Are those combustibles, potables, and sharp objects still in a safe place? Good, because the Silly Saturday Snowstorm Stories continue.
As reported Saturday morning by the Associated Press (emphasis added):
WILMINGTON, N.Y. -- Skiers unfurled a protest banner in April snow on Whiteface Mountain on Saturday to kick off a nationwide day of demonstrations aimed at drawing attention to global warming.
The skiers fear long-term temperature increases promise trouble for native plants, wildlife and people in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York state.
Why is this funny? Well, because a massive snowstorm is heading directly to this area threatening to drop more of the white stuff ever seen in this part of the country in April. (Update: Winter storm warning issued for Wilmington, NY.) As reported by AccuWeather (emphasis added):
The Northeast looks good for snow later Saturday night into Sunday and Sunday night. Snow will develop along and ahead of a storm that will be coined as a classic nor'easter. An April snowstorm is not an unheard of event, but usually to get a foot of snow it takes a very special situation to dump that amount. This storm certainly has all of the classic markers. There is cold enough air near the focus of the storm, it is deepening and moving in during the night Saturday and strengthening later Saturday night into Sunday and moisture will continue to wrap westward as the storm really bombs out at the East Coast and moves northeastward. Right now, the storm looks to be most potent over northern Pennsylvania into interior New York and northward to New England. Some places are likely to get 2 feet of snow by the time Monday morning rolls in. Even snowfall up to a foot could fall across northern Pennsylvania and southern New York. This storm, of course, will probably break several snowfall records for the date in a few places.
Of course, Laurie David, the producer of Al Gore’s schlockumentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” will be telling college students she meets on her “Stop Global Warming” tour that this snowstorm is just another example of global warming.
The truly sad part is that she believes it, as do most of the alarmists in the media and around the country. After all, for them, if you say, "Snowstorm," they say, "Global warming."
Let's call the whole thing off. </Gershwin melody>

April 14, 2007 - 13:46 ET by Sick-n-TiredNoel,
I wonder if Penn and Teller will be at these rallies, convincing these "the sky is falling boobs" to sign their petition against the ever dangerous di-hydrogen oxide?! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3erdgVVTw)
With all of these rallies going on, I am guessing you are going to be quite busy the next few days huh? I will wait to return my coffee, letter opener, pens, combustibles etc. back to my desk until next week.
And to the trolls: di-hydrogen oxide is good ol' water; H2O----of course which is a GHG....maybe we should sign the petition?

April 14, 2007 - 17:16 ET by nkviking75CWG, you're probably wrong about those pool heaters. After all, blubber is how whales keep warm in the Arctic Ocean.

The last line is hilarious!
"Locke points out that the rallies are on the 95th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, which struck an iceberg near Newfoundland.
"They didn't see it coming, the tragedy," she said. "But we do."
All I see is big brown turd of junk science floating in a sea of stupidity! Truly a tragedy...
This paragraph is also funny:
April 14, 2007 - 17:25 ET by Seabeach4348This paragraph is also funny:
"...Scientists and environmentalists warn that global warming could change the character of Michigan: LOWERING water levels and raising water temperatures, altering the kinds of crops that will grow and leading to new invasive species..."
Personally I consider environmentalists an "invasive species" and I thought that water levels were supposed to rise, not fall, putting New York and Miami underwater, according to Algore's carefully researched models.
Don't you understand global w
April 15, 2007 - 07:46 ET by SouthJersey1953Don't you understand global warming at all? The water in lake Michigan will fall because the higher atmospheric pressure in the midwest due to gw will push the water out of the lake, causing the water level in the Atlantic to rise.
It goes right along with their recent arguments that April is so cold this year because of the glaciers melting (as a result of algore warming).
Confused? THAT IS EXACTLY how they want you to be.... They keep pushing conflicting stories that any 5th grade science class can see through until the dumb public buys it. (which, sadly, is happening)
Don't settle for a RINO. Let's find and support a TRUE conservative.

April 14, 2007 - 17:48 ET by GalvanicOnce more, severe winter weather will impact GW events. There've been others, such as New York City having its coldest day on record the day that an important GW conference was convening there.
GW-zealots Laurie David often tells us that Nature is sending us a signal. Would they acknowledge that maybe -- just maybe --- God is sending us a message when severe winter weather hits on GW events?

What is really funny it was his father who opened my eyes to politics, he was a politican himself, a conservative...and he died doing what he loved, campaigning at a local fair.

April 15, 2007 - 07:14 ET by sublight68Just wait until late September or October when we catch a week of unusually warm weather. That will "prove" global warming is real. No one in the MsM or on the GW bandwagon will remember how cold and snowy it was this spring. Although by their logic, cold and snow is "climate change," which also proves global warming.
I think I'll start using that reasoning. By putting on a few pounds, that just proves how much thinner I'm getting.

The next ICE AGE?
April 15, 2007 - 09:42 ET by w0tmA small group of (actual) environmental scientists are convinced we are on the edge of the next Ice Age. Let's hope they're wrong but they have a huge amount of facts and data on their side. We did nothing to cause it and can do nothing to stop it. It's a fact even GW zealot scientists accept that the last Ice Age came on within a generation. World temperatures dropped 20 degrees in ten years.
Today, magnetic north has been moving toward the west at an increasing rate and the Atlantic Gulf Stream that warms the East Coast and Europe is slowing. At its present rate, it will stop then reverse course this century. This is the "tipping point" these scientists believe brought on the last Ice Age so suddenly. This is a natural phenomenom as the sun heats and cools and the earth's rotation wobbles to a different axis and magnetic north.
Is a sudden Ice Age and putting NYC under 100 feet of snow by 2015 worth it to shut up the idiot GW's and Algore and stuff it in their face? The end of the world as we know it? As Jack Benny responded when the robber yelled "your money or your life!" -- "give me a moment, I'm thinking it over".
Do you have any links for t
April 15, 2007 - 19:13 ET by lnthompDo you have any links for that? I know about the magnetic field changing -- I would be interested in reading more about the potential for an ice age.

April 15, 2007 - 15:44 ET by SnowWhiteDavid Suzuki is the Al Gore of Canada...except he at least has some scientific credentials..guess that's what ya call it. Of course he's a Darwinian & an athiest, so he thinks we humans are responsible for GW & we humans have to "fix it". Currently he's on a big 'rock Star style', bus tour spewing tons of those harmful emissions into the atmospher but it's ok cuz he paid for a wind turbine to be put up somewhere else in the world. Yesserreebob! that's all ya has ta do ta make it ok. He's getting people to sign some 'green' petition which is really signing up for the Green Party..another scary bunch. But if you want a good laugh here's Suzuki on the Rick Mercer Report tv show. http://www.cbc.ca/me... issues.php scroll down to Feb. 20,2007..."Rick & David Suzuki get rescued" Can somebody do this to Al G. or is he waaay too fat?

Remember how the media was "suspicious" of gas prices and how they were going to drop closer to elections to help the GOP?
And yet, all the Global Warming deniers are "suspicious" any time a global warming rally is canceled to due to a snow storm?
And yet, all the GW deniers are "suspicious" of the timing that record cold hits the day the GW alarmists release a report on how doomed we are?

April 15, 2007 - 23:40 ET by John in CARemember how the media was "suspicious" of gas prices and how they were going to drop closer to elections to help the GOP?
But when Clinton released millions of barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the months before the 2000 election in an effort to keep heating oil and gas prices low, the media didn't even blink. Yet, that was a callous use of the SPR and political power, contrary to the purpose of the SPR.
