"..You know, a few weeks ago when it was 65 outside I was complaining about us not having winter yet. This morning when I left for work that -6 hit me like a hammer.
Damn global warming..."
on a more positive side, we need this hard cold to last awhile to balance nature.
locally, rabies infected skunks numbers are rising and animals that normally hibernate are really messed up
The common denominator of all these recent predictions of doom is that we are told that there is only one way to prevent certain disaster: hand over our individual freedoms and control of the economy to a political elite.
"This morning when I left for work that -6 hit me like a hammer. "
besides that, when I quick stepped out in just longjohns and tennis shoes to start truck, I got reminded that I had forgot to button flap on the back
Yep. That's the key phrase and motivating scheme behind all of this nonsense.
Ouch. At least I had on my jacket and boots.
I did leave before taking the dog out... my wife was not happy when she woke up and realized that she would have to get out there in the sub-zero weather.
If you think those animals are confused now, just wait until it snows in July!
Planting is later, and harvest is also later. The actual growing season is close to the same length.
I am not afraid, I am amused, and have been saying for a long time that if there WERE a longer growing season it would make me happy. I could grow more Super Beefsteaks and plant less Early Girls in my tomato garden.
It would be great if the growing season was longer, but it seems to have just shifted.
I would love it for my garden also.
Every program running on the Discovery/Time channel is doom and gloom, last night I watched the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef by the crown of thorns starfish. Predictably, the reason is because of the farmers in Oz are selfishly, and uncaringly, growing crops that allow the fertilizer to run off into the sea around the Reef thereby allowing a chain reaction that results in a proliferation of these starfish.
This was only part of the problem, of course, the real one is Global Warming. So trite and so predictable now that the leftoids are controlling the media with the promotion of their nonsense. Why anyone would believe this is hard to understand but many do through the drumbeat of lies and the teaching(indoctrination) of our children in public schools.
I clearly remember the Erlich hysteria and now this, deja vous all over again, heaven help us.
Save for later. Outstanding analysis.
We're also hurtling through the universe at a good clip. Who's steering?
My next home/door neighbor has a huge mulch pile about twelve feet high and twenty feet in diameter.
The mulch is decomposing as we speak, and that process causes much heat.
These days of near zero temps., the 8 to 10 deer all sit/lay around together on this huge warm pile of leaves and small twigs and are in "hog heaven". It looks like a game of "King of The Hill".
LOL
With the wind chill factored in, we're currently at a global warming temp of 12 here in Virginia Beach, Va.
Global warming passed us by this a.m. also. 20 here in our town in NE Alabama.
"Well, some of the Climate Change Chicken Littles (C3L) are beginning to get "smart" (or is that "shrewd") and cover their global cooling / global warming flip-flops by saying that "global warming doesn't just mean everything warms up - it means the weather extremes are getting more extreme." See how that covers anything? Just one step closer to saying "global warming means anything we say it means, so shut up and keep peddaling."
It is a very convenient faith...about every thing is proof of it. Cold = global warming. Warm = golbal warming. Droughts = global warming. Floods = global warming.
They have created a unified field theory for their new secular religion.
Fantastic article, Molly, and thank you for posting it!
