But they have plenty of jobs.

And plenty of manly men willing to go out and work those jobs.

Beats the crap out of some metrosexual who can't make heads or tails out of a kitchen sink p trap.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day

He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and works all day

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea

He cuts down trees, eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea

CHORUS

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars

He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars

CHORUS

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I were a girlie
Just like my dear papa

He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspenders and a bra
He wants to be a girlie
Just like his dear papa

CHORUS

He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and works all day

It is possible Walmart sells straw men. Try shopping there.

This isn't a straw man argument.

Climatologists have not suggested that Bismark won't experience -40 weather from time to time.

In fact, they point to cases where the overall warming of earth will disrupt how temperature is distributed - causing some areas to cool while others warm, with only the average being warmer.

And, a warmer earth may well experience more extreme weather events in either direction.

Yes, they did.

Cite please.

So, no one seem to have been able to find a statement from a qualified climate scientist saying that cold snaps like this would never happen again. What an F-ing surprise.

Thank god we pay these Climatologists enough money to become rich. Hopefully we can make the United Nations strong militarily so they can begin to detain and arrest the far right extremists who constantly disrupt the quest for Socialist Utopia.

I know of no rich climatologists.

As for the rest, denying science on the grounds that it might inspire distasteful political responses is really pathetic.

Holy shit! That's freeze your nose hairs cold!


As of Wednesday afternoon, the Minnesota Department of Transportation reported difficult driving conditions on multiple highways due to snow-covered and slippery roads around Minneapolis. These hazardous roads include US-10 and I-94 in both directions, as well as on MN-15.

A crash also occurred on I-90 westbound between MN 91 and exit 33 during the late afternoon hours, causing slow traffic. At the time of the crash driving conditions were classified as difficult due to packed snow on the roadway.

Air travel is also being impacted as FlightStats reports excessive delays at Denver and Minneapolis-St. Paul airports.

AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures will become dangerously low during and after the storm, plummeting to between 30 to 40 below zero on Wednesday night through Thursday night.

Lots of spin outs and crashes in our neck of the woods. I'm just gonna say it again; I am SO very grateful to work at home.

This is standard for Minnesota anytime from Halloween through early May.

Even the incredibly cold days sometimes make an appearance well into the spring.

I bet your do not know a lot of people, I guess there are none if you do not know them.

And I agree, it may be distasteful to start arresting the Right Wing Extremists for denying science, but it would be pathetic not to.

Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past

However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

Predictably, the voices of denial are rising as Arctic sea ice melt season peaks and ranks only fifth-lowest ever. The clamor is being raised over Al Gore's Nobel Prize acceptance speech quote supposedly saying that Arctic sea ice would be gone by 2013.1 What Gore did or didn't say is beside the point: For the propagandists delivering this message, the objective is "cast doubt and discredit." From Gore's speech:
Last September 21 (2007), as the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, scientists reported with unprecedented distress that the North Polar ice cap is "falling off a cliff." One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study, to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week, warns it could happen in as little as 7 years.2

Dayum. That is COLD!!

It is cold here too. We aren't used to this weather in my neck of the woods. BRRRRRR

Yeah.....so what???....it's cold in North Dakota in December.....woooeeee.....big surprise.....are you still completely in the dark about the difference between weather and climate, walleyed? Are you still stupidly and futilely pointing at cold weather events in some place in the winter and imagining that they somehow negate all of the evidence that globally the planet is still heating up? You are such an ignorant clueless denier cult troll!

Moreover, there are a number of studies that indicate that the extreme winter weather events that have happened in the northern hemisphere in the last decade or so are the result of the extreme decline in Arctic ice and the effect of that ice loss on the jet stream.

Warming Arctic Fueling Cold, Snowy Winters, Study Says
ClimateCentral
By Andrew Freedman
February 27th, 2012
(excerpts)
The blockbuster snowstorms and frigid temperatures seen in much of the northern hemisphere during the past few winters are in part the result of global warming-related Arctic sea ice loss, according to a new study published Monday. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, finds clear links between the precipitous decline of Arctic sea ice and severe winter weather in Europe, Asia, and parts of the U.S. during the past several years. The study adds to the growing body of evidence pointing to the widespread ramifications of melting Arctic sea ice, proving that what’s happening in the Far North is not just a concern for polar bears anymore. This study is the first to take a comprehensive look at how Arctic sea ice loss is changing the odds of unusually heavy snows in the Midwest and eastern U.S., as well as parts of Europe and Asia. Using a combination of observational data and computer model simulations, the group of researchers from Georgia Tech, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Columbia University, found that sea ice loss -- particularly the decline in fall sea ice cover -- affects winter weather in the northern hemisphere through a complex series of interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere.

The Arctic has been warming at about twice the rate of the rest of the globe, a trend studies show is largely due to manmade climate change. Fall sea ice cover declined by 27 percent between 1979-2010, and the five lowest sea ice extent years have all occurred during the past five years. The chain of events begins during the summer sea ice melt season, when above average air temperatures and warmer waters melt highly reflective sea ice, revealing the darker ocean waters. These waters absorb much more incoming solar radiation, which increases water temperatures. This boost in water temperatures melts more sea ice, and slows the growth of new ice cover during the fall. The warm, ice-free ocean water allows more heat and moisture to be added to the atmosphere during the fall and winter, which can alter weather patterns in favor of a “wavier” jet stream that makes more frequent dives southward, dragging Arctic air and moisture with it. According to the study, the end result of all this is that there are increased chances of heavy snowstorms and cold air outbreaks in the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S., as well as Europe and parts of Asia. A key implication of the study is that if sea ice loss continues apace, there may be more cold and snowy winters in store for these areas.

Seems kind of rude to put a quote entirely in bold

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Ain't Global Warming a bitch!

I was thinking the same thing, maybe it took a vacation

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Dayum. That is COLD!!

It is cold here too. We aren't used to this weather in my neck of the woods. BRRRRRR

because of global warming weather will be cooler now, blah blah blah blah something like that.

I gave you one. Go look up David Viner and his (now famous) "children won't know what snow is" comment...

Oh hell, here it is....you're too stupid to find it yourself so it took me all of two seconds...

Knock yourself out...


"Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community. Average temperatures in Britain were nearly 0.6°C higher in the Nineties than in 1960-90, and it is estimated that they will increase by 0.2C every decade over the coming century. Eight of the 10 hottest years on record occurred in the Nineties.

However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said."

He was correct. This is rare and you are all quite excited about it.

Yesterday, December 4, as I stood in my back yard here in Mid Coast Maine -- the sun on my face wearing only in a light jacket -- I wondered if WINTER is coming this year.

Today we can expect highs of 45 with a chance of rain.


The average temp for this place onthis date is about 35 degrees.

How much of a sack smash is this for the k00ks?

I always laugh my balls off when a thread like this goes up because the AGW nutters fall all over themselves trying to prop up the established narrative.......like watching the Wizard of Oz after he fucks up behind the curtain.
