From the bridge of the Coast Guard cutter Mackinaw, northern Lake Huron looks like a vast, snow-covered field dotted with ice slabs as big as boulders - a battleground for the icebreaker's 58-member crew during one of the roughest winters in memory...

As of Thursday, ice cover extended across 88 percent,...

At Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin, the rock-solid cover has allowed around 35,000 visitors to trudge miles over Lake Superior to explore caves featuring dazzling ice formations. It's the first time in five years the lake surface has been firm enough to allow passage....

Coast Guard icebreaker teams, it's all business. They've logged four times more hours this season than the average for the same period in recent years...

Care to guess how he votes?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Sure he is, he is claiming that globull warming is causing more extreme winters.

Has algore picked up his satline/land line on his G-5 a/c to comment? No? Why not?

Let’s strip Albert naked, slap on some ice skates, and make him cross to Canada!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Where is Al Gore?

[Gaffer]

I’d bet if one were to provide a concurrent video of his statements, he would see Gore doing that from the warm confines of a Jacuzzi between mouthfuls of cheeseburgers, curly fries and chocolate milk shakes.

bat gluttonous fastard.

I submit the reason we are experiencing “GLOBAL COOLING” is because the global warming scientists DIDN’T COMPENSATE for what would happen when we got rid of all the CO2.

Now we need to pull scientists in front of committees asking how they plan to FIX WHAT THEY HAVE BROKEN.

globull warming is causing more extreme winters.

Obvious to the most casual observer.........

Al has turned into a pitiable self imposed recluse of Howard Hughes proportions. He rarely ventures out into the sun, his nemesis, and it is reported his skin is becoming translucent, naked he looks like two blue spots and a brown one.

Global Warming caused it to freeze. Global cooling will cause it to melt. Everything the democrats do is BACKASSWARDS. It’s in their genes they are off 180 degrees from kilter.

See, Cold fusion does exist.

45 ducks today on one of the two final clarifiers at the wastewater treatment plant I run. Not sure why they prefer one over the other but thinking wherever they would usually rather be is frozen over.

[Mike Darancette]

To get really cold the Arctic Ocean has to melt some.

Meanwhile, Al Gore is absolutely nowhere to be found for comment.

Wait... there he is... just updated his Facebook status (not GenderCisQueerNotMaleBiHermaphrodite)
