Algore must have scheduled a global warming conference in Moscow.

Wow, can we put this in our pipe and smoke it, and place our bets at the bank, are we sure these people know their stuff?

Algore needs to hibernate in a hut in Siberia.

Perhaps he can get a Russian bear to give him a massage and relase all his chakras.

Who knows?

It's been unseasonably cool here in Texas already. I had to throw a second blanket on the bed when normally we still have the a/c going.

Now it’s “climate disruption”. And we’re still to blame.

[EternalVigilance]

I think I better cut more firewood...

Note to self: Don’t vacation in Russia this winter.

Same here in NC. It’s going down to 43 tonight and I’m thinking seriously of turning on the heat.

It was 107 yesterday here in AZ. I’m jealous.

Well there is definitely some colder weather on the way. I can already feel the chill here in New England.

For most of the past 4-5 months, it has been seasonably mild and I've had the windows open on most nights. However, those days now appear to be over as much cooler weather is moving in.

Now I don't have all those fancy college degrees that the meteorologists seem to have, but I don't need to be a weatherman to know that something is definitely going on out there. I've been closing my windows at night and throwing on an extra blanket. I think the hazy, lazy days that we've had for the past few months are now at an end.

Ditto here in SE Texas.

Here the forecasters often rely on wooly worms. I’m not sure if those are caterpillars or what, but I did see a squirrel today with an unusually bushy tail and coat. Maybe he knows something we don’t. ;O)

Um. Don’t vacation in Russia any winter.

The NWS predicts higher temps. I say they are full of it. Mt. Leconte, Tennessee got 3” of snow today. It is colder. A fun link to the couple on the Mountain lives here.

You can’t do that. You’ll make smoke./s

That’s beautiful.

“Um. Don’t vacation in Russia any winter.”

No need. I’ll just go to Bismarck, ND. Similar weather.

Reminds me of the summer heat story about Russians drowning because they were swimming while drunk (on vodka?).

With the “warming” effect of ethyl alcohol, I wonder if (when) we’ll see stories about Russians freezing to death while drunk.

Meanwhile....here in the Seattle area, we are forecast to have a mild winter. I sure hope they’re right! Winter 2008 was rough. ‘09 was easy peasy.
