Global warming is just a bunch of BS! :sarcasm:
Thanks corporate Amurika... you fucked us over again.

1. Upstate NY

67 degrees at present. Was 61 at midnight last night.

No snow yet. Very few frosts. On average temperatures 20 degrees above normal. This is not good for the trees. Bugs proliferate. Ladybugs, bees and mosquito's flying around in January.

3. apparently...

the absence of snow in NYC for the 2 months (Nov. & Dec.) was last recorded in 1811. Seems a tad strange to say the least.

4. It's no good for honey bees either.

As the weather warms they become more active, however, because there's no honey flow, ie flowers to harvest, they'll use up more of their store of honey and can't replace it. Come February and March, without a dedicated beekeeper, they may starve.

Yeah, we could probably get along without honey. We need their pollination activity or we're down to eating stringy tough beef and tiny rock hard potatoes.

2. 48 degrees and a 30 mph wind in San Antonio

The high will barely make 50.

5. well, not to dispute global warming

but here in Colorado we've been getting dumped on - to an extent that's pretty abnormal for December.

The recent abnormal weather might have more to do with a shifted jet stream than global warming.

6. right below you panhandle of texas. been cold most of fall and winter and

have had three snows. was suppose to get on last night but didnt happen. not many are listening that the cold is elsewhere, just feeling it is indicative of across the nation and it is not. all the way south to el paso they have had abnornally cold weather and i understand a little snow maybe yesterday?

7. new mexico also, I've heard, has been having a lot colder winter

so far - also more snow.

I think it's important to not blame everything on global warming - it takes away from the real arguments on the subject. It's like the little boy who cried wolf.

8. exactly. that is why i keep coming on threads tlaking about this. i do not think

global warming is going to be boom, all of a sudden, winter gone. plus 3 yrs ago a hard winter. two winters ago we would get dumped, warm up, get dumped warm up.... oddest thing all winter. last year, ... no snow, really odd. and 50's, mostly 60's and some 70's and an 80 here and there. nothing like it. totally no moisture. and then this year, cold and snow.

it would be easy to say global warming, but lets look at two years ago in gulf and massive hurricanes adn large number. global warming we yelled. that year we had lots of tornados too. like i had never seen. spawning all around us, often. last spring, no tornados, rains without threat, really unusual around here. and no threat hurricanes.

yes i believe in global warming. but i do not believe all weather change to be given to global warming. a lot more unpredictablility in our weather always.... than having to do with gw.
