I am in Seattle and it is in the 20s. Brr. I thot it is colder than normal as the wind blew yesturday and I told my friend that the wind blowing. and as a Mainer it use to get chilly in the winter and tons of snow in them small Maine towns. That was years ago. I do hate the cold as I am in my 50s. My friend asked if I needed any extra blankets nope I have blankets to keep warm.

CBSisPravda1 (et. al):

You, obviously, have no idea what you''re talking about, on at least two counts.

In the first place, the cold snap has no bearing whatever on the reality of Global Warming. Global Warming is simple physics, and incontrovertible. No reputable scientists doubts it; the only argument is the cause. The Global Warming model allows for extreme weather swings, including extremes of cold.
Regardless, Gore did not originate the term or the theory.

In the second, Fox is America''s version of Pravda. They are not only biased, but make, in practice, no secret of the fact (regardless of their Orwell-esque sloganeering). Actually, their justification is exactly the same as Pravda: "All other news sources, domestic and foreign are lying, only we have the truth."

In greenland the melted ice revealed where people had lived and grown food. then it froze over and they left, now its thawing out again, THE PLANET CHANGES!!!

Oh for crying out loud, they have found fossils of sea animals in the mountains and the deserts, which tells us at one point in history those places were UNDER WATER, the planet changed NOW THEIR NOT. Good Grief.

"Proponents of human induced warming and climate change told us that an increase in CO2 precedes and causes temperature increases. They were wrong. They told us the late 20th century was the warmest on record. They were wrong. They told us, using the infamous %u201Chockey stick%u201D graph, the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) did not exist. They were wrong. They told us global temperatures would increase through 2008 as CO2 increased. They were wrong. They told us Arctic ice would continue to decrease in area through 2008. They were wrong. They told us October 2008 was the second warmest on record. They were wrong. They told us 1998 was the warmest year on record in the US. They were wrong it was 1934. They told us current atmospheric levels of CO2 are the highest on record. They are wrong. They told us pre-industrial atmospheric levels of CO2 were approximately 100 parts per million (ppm) lower than the present 385 ppm. They are wrong. This last is critical because the claim is basic to the argument that humans are causing warming and climate change by increasing the levels of atmospheric CO2 and have throughout the Industrial era. In fact, pre-industrial CO2 levels were about the same as today, but how did they conclude they were lower?" http://doctorbulldog.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/exposing-the-global-warming-myth-co2-levels/

Before you put Al Gore down on his Global Warming video, research Global Warming. According to the calender, the season we''re currently in is Fall, but we''re seeing all this cold weather coming in. Global Warming increases overall temperature recorded through the year, not just for one season or month. It also causes temperature, weather, climate change, to become more severe/extreme. By extreme, you''re looking at the temperature dropping passed the average level.

did you happen to notice the mysterious TsunamiPosted by ms1-1-1 at 10:23 AM : Dec 16, 2008
OK..Can''t take it anymore. Are you insisting that a satellite is responsible for a sunami? Do you realize how much power would be required for such an event? An atomic bomb would not cause such a thing!
Great movie though!

All this global warming is making me shiver. I''d better get some extra blankets. I''d like to have 1% of all the money wasted on global warming "studies" (a.k.a "natural cyclical changes in the earth" *eyeroll*) and put it towards my heating bill since it''s so COLD!!

I like how they talk about really bad hurricanes the likes of which we''ve never seen. Look up the Galveston hurricane of 1900. It was like a Cat 5. They are not getting stronger, idiots are just moving closer to the water.

"You can not point to one frigid week or even one frigid season in one part of the world to claim warming (or cooling) on a global scale is or is not happening."

But if you are a Global Warming Sheep, you can point to one day of hot weather to prove it.
