The next person to complain about global warming . . .

10 below is dangerous cold? Your nose hairs take a few seconds to freeze at that temperature, and you don't need gloves to avoid contact frostbite when opening your car door.

Try living in the Alaskan interior...

At -20, you get instant nose hair freeze and instant contact frostbite from metal door handles. -40 provides even more entertainment. -40 F = -40 C, so that's cool. And at that temperature you can throw a pot of boiling hot water in the air and watch it sublimate into vapor while it makes a cool "whoosh" sound. At -60, your fully inflated tires develop flat spots after being parked for 4 hours or more, and it hurts to breathe!

You can't handle a little -10 degree weather for a day? Weak.

So should I bring up that I haven't even put the top on my jeep this whole year? Granted, I did put the doors back on about six weeks ago...

You know- this really isn't adding to the conversation.
Go ahead rub it in!

Why don't you do something constructive like shovel the snow off my roof so my walls will dry.

It's only been cold here by local standards, but January was a freaky month. We came close to the record low AND the record high on the same day! Plus we've had about ten times as much snow as normal. Normally, in the winter, we have cool and rainy or cold and clear. December and January we had cold and snow.

I just wish I'd get my van back from the dealer. I've got a loaner, a Ram 1500 quad cab. The hood is so long and the suspension so soft, that I feel like a riverboat pilot pushing a couple barges. Really a sad item, 1100 pounds heavier than my Sprinter and 1/4 the load capacity. But, it's very big and very red and has way too much power, so they probably sell a bundle of them.

Sounds like a typical Chicago day.

It's like what they say about the weather around here.

You don't like it, move the f*ck away.

Wisconsin-Illinois same thing...

That, sir, was COMPLETELY uncalled for. WTF did we ever do to you???

One of the side effects of global warming is more extreme winters, ironically.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read in my life. Besides, 5 days of barely-below-zero low temps hardly constitute an extreme winter. Back in the late 80s we had a winter where it didn't get above zero for a month straight. Now that would be extreme, and no one was harping about global warming then.

I for one, say it's about time. I love this weather, and if anyone doesn't, then move. Lorena, when I retire I'll prolly move NORTH, not south......mebbe you can sell me your house

 

[olllllo]

I see your problem right here.

In Figure 1 we can plainly see that the UFO is causing global warming as evidenced by the Sun melting the clouds in Figure 2.

I spent time in the dessert so I know about the heat too . . . trick is the heat isnt near as bad when you're 4000 miles away from it

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I remember that whenI was a kid. It was like a month below 0 and half of that was at -20 to -40 with windchills at -80. I was in Jr high I think but remembering running from the gym to my moms car after some sports thing with wet hair, hit my head as I got in the car, and had a bald spot from where the hair broke off . . . That was just after they got done preaching to us about Global Cooling

LOL that's right- I remember watching the news and they were talking about an impending ice age........now they're saying the polar caps are gonna melt and we're all gonna drown.....what a joke.

 

[Reverend JC]

Well, anyone else remember when earth day came about in the 70s (i think that was when it was) and they were saying how our emissions were causing the next ice age? F*cking hippies, pull the pipe back and just relax, we are not watching you from that dark blue van outside your house you paranoid smoke outs!

actually I am


























BOO!

Digging deeply into the climate sites one sees that based on historical climate patterns we are near the tipping point into another glaciation period. Chaotic systems near tipping points swing more violently between extremes. Peak temperatures and peak CO2 levels occur just before the tip, with CO2 levels trailing temperature. The arctic ice melts increasing snow fall in Europe and flooding the North Atlantic with fresh water suppressing the Atlantic transporter. Europe gets colder at a time when it is also getting more snow, much of the rest of the world gets hotter.

And then it gets complicated, because there has never been a period where CO2 levels rose abruptly before temperatures peaked.

True sir.

Doesn't mean the cold sucks any less.

[david_42]

Yup! Having been iced in for ten days, I must concur.

 

[Snakebone]

This Global warming is going to keep my beer too warm and I'll have to use more energy to keep it cold. Pretty soon the democrats will ban Brewing to because of the emmissions during the process. Mark my words.

Bah, most politicians emit more greenhouse gasses than your average 6.5 Primary.

Feelin' Eco-Friendly. :fro:
