Another sign of "global warming" popped up today. It SNOWED in Boone, NORTH CAROLINA today! How strange is that?

90° in Montana today.
Yep, fall in North America. The "Gales of November" have hit the Great Lakes in October too.
Got a kick of watching "fools" on the Weather Channel today. Most people of average intelligence have enough sense to know that when the wind blows hard across water it creates waves. When it is an onshore wind those waves hit land. Common sense, eh? WELL, NOT in Chicago. The video showed joggers and bike riders getting NUKED by 20' waves blown in by 30MPH+ winds off Lake Michigan. They had to close that "path" so people would not get hurt by the wave action? Why in the world would they HAVE to do that? How stupid can a person get? Protecting people from the "Darwin effect" is NOT working.

nows thats funny I dont care who you are
Yepper, sure was!
Its appalling isn't it// I know from a reliable source that Al Gore has been emitting green gas from some part of his anatomy and killing the ice fields. I think fox news said that.
Ice melts. Always has. There have been periods without ice and at least one period when the entire globe was frozen solid. This "warming period" started about 15,000 years ago with a brief break during the "mini" ice age. The circle continues. Nothing new under the sun.
It was not all that long ago, "G" time speaking, that all of Canada and a good bit of the US was under massive ice sheets. That is what is STILL melting now. Then, sometime in the future it will all freeze back up.

Yep..that is what I've read...been here before at least the earth has....even before man could be blamed for it....
Turtle and I were talking the other day about evolution...and the possum came up..when I was a kid they were non existent in S. Ontario...now they are all over the place AND they have adapted a winter coat....amazing to watch evolution at work...
It is amazing to watch. People tend to "panic" a LOT these days. They forget two very important facts. ONE: man is a short lived animal. TWO: The ONLY thing that never changes on earth is the fact the EVERYTHING is constantly changing.
Man is a "self centered" creature. We tend to believe that because we are here and because things are as they are, that they are not going to change. That somehow things like plate movement ceased.
Yeah, we MAY be affecting global weather patterns, then again, we may NOT be.
Well in the big picture..it does not really matter....in 2 billion yrs, give or take....it is all over...when our sun goes supernova....it is game over....
Yeah, I hope my truck is paid off before then.
I was thinking you might breakdown and buy a NEW one (El Jo Jo Cheapo)..before the big bang.....LOL
This one has a LONG way to go before I decide IF I am going to get another. I can tell you one thing, IF I get another truck it will NOT be a Freightliner. I REALLY don't want to deal with their "STUFF" for any longer than I have too. Between the shoddy workmanship, junk parts and almost total lack of interest in customer service, well, what can I say that won't get me a warning?
On top of that, I don't know if my age or health will allow for another truck in 5 years or so.
I need to hit the lottery, sure wish someone would be me the winning ticket!

And Alaska was once perpetually green and tropical. Who's to say (Al Gore, call your orifice) that that's not normal and it shouldn't be that way again?
