…..this was caused by ‘global warming’ too!
Record snowstorm leaves 170,000 without power in Dallas area
The storm that hit the region Thursday dropped 12.5 inches of snow at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in the 24 hours that ended at 4 a.m. That broke the previous 24-hour record of 12.1 inches, set on Jan. 15-16, 1964.
Uh huh. Got it!

yup, warmest winter on record……
in the Sahara desert.
*snicker*
Wonder how much snow they’ve gotten this year? Heh.
for the first time in a year… i’m REALLY REALLY REALLY glad we moved.. lol
Brat, how come your aunt got snow, and y’all didn’t????
Have to say it. This is weather, not climate. You don’t see me pointing to record highs in Vancouver as proof of global warming.
NOAA and the New “Climategate” Scandal
Just thought I’d share that with ya!
D’Aleo and Watt accusations have been soundly refuted. In a nutshell, their concerns seem to stem from their misunderstanding of how and from where data is collected.For an extensive explanation see: http://www.yaleclimatemediaforum.org/2010/01/kusi-noaa-nasa/
The “Chinagate” and “Heat Island” arguements are older claims which have similarly refuted.
Why do they always have to use tiny print on so called science pages. Sheesh!
Anyway, who exactly refuted all the ‘scandals’? Even those bozos at the UN are admitting the data was flawed.
Jim, the climate is changing. We agree on that. It does it 4 times a year in most places. Not much change at the equator, but hey…understandable. There is climate change on Mars too, does that mean we caused it? Pfft! Humans adapt to the climate, if they don’t, they die. The hysteria and grab for power is just a bunch of arrogant asses playing on the fears of the ignorant.
We do NOT control the climate!
As I’ve said before, control, no, but affect, yes. Do you also deny we create acid rain?
Volcanoes.
Among numerous other natural occurring phenomenon.
I’m not saying we can’t have an affect. Personal responsibility comes into play big time for people to clean up their own surroundings. I’m saying we just aren’t that important in the grand scheme of things. Even if there were no humans on the planet at all, there would be a variety of changes going on.
Yup, we had 12.5″ of global warming in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Thursday – an all-time record. Living in ”southern” Texas all my life (Fort Worth is as “north” as I’ve been), I have NEVER seen that much snow!
If anyone doubts that AGW is a sham, I’d suggest that they go over to A.J. Strata’s site, http://strata-sphere.com/blog/ - he does a pretty good job of taking all of the data that has come out and ripping the whole theory to shreds. The data was manipulated to the point that it was unrecognizable – anyone who has ever studied science would agree that the data that was used was severly flawed to begin with.
Anyway, the kids enjoyed the global warming – the snowmen have all melted, and Daughter #2 is jealous that she missed it all, being away at a college that is further south than here (Daughter #1 attends college in New York, so she sees snow all the time – although she did say that she wished she would have been here, as it’s a real novelty in this town!).
Snow envy is an ugly thing. LOL All the years I lived in Dallas, we NEVER had anything more than an inch or two…max.
Has anyone ever seen acid rain? Really? I dont mean pics, either.
Has anyone ever seen ANY of the crap environmentalists say is going on?
You can take one picture of a duck in an oil spill and then try to convince people that all the wildlife is dying, or like how a certain MORON filmed a polar bear and tried to tell us theyre all “drowning”, despite that the polar bear population is twice what it was 20 years ago.

I love how we keep getting record low temps and record snow fall, but simple minded people who cant even look out their window and add 2+2 keep trying to tell us that its “global warming” and were all gonna burn up.
Yeah. Right after that asteroid hits.
Im so sick of hearing from people that cant grasp that were not in a damn Bruce Willis flick, the earth isnt going to burn up or implode, and were going to be just fine.
Theyve been wrong for 30 years, they will CONTINUE to be wrong.
Well, there was a major thing going in Canada with acid rain. Interesting that there quite a large number of forest fires during that time….which by the way, is also a cause of acid rain.
Naturally, the die hards refuse to take into account naturally occurring weather patterns like El Nino and La Nina.
Are the polar bears drowning? All of the commercials I see show these poor, pathetic creatures “stuck” on a tiny little piece of ice – presumably because global “warming” is melting all of the glaciers (chances are most people – myself included – have never seen a glacier, so they have NO IDEA how incredibly huge they are).
We’re supposed to think that the pitiful polar bears will soon have no ice on which to live. I guess we’re also supposed to not realize that polar bears SWIM, and so can get to OTHER ice floes…..
Shhh….you aren’t suppose to know that polar bears can swim. Heh.
Oh for cryin’ outside ShinyBitz. The polar bear population has rebounded because hunting was made illegal (save for a select Inuit cull). And yes, they are currently threatened:
“At the most recent meeting of the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group, scientists reported that of the 19 subpopulations of polar bears, eight are declining, three are stable, one is increasing, and seven have insufficient data on which to base a decision. (The number of declining populations has increased from five at the group’s 2005 meeting.)”
There is a ton of information at the Polar Bear Specialist Group web site if you are so inclined, including a searchable research database.
Or you could just go back to eating your butter noodles and jello.
Butter noodles and jello?
What the hell is wrong with you? Rhetorical question. We can see youre off your rocker.
In one breath you say the polar bear population has rebounded, then you spew the usual garbage about how they are declining. You cant even keep your story straight in one PARAGRAPH, yet you expect people to believe anything you or the liberal animal rights / global warming nutjobs have to say?
Youre a tragic joke, and noones really laughing.
Polar bears dont LIVE on damn ice floes. They swim to them occasionally when theyre hunting, or whatever. Thats like someone putting out the notion that grizzlies LIVE in streams. Absurd.
OB, once again, you HEARD about acid rain in Canada…. you ever SEE any for yourself? I dont even know of anyone who has. Im sure it exists, somewhere, but evironmentalist wackos keep making it sound like the next cloud burst over my house here will be acid rain and we’ll all die, due to MAN and his pollution.
We’re still stuck in that movie script I see. You know, the one where natural disasters start destroying the earth, and Bruce Willis saves us all? And Elton John sings some touching song and we skip into the sunset?
Heh. I wouldn’t mind Bruce Willis saving my over sized behind. I’m married and old, but I ain’t dead…..yet. But leave out Elton John.
Acid rain did do some damage, nature bounced back, and does what it usually does. Heals itself! And there are still factories and humans roaming the planet. Like I said, volcanoes and forest fires.
Sulfur gets into the cloud, falls down in the rain.
You know, arguing with Sh…itz is like playing peekaboo with a baby: no concept of object permanence. “If I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist.”
I was not inconsistent in that PARAGRAPH. Polar bears were hunted to dangerously low levels in the ’50s and ’60s. The hunting ban in the early ’70s allowed the bears to thrive so that by the early ’90s they had filled the artic to near its carrying capacity. Since then, however, environmental conditions have once again pressured the bears, so that many of the subpopulations are in decline.
Juggling several time periods and verb tenses can be difficult, Sh…itz, but just be glad that I didn’t note, that in the ’50′s, prescient observers looking forward would have noted that polar bear populations will have had had been declining for a decade. That is, I believe, future-pluperfect-progressive tense.
And given your obvious agitation, I would repeat my recommendation of soft foods with no utensils.
