Damn you, Algore! Why did you have to single-handedly stop global warming?

Most of us can sit in our homes, and eat the food we have prepped!

All the liberals in the cities can be lucky to live through it, when a major disaster does happen. They will get to see that the real world ain’t what they were taught. All those evil guns, preppers and bitter clingers will be their salvation.

Maybe an event like this (a month or so without food, power, clean water) will wake them up.

I call BS. Remember after Katrina and Rita, forecasters were openly stating that we could expect endless Cat 5 summers from now on. I think even AlGore used this premise in his movie.

I work with the power industry and we did come very, very close to rolling brownouts during the worst weather.

Obama’s (liberal)policies will never change, but a few hundred citizens freezing to death may spur some changes.

There would have been fewer concerns had the environmentalists not opposed new pipelines and new combined-cycle power plants proposed in the Northeast that would replace lost coal power and would help stabilize the grid.

The SAD THING (or maybe pathetic thing) is that Republicans, most likely, will not even attempt to link the electricity shortage to Obama Administration policies - most of which are illegal without approval from Congress. Instead, at best, they may promise to “fix it”.

And why not, because their CONSULTANTS (most of them gay, by the way) CONTINUE to tell them that ANY criticism of the president will be received as racist - and those officeholders CONTINUE to trust and believe them.

In a sane world, this situation would prompt investment in more energy supplies — if it weren’t illegal thx to the Rats.

“There would have been fewer concerns had the environmentalists not opposed new pipelines and new combined-cycle power plants proposed in the Northeast that would replace lost coal power and would help stabilize the grid.”........

Nothing will resolve this UNTIL the liberals themselves are affected. Then and only then will the “talks” begin as to why this happened and what can be done about it”. Then they can all say, “Global Warming isn’t what it used to be”.

First, liberals never take responsibility for their actions.

Second, freezing deaths would merit an "investigation" into power companies and their greed, not into EPA policies.

You know exactly how this will be spun by the liberals and media.

Funny.

I was getting some stuff out of storage the other day and got hungry. So I oppened a can of tuna and three bean salad.

Didn’t have to waste time going to a restaurant.

Your post is a little over the top. It conjures up images of fat and happy preppers pushing their canned peaches and sardines across the table while liberals "shiver and freeze" in the cities, waiting for the preppers to come rescue them after which the preppers will get to say "I told you so" while the grateful liberals get down on their knees to admit they were wrong and vow to live a life of conservatism for ever and ever.

Nice little fantasy but it will not play out like that.

The stretch from December 2013 to February 2014 was the “34th coldest such period for the contiguous 48 states as a whole since modern records began in 1895,” reports the Weather Channel.

Let's see now...

34th coldest out of the last - what? - 119 years? Put like that, it doesn't seem so remarkable, now does it?
