Global warming??......it's -33 F, wind chill -52 F

[carlyhippy]

once it gets below zero it all feels the same....:scared:
It's freakin warmer in Russia, Greenland, and the Artic than it is here right now!

[Jamastiene]

1. Don't worry.

The collective sighs of relief all over the world on January 20th when Bush leaves the White House will warm it back up. :P

[Uben]

2. Global warming accelerated?

Nah, the Bush whitehouse burning records is expected to raise global temperatures by .7 0f a degree!

[Bosso 63]

3. It's a balmy -22 here in Minneapolis.

[Birthmark]

4. PSA

If there's one thing climate change theory says, it's that it can never, ever be cold anywhere at any time...ever. (Every snowflake is a nail in the coffin of climate change theory, you know.)


















(Should I have used the sarcasm smiley?)

5. minus 21 in dixon il

31 below 20 miles from here in rochelle illinois. it`s almost as cold as the late 70`s deep freeze

[Lint Head]

6. Climate shift because of global warming is provable based on passed

geological records. Climate shift in Washington and the world is provable based on the current fact that the 'world' celebrated when Barach Hussein Obama was elected.
:dem:

[pleah]

7. Maybe if the right term were used it would make more sense.

Climate change.:)

[malaise]

8. Ding ding

:D

[Boomerang Diddle]

15. "Climate change"

Bears repeating!

[Cetacea]

9. Ice is melting faster than scientists had predicted

Which could be contributing to the extreme cold. However, it would help if more people would use the proper term, "Climate Change".

Stay warm!

[Political Tiger]

10. What? Cold weather in winter?

Who would have ever imagined?

[Cetacea]

12. Yeah. Traditionally January is the coldest month. eom

[Aviation Pro]

11. As always, folks assume that a day or a week of cold weather....

...in one isolated area is proof positive that global warming is not occuring. Wrong, it is an anomaly over the course of time and with respect to the entirety of global data. You want proof positive that it is occuring? Disregard air temperatures (caused by movement of air masses with respect to the polar and sub-tropical jet streams) and focus on sea surface temperatures.

13. Global warming doesn't mean the end of cold weather

It means massive climate extremes.

[baldguy]

14. "Climate change" - more energy in a system makes temps more extreme and chaotic,

[droidamus2]

16. yes it is cold

It is -15 degrees where I live here in Vermont, but two days ago where my brother lives in Eureka, CA (on the coast about 300 miles north of San Francisco) it was 75 degrees. Their average summer high is in the mid-60's. I am no expert but I think the idea is that global warming disrupts weather patterns. That doesn't mean it will be warmer everywhere all the time.

[carlyhippy]

17. OK! "global warming" in the OP was meant to be sarcastic, the point is...it's COLD here

26. now you know this

it's usually dumbasses & reich wingers (but I repeat myself) that use your OP "argument" to counter global climate crisis claims. Perhaps you didn't realize this.

27. I didn't know, but now I do haha.

wow

18. Maybe some of our record-breaking heat

in southern California will blow eastward. Honestly, last week I was sleeping with socks on, and this week it's in the 80's. We're on fire alert again. I feel for you experiencing temperatures and wind chills below zero - I brought my 10 frost bitten toes from the Midwest out here years ago. When it gets below 50 degrees in L.A., the tingling and itching start all over again.

[carlyhippy]

21. yes, please, we would love some heat here...

I hate to see those wildfires in CA, so much destruction. I have been California Dreamin for the past 3 weeks now, we have 3 ft of snow on the ground along with the frigid temps. I just walked outside to unplug my car's block heater, I thought my hair was completely dry.....it wasn't; my hair was crunchy when I came back in, and I was only outside less than 2 minutes haha.
Someday, we will call California home, we plan to move there in about 10 years or so.

19. Anchorage is suppose to be 41 today

I also saw where Fairbanks was suppose to be 36.
It's currently -24(record) here with a windchill of -51..

I agree climate change would be a better explanation.

[SheilaT]

20. I recall reading, sometime in the 1960's, I believe,

that we were coming out of an unusually mild and stable weather period that had lasted 80, and that we were now entering a period of more highly variable weather, which would have more extremely cold events, more extremely hot events, more drought, more heavy rainfall, and so on. This was not presented as climate change as we now understand it, but as a time of greater unpredictability. And it started, at least in the U.S. with a couple of seriously cold and snowy winters that had people seriously worried about a coming ice age.

Also, global warming as we understand it CAN lead to another ice age. Recent studies of ancient climate have shown that the world can plunge into a new ice age in about ten years, that once the ball starts rolling there's no stopping it.

[RandomKoolzip]

22. Climatic change means that there will be volleys of extreme

weather conditions - bigger, fiercer storms, more intense heat AND cold, more devastating flooding, etc. And yes, it's being caused by the humans.

[Ilsa]

23. Remember to tell the deniers: "weather vs climate". nt

[Terran]

24. This kind of cold is 'normal'

This is what people used to expect as routine in winter. You're just not used it it because we've all been spoiled by all the warmer winters we've been having for the past, what, 15 years, at least?

[DS1]

25. This is a joke, right?

[ddeclue]

28. that's why it's not called "local" warming...

GLOBAL is the operative word...

:rofl:

[PVnRT]

29. My cat's breath smells like cat food

[slackmaster]

30. GW is always a hard sell in January, at least in most of the country

It's in the 70s here. :)

[Johonny]

31. It's 79 F here

damn you global warming
