Support Global Warming

It's official. Bob is now strongly supporting Global Warming. The average temperatures across the earth have gone down every years since 1998. This year, 2008, is the coldest year in a decade. Last year we had the 2nd most annual snowfall ever recorded in this area. The previous record was set almost a century ago, and we were within less than 1 inch of the record total. Well, we said, how bad can it be next year. How bad? Its worse. The all time record here for the most snow in 24 hours was 13 inches. On Wednsday into Thursday we had 19 ½ inches of snow, and then it snowed more all day Thursday, and again Thursday night. We selected this location after reviewing weather records which showed that 6 inches of snow was commonly the most extreme weather event of the year. The average daytime temperatures are said to be above freezing so the few inches of snow melts off, or so that has been the experience over the past century.

Are 20th century warm period records for cold and snow applicable going forward into the 21st century? Not last year. Not this year. We have 30 inches in our driveway. Bob shoveled snow all day yesterday, and all day today, and it will take a couple more days of shoveling to get a car out to the county road. Where is the D-6 Cat when you need one.

It not just here. Its been snowing in London in November. Its been snowing in New Orleans. Northern sea ice reached all the way south to Iceland for the first time in living memory, and polar bears came ashore to harass the Icelanders. The Canadian seal hunt fleet got caught and stuck in an ice flow for the first time ever, and even their “ice breaker” ship sent to rescue the seal hunters got iced in. Temperatures are dropping and ice is expanding all across the earth.

Bob is now officially supporting Global Warming. We need a few more degrees. We need more warming. A recent article in the London Daily Mail reported scientific theory that CO2 greenhouse gas has been delaying the onset of a coming natural cold cycle, sometimes called a “little ice age.” We've been experiencing declining global temperatures ever since the mindless left wingnuts started whining about “Global Warming.” They are cutting back on CO2 emissions and perpetuating cold.

Support Global Warming!
Burn those hydrocarbons. Build thouse greenhouse gasses.

Update: December 20, 2008

The local all time record cold for this date is in the books as -6F. Right now it's -12F. [Bob learned later that the offical overnight low was a frigid -18.]
