Unusual cold and snow in large parts of China.  Are we entering into a new ice age?

Oh no, RG, we're merely witnessing the slow development of the killer ice cyclone that was shown in 'The Day After Tomorrow'.  LOL, the hype and hysteria of the whole issue sure has been silenced this winter.

So it's settled then. There is no global warming.

Do you think the Giants will win the "Big Game"?

Nope.  Sorry.  We've got the ice cores to prove it.  Next.

Ice cores predict the winner of the Super Bowl?

With all of this global cooling going on, I urge everyone to rev up their SUV's and burns as much fuel as possible. We need to stay ahead of this.

[gatorback]

Let's cover all the bases.

Monday:       SUV's, only, no catalytic converters to the head of the gas lines, no recycle
Tuesday:      It's electric, or hydrogen, bikes, green shirts please, no a/c, recycle
Wednesday:  Free for all.  Feel free to bring out those pre OBD cars, Free wash, a/c, no recycle
Thursday:     It's electric, or hydrogen, bikes, green shirts please, no a/c, recycle
Friday:         Mass Transit, Hybrid,  OBD I, and OBD II,Water from 11AM-2PM, recycle 1 AM-1:15 AM

Sunday:       SUV's, Pre OBD, Post OBD II and your magic carpet, Water yard 8:00 PM - 7 PM, a/c, no recycle

More bad news for global warmistas.  Arctic temperatures reign across the US.  Temps in the upper Midwest more than 30 degrees below normal.   

Arctic Chill Stretches Coast to Coast

(Jan. 21) - Bitter cold gripped most of the United States on Monday, with temperatures dipping below normal from coast to coast.

Temperatures in the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains were about 30 degrees below normal, CNN meteorologist Bonnie Schneider said.

"It's very hard to find any part of the country that's warm," Schneider said.

In Presque Isle, Maine, the overnight low dropped to 27 below zero, according to the National Weather Service. Monday's high in extreme northern Maine was not expected to make it up to zero, the service said, and the wind chill made it feel much colder.

In Butte, Montana, the temperature at 10 a.m. (noon ET) was 20 below zero, up from an overnight low of 32 below.

The cold hampered firefighting efforts in Lawrence, Massachusetts, where firefighters had to deal with frozen hydrants and frigid temperatures during a seven-alarm fire.

The pre-dawn blaze destroyed a dozen homes and sent one person to a hospital, the city's fire chief said.

Icy temperatures in Fort Collins, Colorado, forced organizers to move their celebration of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday indoors, CNN affiliate KMGH-TV in Denver reported.

Heavy lake-effect snow blanketed parts of upstate New York.

In Fulton, New York, near Syracuse, deep snow collapsed the roof of a Department of Public Works garage, according to CNN affiliate WSYR-TV in Syracuse. The people inside escaped unharmed, but snowblowers and salt trucks needed for snow removal were stuck inside the damaged building, the station reported.

More snow was in the forecast for the region -- possibly up to 12 inches.

Snow also was expected in Chicago, Illinois, and other areas near Lake Michigan. Weather was blamed for flight delays of up to an hour and 45 minutes at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and an hour at Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning until 5 a.m. ET Tuesday for parts of Michigan. The service said snowfall could top 8 inches in some areas.

Thank you, Stephen. Leave it to people so completely self-absorbed that they can not see past the 'now' into the future, to focus on only one aspect of a larger condition.  It's the equivalent of focusing only on the cough when your child has the flu.  Come on, let's treat that cough, forget about the sniffling, the wheezing, the headaches, none of that matters, they're all something else entirely and not tied to the coughing at all, right?

Where was I when the mountain went for sale?! I'd at least have thrown a five spot down on that place.

How quaint. The newspaper labels it as global warming due to lack of precipitation. I guess there was man-made global warming during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, the Irish Potato Famine of the 1870s, the Bengal Famine of 1770, and the Mayan society collapse in the early ages of man.  It's hilarious...label it climate change rather than global warming, because it's so easy to sucker people.

[gatorback]

    um, okay

[Charleston native]

Good Lord, Stephen, are you serious? Even the disasters before the Industrial Revolution? I may have to cure cancer to make up for my paragraph, but you'd have to eliminate death on this planet to make up for your statement.

[midnightblackrx]

My, My. You guys behave.

You have to admit SD that there is a leap of Faith involved by fully engulfing yourself in the ideology of Global Warming claim.  I mean come-on.  When you say it causes heating, cooling, rain, snow, fire, earthquake, hurricane, you've pretty much got every base covered. You might as well throw these weather phenomenon in the "miracle" category.

[Charleston native]

Uh Stephen, read the entirety of the Mayan collapse in Wikipedia...there is a thing called drought, i.e. lack of precipitation which is pretty apparent in every single famine and drought. Lack of rain was not caused because of man-made actions onto the overall environment, which is what the global warming Nazis are proclaiming today. You're failing to see the overall big picture...we can only control what we do with the land and weather that is given to us; we cannot control the weather.

Like midnight said, I'm wondering when man will be the cause of earthquakes and volcanos according to this ludicrous ideology.

[second_pancake]

I'm wondering when man will be the cause of earthquakes and volcanos according to this ludicrous ideology.

When we start probing into previously 'sleeping' volcanos to extract minerals essential to the dormant volcano remaining dormant, and when we build communities on known fault lines, using dynamite or other explosive devices in the earth for building those foundations.  Did we CREATE the volcano or the earthquake, no, but whomever chooses to ignore or otherwise irritate the natural balance of nature can surely be at fault for the deaths of the people they carelessly put in that path.
