When I was in high school (in the ‘70s) we had a string of 45 days where the temperature was above 91 degrees, in Missouri.
Wasn’t that when “global cooling” was the big issue?
So why is she wearing a jacket?
An as yet unproven theory now presented as fact. The Big Lie technique.
And in another story - Record Snow falls along the northern US.
This has been going on a lot longer than globull warming. Nature acts as nature wills...
amazing huh?
meanwhile, in North Dakota.. record snow,, not since 1926
Snow sets more records in Grand Forks, Fargo

More snowfall records in eastern North Dakota. The National Weather Service says the Grand Forks airport had 8.1 inches of snow yesterday, setting a record for the date. And Fargo set a record with 5.9 inches.
After Record, Fargo Area Bracing for More Snow

After a record 7.4 inches of snow Saturday, the Fargo area could see more than 6 inches over the next couple of days. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch through Tuesday afternoon for eastern North Dakota and northwest and west-central Minnesota.
Climate cycles happen periodically.
That’s why they’re cyclic.
Over the course of time, the earth heats up. Then, after it’s hot for a while the earth cools off. warmer cooler, warmer, cooler. and WE as humans don’t affect this cycle at all.
Period.
Things live for a time and then die.
It’s all part of the cycle.
Yes.
BTW, look up what the temperature is doing in Antarctica. Down there is is getting colder year after year.
The world doesn’t have a perfectly stable environment. Who knew?

Another climate scientist heard from. TAKE HEED, EVERYONE!
Oh, wait. He's a biologist. Still, he has the correct opinion, so... TAKE HEED, EVERYONE!
I thought die-offs and extinction were part of the natural process. The die-off culled the bats that couldn’t hack it. Their gene pool with be strengthened by the bats that could. No problem here. All is as it should be.
Ahh...global warming is nature...
Why hasn't the die-off been repeated? Sounds like an anomaly rather than a trend.
And if the earth's temperature rises to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, water will boil at sea level. And if it raises to 450 degrees, tin will melt. And if it raises to 4892 degrees, Osmium (whatever that is) will melt.
And if it raises much more than that, maybe Al Gore will melt and we won't have to put up with him anymore.

Get with the program.....record snows are BECAUSE of global warming.....as are record low seasonal snowfalls.....as are warm winters....as are cold winters.....as are....(fill in the blank with ANY climate-ralated statistic)
Freakin’ d’uh....didn’t you get the memo?
