While you all are freezing your keesters off back east....we are having the year without a winter out West.

Bears can't sleep, so I guess the hoaxers must be out shooting them with bb guns or something....

Sierra's bears wide-awake during warm winter - SFGate


Those hoaxers are also out blow drying the vegetation...just to scare people....

As California Burns, Hot Dry Weather Predicted For Entirety of "Winter"


This is pretty alarming frankly, but nothing unusual to see here, so move along....

Your local weather (hot or cold) has very little to do with rising global temperature averages.

IE-dont fall into the mistake of justifying your global warming view based on the current weather. Global warming is neither confirmed nor denied by it.

What DOES matter is the global averages which are going up year after year.

We might luck out and get some cooler temps if the solar activity drops for a while, or if we had a couple small nuclear wars for example....wouldn't change the inevitable return to averages which is increasingly looking pessimistic.

Our only real hope long term is technology-which im pretty optimistic about.

I have seen a number of geese and birds in the northeast that probably shouldn't be here yet, also the squirrels have been out and about when they should all still be hibernating.

Ask the folks who died from the plague if they "lucked out" for those few cold years. Just amazing how lost the warmers really are............just lost.

How does one exactly ask someone that died from the plague anything...not to mention that have been dead 800 years.

Sure, but most of the conservative posters here are from the Midwest and Southeast. Just letting them know that along with the record breaking cold, there has been record breaking warmth and drought out west. All this seems to align (but not prove) the ideas of this climate researcher:

Dont encourage stupid. Seriously, you KNOW its wrong....dont encourage them.

Look at some of the responses they're all happy that someone suddenly thinks local weather is relevant. Sigh.

Did you watch the video?

Actually, increased variability (hot and cold) in the midlatitudes is predicted by Arctic warming effects on the jet stream amplitude and migration patterns. So along with warming global temps, stagnant and highly varied midlatitude patterns may be becoming the new normal. If so, it is a huge deal, and happening right now.
