...Why are we getting some of the coldest temperatures in Saudi Arabia and why the western USA has some of the deepest snowpacks in quite some time? (wagging fingers)

We have to get news of this from a Russian news outlet?? For shame, American msm!

All I have after seeing these reports are countless questions not being answered by the AGW crowd...who are sitting silent while scanning the planet for some region with record highs to point the finger at.

I wonder if we can take a look at the models these AGW people used to see if they predicted snow in this region? How come every time the weather supports the global warming theories they claim it is proof and every time it doesnt they say that data point is just a outlier? I continue to see the data correction ignored that shows the warmest climate period was in the 1930's instead insisting the warmest year was 1998...so were there periods of snow in Saudi Arabia during the 1930's? Is it even possible to have snow in Iraq and Saudi Arabia and still be in a state of unstoppable global warming? In Colorado snowpack is at all time highs, as well, so is global warming going to result in more precipitation or less?-no one seems to be able to answer that. If it ends up that our planet is instead heading into a mini-ice age that no one prepared for... are these people going to be held accountable for the deaths that result from not preparing for it. Holding back third world countries from developing the infrastructure to provide warmth and shelter for their populations in the name of global warming could result in a large deathtoll- has anyone considered that? Will anyone have the guts to bring those responsible before the world court for judgement if that ends up being the case? (tongue in cheek here)

This will no doubt roll eyes, but while people look at the global warming scam my attention is more to the mystic side of Islam which bin Laden adheres to and I see this snow as a sign or omen.

I view this in the context that Bhutto was assassinated in the region as a precursor sign.
I view the Iranians trying to get America to blow up some suicide speedboats absolutely fail in their attempt.

I view that President Bush had what would be deemed good weather in the Israeli state, but the entire Arab states have been covered in an unseasonable snow and cold.

That in omens or signs means the "Middle East Peace" portends to not be a positive thing for their regimes even though they have been pushing this thing.
There is going to be bad fallout in the region from this, perhaps war as the weather appears so glowering.

From my perspective it is sad, as I so enjoy the monarchies there.......loved the photo of the President pictured with an Arab head of state with a hunting hawk. The world needs gentry like this to keep the groundwork of the past alive in their breeding of horses, hunting dogs and the hawk.

The wise men of the east see all this and I know bin Laden does as in my profiling him, he is quite poetic and mystical as the old Islamic mystics. Time will prove what is to be correct.

With information so readily available worldwide, and so many people having access to both sides of the story, the global warming/climate change hysterics do not have the traction they need.  In the long run (which ain't all that long, nowadays) people will continue to see more and more how biased the MSM coverage is, and will look for - AND FIND - the truth about claims of man's ability to affect the climate, one way or the other. 

If humans or Al had control of the worlds thermostat, what temperature would they set it at?

If only certain places are good and others are bad. The Attic and Antarctica are minus 100 C to lock all the ice and stop sea level rise but not start sea level decline. There are no deserts any where. But no floods in the now tropical death valley and Arabian Desert in Saudi. No snow anywhere south of the Attic circle but, plenty of water in the rives fed by glaciers and spring melt like the Mississippi but not too much water to cause floods. Good Climate Change is unattainable and can not be manifested. What great new enemy that is created by changing the name from AGW to ACC (Anthropogenic Climate Change)

Being here in Riyadh, I can tell you that it's been pretty damn cold.

George Bush was in Riyadh this week, too. Hmmmmmm.

Did W bring Karl Rove's weather machine with him?  Maybe to teach the Saudis a lesson about who's REALLY in charge of things?

I'm surprised that this cold weather here hasn't been labeled as Bush's fault - everything else is! 

Anyone here notice that "Global Warming" is being shamelessly replaced by the term "Climate Change?"  Now that Mother Earth's temperature has slowly stopped cooperating with the Hard Left's political agenda, every episode of unusual weather becomes a candidate for man made catastrophe.  Heads they win, tails we lose.  We need a political slogan of our own.  I nominate this counterpunch:

"Give It Back, Al."         

OK, here's a refresher...In the 70's all the "expert" climatologist were predicting a new worldwide mini ice-age. Glacial build up, snowstorms, I take it the whole nine yards. I believed them then. Now since then, I have done my damndest to heat whatever part of the world I could with bigger vehicles, motorcycles, boats and so on. (I did quit smoking however) to keep the world from freezing up. And what thanks do I get??

Oh Rex, the world is going to be a desert, were killing the trees, were going to flood out, and on and on. Well damn it! I've done what I can, I'm getting older now, let the young'uns carry on where I left off. I'm tired.
