Brick stupid Freeptards acting dumber than wooden posts....

....the latest "duh-huh, I'se a Moran" thread. This one tries to link the current snowfall in Anchorage to the lack of global warming. Little do the small brained understand that in order to hold enough water vapor the environment needs warmer temperatures. Anchorage during the winter should be bone dry (due to normal cold temperatures). For the full stupidity, go here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1762426/posts


Record snow fall buries Anchorage ( Global Warming )

It's been snowing all day in Anchorage and it's still coming. A combination of snow, fog and ice contributed to more than 100 cars becoming stuck in ditches and snow berms across the city.

The Anchorage Police Department said accidents occurred at a pace of a collision every 10 minutes today.

A snow advisory remains in effect and the job of digging out is only beginning.

Midtown resident Linda Rinard just returned from vacation.

"I just flew in at 9:00 a.m. from Las Vegas; two weeks and sunny Las Vegas," she said.

Sherri Stein picked up Rinard from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and brought her to Stein's driveway. Rinard and Stein are among the army of folks with shovels and snow blowers digging out, but only making room for more snow to take its place. The constantly falling snow and fog make it difficult for drivers to see the road.

Some ended up stuck in a snow bank like Jennifer Alger.

"I was just driving down the road and everything all looked the same, just all white. And my tires caught the snow bank, just went right through it, so my car's completely stuck," she said.

The worst of the snow-related accidents happened on the Glenn Highway this morning. Five cars and two people were taken to the hospital. Traffic was forced to reroute on the Hiland Road exit.

Some of those in the ditch say they dove for it as they tried to avoid other cars.

"I just decided to get in the ditch rather than hit them in the middle of the road," said Shannon Overstreet, who was stuck in a ditch.

You'd think that Alaskans know how to drive in snow and ice, and they do. It is these cheechakos who never even saw a live snowflake before and just got to Alaska this summer. Probably 1/3 the population.

I've lived in Anchorage for over 30 years. Some years are wet, some are dry. Sometimes we get snow early in the season, sometimes late. Some years are very cold, some are quite warm. What I can say with authority though is that overall (with the exception of maybe this past year) summers have been getting warmer, drier and longer. We've been planting earlier and harvesting later. We've had more extensive wild fires than in past years because of encroaching bark beetles. Erosion along the west coast is so bad that entire villages are in danger of falling into the ocean. Polar bear habitat is in trouble. Glaciers are receding, permafrost is melting.

How anybody can deny that the effects of climate change are being felt in Alaska is completely beyond me.
