Hat tip to iceagenow.com for link. Instead of preparing for what the sun plainly forecast was coming, the idiot apes of planet Earth decided to got together in Copenhagen to stop warming. I guess we should at least take comfort in the fact that the idiot apes failed miserably. Imagine how cold and snowy it would have been if their plans to cool the Earth had actually been carried out.

how can this be? Isn’t the planet getting warmer?!

I am stunned.

(sarcasm off)

[MediaMole]

Just like the British. Everyone knows you don’t put grits on the road. Cream of Wheat works better than grits.

Isn’t the planet getting warmer?!

Only if you are living within their stupid climate computer models. Those of us in the real world have to face reality.

European weather deaths pass 100

Temperatures were expected to plunge as low as -6C in many areas last night.

-6 C equals +21.2 F. That's cold?

I’ve been reading the headlines out of the UK and German press on their winter storm.

Here’s my perspective from Wyoming: Europeans (modulo the Scandinavians, Baltics and Russia) are simply pussies. The Limey and Kraut press is filled with hand-wringing accounts of how terribly cold it is, how awful the snow is, blah, blah, blah.

Here in Wyoming, we look at this and ask “WTF? This is the same weather we were enjoying here in Wyoming... in OCTOBER.”

I too am stuned like my beeber

-6 C equals +21.2 F. That's cold?

For some people, yes. The United Kingdom is surrounded by water. In winter that water is warmer then the typical winter air at that latitude. The further east you go the less of an affect from the oceans water. Thus, Russians probably also laugh at the Western Europeans in the winter time. Some parts of Germany did however get down to -33 C.

Six below, Celsius? This is a problem? Sorry, I’m unmoved.

[montomike]

It’s actually been kind of balmy here in Western Montana. It rained and got rid of the snow.

I kind of like it.

The Gore Effect^TM.

Cheers!

Enjoy it.

There won’t be any ice next year thanks to Global Warming...

More concerned about Global Cooling Blizzards right now. This latest Blizzard to hit Europe killed 100. We now have triple digit deaths from the Blizzards. Just as bad as Hurricanes. Can you imagine the logistics required to support 2,000 motorists strung out over dozens of miles in snow ? If that happens in late January, gonna see some serious freezing numbers.

That-damn-global-warming ping.

In Colorado at over 9,000 ft. here, we’re having a heat wave now. ...almost 17 F, -8 C (approximation). -19 F, -28 C one morning so far (weeks ago). A few inches of snow daily, most days. It’s great! :-)

I-70, eastern plains of Colorado, at least once per year, no imagination necessary.

Find out as to whether the following South Korean Tires (tyres) are available in your country by any name. I've driven on ice nearly every day for quite a few years (including high mountain passes with shelf roads), and these are the best (while being lowest in price here). I have them studded, of course, but have also driven them without studs. ...great on ice, and even better on ice when studded on all four. You need four of them, even on two-wheel-drive vehicles, for better steering control and braking.

...on ice most days for about 7 months out of each year, that is.

[Post Toasties]

Let the You’re-a-peon global warming alarmists suck ice for a few months.

Well thank god we’re nationalizing Healthcare just in time then. :)
