As I type this from my outdoor bistro seating area, in OHIO, on January 31st, as it is 61 degrees... Yep, sounds about right...
That whole Global Warming Thing is such a joke...

I know, I know. Just like when I went diving last summer and they said over 50% of the reef, that had been around for thousands of years mind you, was now bleached from the rapid warming of the ocean that has happened in the past 30 years. I'm sure that's just another one of those things that just happen naturally!

It is ridiculous weather. I have snowmobiled twice in Michigan this year. Last weekend it was 30 degrees in the UP and snow was extremely scarce. It's barely worth owning a snowmobile. Not a good winter for a snow plower.

My thing about Global Warming, is that I could really care less about the actual effects, I just think it's funny that some people don't want to admit it's a real thing for political reasons. I almost guarantee that if it made NO difference on environmental law, people would be whistling a much different tune...

I am kinda with you on not really caring about the effects other than the lack of snow for my hobbies. Other than that we are not effected much in the Midwest. I think people being effected by the large increase in natural disasters may say differently. I don't claim to be overly educated in any of this stuff but pay attention enough to see that the collateral damage from these disasters seems to be at an all time high during my lifetime.

Let's say, global warming is real, for the sake of discussion. Even the worst case scenarios they are talking about in 1.5°-2.5°F average. That would not account for days where we have 20° higher temps. There was a history channel show about a strange weather incident that took place in the early 1900's in Nebraska, when a Chinook wind brought in temperatures in January that reached the mid-70's. People went out picnicking and generally being stupid and not taking jackets. In a matter of a couple hours in the afternoon, the temperature dropped by nearly 100°. Several dozen people died from hypothermia and exposure before they could get back to shelter. We've set several warm and cold records this year in Arizona-a nice change from the brutal cold of the previous 3 years constant record/near-record cold. Weird weather has always happened, and will always happen.

I am not completely sold on global warming drastically changing the world. All I know is that Michigan has not had a winter with constant snow for a few years now. A white Christmas has not been a given for a while now. I do also think that Al gore can simmer down about global warming and the manbearpig (south park reference for those of you wondering).

Its been around the upper 60s and 70s every day this winter in Louisiana. A couple of times it got up to the upper 70s and one day it was the low 80s. Hot as heck down here. It's probably going to average over 105 for the highs all this summer.
I don't put stock in global warming. 40 years ago everyone was upset over global cooling. Whatever happens, the human race has to adapt and I still have to work to put food on the table.

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.
The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.

Again, you're not going to be able to make an accurate assessment of global warming from your porch in Ohio.

Copy that page and save it to your hard drive. The lefties in the news media will erase it and lefty scientists will deny it in 3 months.

Talk about an inconvenient truth, right?
