Load of bunk. Spring arrives Friday. So what's the problem?

Some folks have a real issue with Mother Nature and ol’ terra firma and natural processes, or fear losing their grants as the hoax is revealed behind global warming and man driving what is actually natural climate change, methinks.

I drove by the Unicron Golf Course in Stoneham MA on the way to work this morning and the sign said “OPEN”. However my 5 Iron only would have served to shovel the snow we were getting while I drove by.

...The buoys can dive 3,000 feet down and measure ocean temperature. Since the system was fully deployed in 2003, it has recorded no warming of the global oceans.

“There has been a very slight cooling, but not anything really significant,” Willis says....

talk about your rough lie. ;-)

my fruit trees are blossoming out real good here. :-)

Never mind that it was the coldest winter in decades.

Anecdotal evidence that "proves" global warming is "science," anecdotal evidence that disproves it is... anecdotal.

It’s not due to Global Warming. The culprit is Daylight Savings Time. All those hours add up over time.

Boy, am I ready for some warm weather. And the allergies are the worst ever.

Global warming? Total scam.

“National Phenology Network at the U.S. Geological Survey to monitor these changes.”

Soon to be followed by a National Phrenology Network made up of the very same scientists and their personal physicians.

The capital's famous cherry trees are primed to burst out in a perfect pink peak about the end of this month. Thirty years ago, the trees usually waited to bloom till around April 5.

Ohfercryinoutloud.......FIVE DAYS EARLY?????? Get a grip, libs!!

[Democrat_media]

The liberal mainstream media, in their attempt to destroy capitalism and grow the government, continue to blatantly lie and to brainwash the public with outright lies. There is no global warming. This year the earth cooled almost a whole degree Celsius.

So now global warming is making birds tweep and flowers blossom? Sheesh.

[NormsRevenge]

Yup! Thanks! I just saw that. :-)

[NormsRevenge]

I can’t wait for the return of the fleas myself.. woof!

Scam? Oh yeah.
Bigtime.

Yes, and 750 years ago the grapes were beginning to sprout in Newfoundland about this time. But grapes don’t grow there anymore because its too cold the whole year.

My grandfather always said that the last real cold spell came near Easter. If you have an early Easter, you have an early spring.

Easter will not come this early again for another 248 years.
