Strange blue lights glowing on the edge of space first appeared over polar regions in 1885 and today, sightings are becoming increasingly common, and now the phenomenon is moving into lower latitudes including Northern California.
Like the proverbial canary in the coal mine, these glowing space clouds may be a celestial siren, warning of Earth's global warming, according to some scientists.
They're called "noctilucent clouds" or NLCs, basically, clouds that glow at night. They appear mainly in northern latitudes, about 50 miles above earth as miniscule droplets of water reflect the sun on the other side of the globe.
Now, they're moving father south.
"Public interest in noctilucent clouds is definitely growing as they spread to mid-latitudes," said SpaceWeather.com's Tony Phillips, who tracks the appearances and reports from astronomers.

Do you know there are some people out there who are unhappy with the way that we care for the Earth?

Oh noes, we are doomed. We are completely surrounded by global warming. Back in the good old days we only had to worry about things at ground/sea level - polar bears dying to the north, ice shelves to the south, rising sea levels to the east and west, hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, drought, flooding, and mudslides in the middle. Now we have to worry about the sky! Oh Noes, what's next? Earthquakes and volcanoes? Please, please take my money and fix this problem. I am a pansy, pussy boy and I am afraid. Protect me dear government, keep me safe, and punish those evil deniers.

They’re moving south because we’re more laid back down here. Less government regulation, lower taxes, and you could survive the winter with no heater.

There is a -remote- possibility the ancient astro thing is real. There is -Zero- possibility any scientist refered to in this propaganda, publish papers worthy of anything but wiping their own arses with. And likely they arent good for that either.

They're not clouds. They are trails of atomized aluminum oxide and they are being spread purposefully in order to affect weather patterns. This is how they look during the day and what they turn into at dusk.

"Public interest in noctilucent clouds is definitely growing as they spread to mid-latitudes,"Yeah, that's all that everybody around here has been talking about. Well, that, and the video that's been going around showing a bunch of bears playing in someone's swimming pool.

They're in the dishwasher with the other dishes and will be done in about 10 minutes.

So then global warming can’t be caused by man since the lights were last seen in 1885, long before we had SUVs and thousands of massive power plants and factories.
Even the shallowest of thinking shows how the global warming they blame on man is simply a recurring event of nature going back as far as we can measure.

According to 'some' scientists!
A more likely explanation is these lights are the eternal migration of space cooties looking for liberal minds to infest.

Be careful about what you say about the guy with,”weird hair”. He is smart and could be the next President. Or are you talking about different weird hair guy.

I would think this proves the earth has a negative feedback mechanism and therefore the disastrous Global Warming predicted by computer models is false.
