...or not.

Except now we know that global warming causes the polar vortex to make it colder longer.

Got to hand it to the scientists as they predict both more snow and less snow. They’re covered either way.

I tried to warn them about allowing the concentration of CO2 in atmosphere from increasing from 0.040% to 0.042%. Dangerous levels like that stop convection in the atmosphere so no heat can get to space, but even worse it lowers the theoretical height above the ground level where one can expect 100% of long wave radiation will strike a CO2 molecule which is statistically about head height by a few thousandths of a millimeter

Yeah, what is that about? More grants? Lazy research? Garbage in - Garbage out with their computer models? How can they be so wrong so often in my entire life?

When the globull warming scare first came along, I used to post all the 70's predictions that never occurred: new ice age, ozone depletion, over-population, Alcar, cloning, and on...

Britain to be barren of snow? I say, frightfully bad!

[Montana_Sam]

Too bad science doesn’t understand what is climate.

Remember the early ‘70s...
It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong,
It’s nature’s way of telling you in a song,
It’s nature’s way of telling you, freezing trees,
It’s nature’s way of telling you, dying breeze,
It’s nature’s way of receiving you,
It’s nature’s way of retrieving you,
It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong,
It’s nature’s way of telling you in a song...

Back then we were all waiting for the “New Ice Age”, remember?
Glad they changed their theme to global weather change as it’s more appropriate, the weather’s always changing.

[jmacusa]

Oh yeah. I remember it well. We were going to freeze to death. And there was the ‘’Population Bomb’’. We were going to multiply by the millions and cover the planet like locusts.
