Global Warming MY A$$...

This weekend started with cold on Friday afternoon of -15C (5F) then just got progressively colder...by Sunday morning -27C (-16.6F)...thankfully I plugged my truck in last night...got up this morning to a quite "Brisk" -37C (-34.6F)...gotta luv Canadian winters...but hey, it's supposed to warm up by Wednesday for a high of 2C (35.6F)?? WTF??

Anyway, done whining...but my truck was kinda pissed at me this morning...

Later.

Yeah it seems kind of backwards doesn't it. A few degree change (you only have to get to a hair over 0C/32F for melting to start...so a mild change over a period of time can make a difference..) can cause lots of Polar ice melt...Seas that are normally frozen act as lids to the ocean water (which is warmer that the air above it)...Changes the wind patterns and places get different weather than before. Seems fairly logical to me... My 2 cents....

That's pretty damn cold tho....wow -37 degrees... Stay warm man.

In the past winters the snow would always melt here before the next snowfall. This is the first winter where I live that the snow never melts completely before another snow storm hits.

It should have been termed "Global Climate Change". The scientists really screwed up by naming it Global Warming.

Maybe "Global Extreme Weather"...or "Friggin' Retarded"...

Later.

Why not just call it Al Gore weather? I mean after all isn't he the supposed "father of global warming"?

XealotX · January 31, 2011, 07:54:14 PM

It's the height of hubris for people to pretend that we truly understand how the weather works on a planetary scale.

I predict that sometime over the next few days the sun will shine.

XealotX · January 31, 2011, 08:01:16 PM

I predict there is only a 70% chance the sun will shine in the next few days.

jserio · January 31, 2011, 08:02:53 PM

I predict that there is a 50% chance that your prediction is correct.

XealotX · January 31, 2011, 08:05:50 PM

I predict there is a 51% chance that I'm correct...then again, I'm an optimist.

jserio · January 31, 2011, 08:07:26 PM

I predict there is a 70% chance that your prediction of my prediction of your prediction is correct.

madjak30 · January 31, 2011, 08:24:44 PM

I predict there is an 83% chance that this will end up in "Tard Farm" if we keep this up...

Later.

XealotX · January 31, 2011, 08:27:21 PM

Nope, this will be buried and forgotten in a day or two...or at least until jserio resurrects it from the grave in January 2016...

I predict 98% that Jserio will Resurrect this post before 2016.

jserio · January 31, 2011, 09:42:24 PM

Well, how long does a thread have to be "idle" in order for it to be "dead"? It's my understanding something has to die before you can ressurrect it.
