    So here's a recap: they wanted it to be an ice age, they have it.

    After the biggest snow storm ever recorded in the usa, another is on the way. It will be probably just a touch less severe.

    But, it might also be just as strong as the one yesterday...

    Go snowman!!!

    The funny thing I liked, the people accused some mayor of some city for the storm...

    The guy said only: it's a storm. Its' life. Keep going..."

    Looked quite flabergasted by the accusations.

    Serves you right punk! If you had them all complete at least elemetary school instead of sitting at home all day and stuffing themselves with mccrap and coca (as in gas drink), maybe they would have known better than to blame you for the snow storm.

    There was global warming, due to solar cycle, but now there is global cooling, also due to solar cycle. There will be GW again, but as before, it will not be anthropogenic.

    we can change the geography, reroute rivers, move mountains, fish the oceans to near depletion, cut down entire forests, drive entire species to extinction, extract carbon that it took nature millions of years to sequester in a hundred years but fortunately we can't influence the climate

    Yet one little aids virus can destroy us all. Who's side are you on, anyway? Nature is conflict; tooth and claw, survival of the fittest. History belongs to those who show up.

    that's the simple answer

    nature is neutral all nature does is balance the equation

    we have the ability to tip that balance to be unfavorable to us and be a new balance

    the atmosphere of venus is in balance but you wouldn't want to live there

    did I mention storms would become more sever due to the increased temperature gradient

    hottest year on record = biggest snow storm on record
    now aint that a coincidence

    millions of square miles of ocean raised a couple degrees can.t have that much effect

    sorta like increasing sail area to take advantage of wind speed

    more sail the more energy transfer for a given wind speed

    Global warming is ended. Global cooling isn't anthropogenic either.

    there is a 97% agreement that global warming is happening and that it is caused by man, there is no evidence to suggest its going to suddenly begin cooling any time soon
