but it doesn't fit as neatly into a sound bite.

Have these so-called "scientists" been approved by "experts" like Sarah Palin and Michell Bachman?

When Republicants whine that this science is bogus then I will know it is for sure factual.

...in sw ohio, we'd already shot 15 rounds of golf, the temp. on the first day of spring was 86*, and we paid for it all summer, with the lack of permafrost killing the bugs, fleas, etc. Until about 10 years ago, in this neck of the woods, it stayed frozen from mid Nov., through mid March, with none of the spring thunderstorms in mid Jan./Feb. that are now common. Much windier too, dang it.

Now as happened last fall w/ sandy we have high pressure systems over
Greenland changing normal weather patterns.

Pretty damn sad the politicians did virtually nothing.

PWNED is internet slang that means "Owned, dominated" or "Perfectly Owned"

The jet stream is further south than it would normally be now.

I was all ready to sunbath in January here in PA.....instead, I am having no spring at the end of March! This sucks.

And still, there are too many people denying that there is a problem. Just today, I heard talk radio going on and on about how this is a lie. We are doomed if we can't get the message out.

T-baggers and such, they are too busy ruining the Earth for the next generation.

as long as all the talking heads are working so hard to convince them otherwise......and convince them that scientists don't know what they are talking about.

Of course not as crazy as in the movie or as quickly, but something similar as to the planet doing a self cleansing I suppose. Or I guess another Ice Age comes along after the mess global warming is causing.

Alter a few parameters in something as large and complex as our planet's weather systems, and things can change radically.

The teabaggers may deride global climate change as "turning the planet into a desert", so they can say "See, it's snowing! Global warming's a hoax!"

But warm things up by a few degrees, watch some of the arctic ice melt, and watch weather patterns change radically, which, yes, results in more blizzards at times.

"Weather weirding" is starting to look more and more accurate every passing year.....

Last year at this time the cherry blossoms had come and gone. This year they haven't started to pop yet

Thanks for the thread, Redfairen.

That was one of the more accelerated consequences the ecologists and scientists warning us had hoped we could avoid by taking action decades ago.
