By the way, HERE is your global warming, morans!
In Ohio, in the last week of freakin' December, it's going to be in the mid-40's and low-50's all week and this weekend. It is the most pleasant "spring" day outside right now.

I feel like calling up every RWer who said to me when it was so cold last winter "so, it's reallly cold... we could use some of that global warming. Hyuck!" HERE it is, moran.

This is NOT normal folks. :WTF:

1. actually
global 'warming' doesn't really constitute 'warming' per se. there is more evidence of global warming in this year's (and next) hurricane season than our (so far) fairly mild winter (same here in Boston this week)

but i digress...

3. They say that global warming will make Britain colder
which sounds just like Britain to me. :)

Something to do with the gulf stream shutting down, or something.

5. I know... it's not necessarily WARMING...
It's "climate fucked-upedness" but they won't print that in Time Magazine.

The warm areas get cold, the cold areas get warm, the wet gets dry, the frozen thaws...

It's just that the moran notion that it would be better if the globe WAS warmer that's a pet peeve. And they all make that stupid statement when the weather gets cold.

4. It is weird to have 40-50 degrees here in Ohio
Allergies are awful too. To use one of my southernisms - It just ain't right.

7. Not to be a dick but
It isn't a really rare thing for us to get these temperatures. The record high for today was 1982 and yesterday's was 1936, tomorrow's record high was in 1889.
I'm not trying to discount global warming it's just that by saying "it is a bit warmer than I am used to in December" isn't really strong evidence.

8. Oh, I know...
Again, I realize it's just a matter of a couple degrees and very subtle. The peeve is more rooted in the cold days when morans say "gee, where's the global warming? I'm cold now!" as if it's a good thing.

Ah, nevermind.

9. Travellers face chaos as freeze hits Europe


Freezing conditions across parts of northern Europe caused travel chaos today as forecasters warned that more snow and colder temperatures were expected over the next two days.

British motoring organisations urged people only to make essential journeys, while hundreds of drivers in France spent the night in their cars after 30cm of snow fell in parts the country.

In Austria, a blizzard resulted in power cuts to homes and was blamed for numerous road accidents across eastern parts of the country.
