There really is no reason to accept this notion of global warming.

[leeroysphitz]

That is why I just mowed my lawn (which still growing BTW) in a short sleeve T-shirt, in Michigan,
4 days before Thanksgiving day. Did I mention that I'm in MICHIGAN?

Anecdotal, I know, but damn.

1. I, too, am tired of this notion of global warming...

and of mowing my NW PA lawn in late November.

[Delphinus]

2. That's pretty sad.

We should be enjoying snow, don't you think? I'm not far from you, NE Indiana.

[glarius]

3. We in southern Ontario (Niagara Falls area) have not had snow

or frost yet. I live in a town in southern Ontario and we have been having days when you could go outside without a jacket. It's amazing. I don't remember such a late first snowfall.

[leeroysphitz]

4. Canada? Wow.

Exhibit A.

[glarius]

26. Actually in most of southern Canada we have winters similar to Chicago

or Detroit....We are not the north pole, as is portrayed in most of the American media...LOL
...but this winter is really out of the ordinary!

5. I was gonna play golf tomorrow until my kid got sick

Heck I would have gone today if everyone in the house, myself excluded, was not sick.

6. For one of the first times I can recall

I'm glad it's relatively mellow outside. Considering the pitiful amount of oil we're getting from LIHEAP (aka Fuel Assistance), I would freese otherwise.

It's sad when you think about the poor people in this country, and all those who have no problem with denying and restricting an acceptable amount of services to those without.

7. As always, I sympathize vfor those going through the hard times but

I honestly miss real winters and I wonder what will become of the specie that evolved a dependance on the summer/winter cycle.

8. winter was extremely late here in montana, it was creepy

definitely here now though!

[immoderate]

9. Winter has set in early here in South Florida.

Air conditioning season ended two weeks ago. Last year, it went into December. I have already worn long sleeves and pants when I didn't have to. Even socks!

Seriously though, weather, I'm sure you understand, is not the same as climate. Last winter, brutal through our Midwest, was touted as evidence by climate deniers. They didn't acknowledge record warm temps in Canada at the same time.

24. exactly. It works BOTH ways

It is just as silly to use anecdotal local warmth examples as proof (or to be more restrained - evidence) of global warming as it was for the deniers to use the cold examples as proof (or to be more restrained - evidence) AGAINST it. In other words, it's the EXACT same thing the deniers did last year. I could cut the irony with a fork.

10. It got down to 12 degrees here in MN last night...

with wind chills in the negative digits. It's the same as it always has been here in Minnesota.

[Radical Activist]

11. Nashville should get ready for another big flood.

It's only a matter of time. This is what scientists told us would happen, and yet both Tennessee Senators continue to oppose climate change legislation.

[Occam Bandage]

12. Unseasonably warm days are no more proof of global warming

than unseasonably cold days are refutations of it. Global warming, at its worst, is going to be several degrees over several decades, and the effects will be on the scale of continents, not on the scale of cities.

[Subdivisions]

14. Really?

We did not know that.

[kestrel91316]

15. Wrong. Global warming leads to destabilization of the climate,

and consequently worse extremes, more weird weather, more records of all sorts being broken.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. +1000

[leeroysphitz]

27. Then change the name to Global Climate destabilization.

Because I'm tired of believing my own eyes and seeing the winters where I live getting warmer and warmer every year.

[leeroysphitz]

17. Of course we know this, which is why this post was made tongue in cheek.

Only Repblicans think that N of 1 = Good science. I was really just commenting on this crazy weather...

[Subdivisions]

13. Yep. 80 degrees here in north Texas today. Had to put on the AC

because it got too warm in the house.

Also, trees are going from green to leaf fall with hardly any color change at all. Grass is still growing and some flowers are blooming or in full bloom.

[walldude]

16. Pointless..

In the past week I have been in Nashville, Rochester NY, Little Rock and Tulsa. The coldest place was Little Rock. Which is also the most southern city I was in.

This is about as clever as the freepers saying there is no global warming because it's cold where they live.

[leeroysphitz]

18. Please refer to post #17. or the OP for that matter.

Unlike conservatives liberals are allowed a sense of humor.

[walldude]

20. Well when you say something funny let me know...

:rofl: j/k :) :toast:

[leeroysphitz]

22. LOL.

When you quit being an obnoxious douchebag, you let ME know.

[madinmaryland]

19. Thanks for pouring more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

:mad:

[leeroysphitz]

23. I use a properly maintained push mower.

Fuck you.

[we can do it]

25. I was Out In a TShirt In Northern Ohio, Driving with the Windows Down
