6 inches of snow on April 24 - then five sub-zero nights

[Braveheart]

1968 Cougar with 302 high performance then for true gas guzzling, a 1969 Barracuda with a 340 six pack, 4 speed Hurst.

Both needed rings and burned almost as much oil as gas.

Settled down car was a 74 Olds Cutlass with 350 4 bbl, dual exhaust. But the pollution police had already ruined cars by then.

Its just evidence that the carbon tax is working.

Does cold weather disprove global warming?

A local cold day has nothing to do with the long-term trend of increasing global temperatures.

It's freaking cold!
It's easy to confuse current weather events with long-term climate trends, and hard to understand the difference between weather and climate. It's a bit like being at the beach, trying to figure out if the tide is rising or falling just by watching individual waves roll in and out. The slow change of the tide is masked by the constant churning of the waves.

In a similar way, the normal ups and downs of weather make it hard to see slow changes in climate. To find climate trends you need to look at how weather is changing over a longer time span. Looking at high and low temperature data from recent decades shows that new record highs occur nearly twice as often as new record lows.

New records for cold weather will continue to be set, but global warming's gradual influence will make them increasingly rare.

Right on que, just like I promised, we have the pronouncement that cold is weather, warm is climate... thanks Chuck.

They read right from Reverend Gore and St. Suzuki handbooks.

[chuckChuck]

The real problem is perhaps you guys are too stupid to understand the difference!

[furrowtickler]

Here is the climate scientist feeding the info to experts like Al Gore and Susuki...

That was a bit uncalled for chuckchuck.

Cycles within cycles within cycles. .......

Trend within thrends within trends. ......

Micro being affected by macro being affected by mega macro and visa versa ....

All I know there is a lot more that I don't know than what I do know.

Lots of science and thought "cast in stone facts" have been found to be wrong. I'm not going to argue with either side of the debate on this one. But never forget for some zealots money is as big a motivator as ideology.

This is just a story from one of the area history books. A family showed up from Ontario on a cold February day in 1910 but spring came early that year. The garden was planted on March 10 and that summer and fall a rich harvest of vegetables and potatoes was gathered in even lots of water melons and musk melons. They say they know the date is right because it was their Mothers Birthday.

This is in NE Sask where we hardly ever start seeding before the 5th of May and most gardens get seeded on the Victoria May long weekend!

What do you think Chucky? According the IPCC that is before humans started messing up climate.

Can you imagine if that happened now.

So Chuck now we're stupid? Nobody agrees with you so we are stupid? Here is a question for you. Recently most media outlets posted pictures of former president Obama taking pictures of his wife on the 138 meter yacht The Rising Sun. He was on the yacht with Bruce Springsteen, Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey. For years he has preached to us about climate change as have his Hollywood cohorts. Does this show you that he is changing the way he lives out of his great concern for the environment?
