2006 was the hottest year on record in the US. Everybody with a BRAIN who can READ knows that global warming is a trend and that cold weather can still take place. Can't for the life of me understand why Christians are so eager to destroy the planet. When New York and London are submerged in snowmelt and civilization cracks, your kids are going to dispise you global warming deniers.

Since you admit, regarding your very last post, to this planet going through 'natural' changes, why would you make fun, at the 'possibility' of an impending Ice Age? It's happened before, it can happen again. None of us really know for sure, now do we?

As for the polar bears, I will not just 'accept' their extinction, as in saying..."oh, well, time for them to be extinct, nothing we can do"..mentality. We CAN save them, and will.

And didn't anyone ever teach you, it's not NICE to call anyone an idiot??

pakaal,
Every effect has a response. thats normal and natural. I didn't say, exhaust gases, or bovine methane patties don't initiate a response by the planet. I am saying, the planet goes through changes. these changes have happened for billions of years. it didn't take man-made exhaust gases (bovine to) to change the earth. natural occurances happen. everytime an artic cold front comes down, or somebody has an abnormal high or low temp, the trees bloomed in Jan, or the birds are flying backwards, we always point to "global warming". I consider myself lucky enough to actually witness and se a small, minute % of that change that will probably take millions of years to complete, and who knows what will be the end result. Maybe Alaska will be the new Hawaii. Texas will move to Michigans spot. It's like the polar bears. Maybe their time is over. Maybe mother nature is saying, guys you had a great run, now it's time to be extinct. Everything can't live and thrive forever. Extinction wasn't originally caused by man, it was caused by natural occurances (changes), and it started billions of years ago.

Must be global warming. I'm sure Al Gore is out filming footage for his next science fiction movie. As the author of the ultimate book on political correctness, "Dodgeball", I must say that its somewhat humorous watching the liberal media try to explain this away.

In the end it'll all come out alright. Just as long as they remember NOT to call FEMA!

I don't know if this particular storm can be blamed on climate change per se, but get real. Last week Exxon (no less) admitted humans are having an impact on the environment. They join everyone except the fringe elements still hoping that somehow the climate change issue will vanish. And now George Bush is planning to make a speech admitting that humans are behind these changes we're seeing.

What are the fringe elements going to do with themselves once Bush finally admits the truth? I'm sure they'll blame his about-face on political expediency or something. Meanwhile we continue to change the world climate - like it or not. With any luck Bush's speech will allow us to get back to the Kyoto protocols and we can start actually trying to save us from this creeping catastrophe in progress.

Every once in awhile I'll hear this loud noise like someone is scraping ice off the sidewalk outside my window or something but it's just branches snapping off because of the ice and hitting the ground.

"We had cold weather here from last Fri through this Wed. The official high here on Tues Jan 9 was 38 below and the low was 44 below, though it was colder in some places. Hard to deal with after all the darkness starts to catch up with you too. I wonder if its the same cold air mass."

I lived in Western Oklahoma (Weatherford) during the last big ice storm in February 2002 and it was a mess! 19,000 power poles down statewide. Took more then a month for some people to get electricity back.

Oh my God. It must be a conspiracy. Let me see the gov't is controlling the weather and making it cause ice storms from Ill to TX panhandle. Oh geez, maybe I should call George Noory, or Art Bell, or better yet it must have been an inside job. Let's get Alex Jones in on this! Hey global warming morons. have you ever realized how many times the earth has gone "arid"? How about how many ice ages it's gone through? How many times have the continents shifted and changed? How many times have the oceans filled and receeded? Try thousands of times over billions and billions of years. You just happen to be alive during one of her changes and you can actually see some of the signs of changes. No global warming. No threat of our generation dying out. Eventually yeah, everything but those that are fit to survive will become extinct. It happens all the time. Oh, oh. I see freezing rain coming, or is that a glacier? Oh my, it must be another ice age! Ha! Ha! Ha! Idiots.

Well I just went to venture out to take a trip to the grocery store after this ice storm hit me last night and said **** on that... my driveway looks like an ice skating rink... I'll be kicking back and hibernating another day or two before I decide to fight mother nature..... thankfully the electric hasn't gone off or anything, lot of ice though.

I wonder if this is the same cold air mass that we just got through dealing with on Wednesday. It was really cold here in Fairbanks, Alaska from about Friday last week through Wednesday Jan 10. The official high on Tuesday Jan 9 was 38 below zero and the low was 44 below, though it was colder in some places. Hard to deal with after all the darkness starts to catch up with you too.

Pakaal. Don't insult my intelligence. I am well aware that parts of global warming are freezing, though I find it humorous that while we say it's global warming, it's COLD. BUT, I don't really know if I believe in global warming. I've not been alive long enough to see these patterns for myself. Not to mention, there are only a couple hundred years worth of weather records. And as for increased overall temperature, there are 6 billion peoples worth of body heat taking up the earth that wasn't here in 1899
