Now THAT's Political!! :roflblack:

But my statement still stands, and there are at least three Moderators in here right now...
Somebody should step up to the plate, and explain their decision.
Or change it...

Imagine that... Are we going back to the stories from 40 years ago, that foretold of global cooling? :dontknow:

It's obvious what the answer is after reading the quote above. Burning natural gas releases a lot of CO2 with little other pollution causing the climate to warm. Burning coal releases a lot of pollution that causes the climate to cool. We just need to burn the right proportion of each and the climate will stay stabilized! :roflblack: hyea:

It has been suggested that we let this thread run some more. :bowdown:

 

[Bob Denman]

Just in time for our temperatures to start dropping again. :banghead:
We'll be back down near zero: for Wednesday & Thursday.
Next week: Upper forties have been forecast.

3 Years ago I was taking my first ride on my then new to me spyder (though it snowed later) and this year I peek out my office door and see.....

Global cooling would be worse. We can adapt to the coastlines flooding easier than cities buried in one mile of ice. I do remember much more snow in the 70's.

You were MUCH shorter 40 years ago: the snow just seemed to be deeper... :roflblack:

Still plenty of snow here in NW Iowa. Just came in from running the snowblower to remove snow that blew into the drive last night. Sub zero this morning. Temps have been well below average so far. More snow than we have had in awhile. Snowmobilers are very happy. It looks like it will be early April before things improve enough to ride.

Sure doesn't bode well for the people along the Mississippi when it starts melting. It's already at flood stage at New Orleans. The Bonnet Carrie Spillway is open to move water into Lake Pontchartrain, and there's talk of opening up the Morganza Spillway. The latter would flood thousands of acres of farm and suburban ground in Louisiana.

Mother Nature sure has given the lower 48 a ride this year. And now, we have tornado season upon us.

One of the first things we will do if we move, will be to put in a tornado shelter if there is not one already.

Next atmospheric river has made its start here too, rain 3 of the next 5 days. Don’t know what it will be like by the time it gets to the Midwest and east. 3 years ago the reservoirs were so low that houseboats were beached and there was a fire sale on the things. The ring around Lake Shasta and every other reservoir was 30 feet high. I should have bought a weekender houseboat when I had the chance!

Well, it may be because I was a kid and had to shovel the driveway

After a taste of what minus two degrees is like (this morning): it's finally supposed to start warming up! :yes:

 

[Deanna777]

Well here in Vermont we still have a lot of snow on the ground( roughly 2 feet in the valleys, and more in the mountains) with ice underneath the snow. The skiers and snowmobilers are in there glory.
Now it is lightly snowing. Also the maple sugar season has not started yet.

So and this weekend an other messy storm coming in the temps in the 30's/ 40's and rain. Next week it will start to warm up! :yes:

Oh old man winter is really throwing us a curve here in the northeast.
Last year at this time I was racking some of my lawn.


Also I have 5 weeks until my spyder is out of hibernation, I hope by then the White Gold ( snow) will be gone :gaah:

Well, today it's 50F. Still can't ride till the salt is off the road. I hope my sentence will be reprieved some time next week.

 

[Lew L]

Snowing at my house NOW. But I had the :spyder2: out earlier------ ECU flash is great.

We also have plenty of snow here in Vermont. This week the temps in the 40's and 50's, rain. Same here the snowmobilers are happy here also. The temp is 30 and cloudy. Deanna
