Global warming is a good thing. At least it has been since the last ice age, and now we have a lot of arable land, sea routes, forests, green grass, all kinds of farms, fisheries, and cities all over the place. We have power plants generating the electricity we use to post in this and other forums, extract the mineral and oils needed for these power plants. Extract/produce oil to run our modes of transportation, or just to fly to to the moon (NASA, the Russians, Chinese, etc.)., and don't have to drill through a layer of ice hundreds of feet thick

What will be real hard for us is enduring a global cooling followed by an ice age, which is certain to come.

The weather has surely changed in the Midwest. LOTS more precipitation than we used to get, and temps in winter are mild
Odanny, I agree with you spot on here.

It rained and rained and rained all last night and today. But where is the snow?

I agree. Lately, I have noticed that over the last few years, Winter is being moved over. It used to start snowing in November and end in Jan/Feb. Now it STARTS in Jan/Feb and ends in April may here.

For those whining about not having snow: Are those of us experiencing the blizzard supposed to have "white guilt" for having snow on Christmas?

This kind of "white guilt" may have curative effects to climate guilt.

You must have forgot - the believers don't ask ANY questions, stupid or not.

We all know what the believers would be saying if by some miracle we had a snowless winter.

According to NOAA, 2/3 of the nation has snow, which would include Michigan. Maybe in your little bubble of the world, it just is not happening.

Looks like its coming your way - better go hide;
