm temps in Wisconsin the past few days, it's been interesting to note the absence of global warming jabs from local conservatives. They must be visiting their groundhog brethren deep underground.

    Because we haven't broken any records yet and March is the start of meteorological spring. Sure glad we're out of the record cold and snow across the entire northern hemisphere winter we just had.

    But that's the point, Terry. Climate change and seasonal weather patterns are related only in long-term effect. Every time a cold snap hits, some joker on the right waxes illiterate about this being another example of the lies of global warming. It really makes conservatives look foolish.

    btw: Where is your picture taken from? It looks like at the side of a pool. Oh the horrors of global warming. :)

    Well, 53 degrees in the desert in Vegas today with snow in the mountains.
    Of course, it will be 73 this weekend.

    "Every time a cold snap hits, some joker on the right waxes illiterate about this being another example of the lies of global warming."

    Works both ways Timothy. Until there is proof that increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 are increasing global temps. I stand firmly on the side of common sense.

    TerryN on the side of common sense. That would be a first.

    BTW, I took the pic of my avatar in the town of Neuleiningen, GDR. Beautiful place near Mannheim.

    Family ties...

    Common sense tells anybody that if the proponents of AGW decide to rename their cause "climate change" they don't know WTF they're talking about.

    Show me peer reviewed scientific proof of AGW and I concede.

    If we were to rely on common sense, then common sense would dictate that warnings of mankind's impact on this [only] home of ours were not so blithely tossed aside. Partisan politics should play no role in this.

    I visited and hitch-hiked in Germany and Switzerland back in 1983. I saw the Swiss Alps ... incredibly beautiful. Especially Die Jungfrau. Also partied with some U.S. military one night in Stuttgart. It was a blast.
