    There never was a point other than the ones on top of people’s collective heads. A faux-Hallmark holiday.

    Climate change comes to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

    And to think how odd, that “Groundhog day” just happens to be six weeks before the calendar end of winter.

    because, some germans in pa enacted an ancient pagan rite. the weather prediction probably only applies to their neck of the woods, not anyone else’s.

    Can’t call it global warming because that’s what Democrats call it! (An’ you know them – them heathens believe in science!)

    I noticed that too, years ago.

    Oh, yelling about global warming is just about to get popular over on the unreal side. You see, in 2000 the USA was the world’s #1 greenhouse emitter, and implementing Kyoto would have cost the US IMMENSE money. But now it’s 2013. The US is no longer #1, and will shortly be #3. Moreover, the USA has already reduced emissions to 1992 levels, doing better than any area COMPRABLE in size and population. (The comprable bit is to smack down the goofs who try to compare countries with populations of 1% the size of the US and say silly things like “see what they did”. Ayup, and if you look at Las Vegas, they do hydro power and are just about as “clean”. Apples to apples, pls.) So now the shoe’s totally on the other foot, the US is on track to emit less than India in two years, less than Europe in three or four. Which means it’s to the US BENEFIT to start acting like the grownup in the room and start scolding other countries. Which the unreals will pick up on by the end of the year, and the scolding will begin. Of course, you’ll immediately be told that Republicans were on the “right” side of Global Warming all along.

    dtroutma, Alms4, The Pharaohs in Egypt would "predict " the flooding of the Nile, right on time every year…Even if they were off a few days, they still got credit for the flood. I use that as an example of how knowledge gives you power….

    Oh, goodie. So Miller has been suckered by the preposterous bogosity of the “man-made global warming” fraud.

    Never heard about Climategate 1.0 (FOIA2009.zip) and 2.0 (FOIA2011.zip), didja, boy? Confirmation that “the consensus” is rather more of a connivance, turning academic peer review into “pal review” to get their garbage into print while suppressing the publication of honest scientific investigation.

    Nor the fact that in spite of acceleration in the rates at which anthropogenic CO2 has been added to the atmosphere, even the British Meteorological Office – that notorious nest of climate catastrophists – has recently had to admit that there has been no warming in global temperatures for the past sixteen years.

    Which blows this half-vast excuse for a “scientific” conjecture right out of the water (also not rising).

    Y’know that big ball of fusing hydrogen 93 million miles away, bubbie? That’s what’s causing climate change, a slow, relatively steady rebound warming from the end of the Little Ice Age circa 1850, progressing at more or less the same rate per century – about 1.7 degrees Centigrade – ever since.

    And not likely to achieve the global temperatures seen during the Medieval Warm Climate Optimum until after the next couple of centuries.

    Some “catastrophe.” Some cause for alarm. Some excuse for carbon taxes to punish poor people for heating their homes, getting from place to place, paying for and cooking the food they can afford, and generally eking out their livings.

    All seriousness aside, that has to be the cutest ground hog I’ve ever seen…I should have known Wiley could draw a good ground hog….Cute as a little bear…I wonder if Miller has a wombat?

    I was picking wild strawberries in the back woods of Mackinac Island..I was in the small meadow known as Soldier’s Garden. Down the trail came two riders on horses..I looked up just as the woman asked, “Did you see a wombat come by here?” I’m not sure why I wasn’t ready for that particular question, but it kinda caused a short circuit in my brain. I was pretty sure I hadn’t, but my right brain was going through the files and not coming up with anything…Let’s see…wombat…wombat…wombat..Geeze I really should answer these folks, (Seriously, they were really cute, maybe if I’d known what a wombat was, I’d have sent a letter to Penthouse…), So my manly response was…“um…a no?”….ah, a day in the life…

    “I was picking wild strawberries in the back woods of Mackinac Island….”

    Oh? Were you doing it, perchance, on the second day of any February within living memory?

    It seems that Miller here is trying to imply that such a time of year has become (in Pennsylvania) suitable for sunning ourselves and sipping tall, cool drinks.

    I’m not far from Punxsutawney as I write, and there’s sure plenty of snow on the ground hitherabouts.

    To hell with Miller. I’m gonna brew a nice pot of hot coffee and settle in closer to the heater.

    Sadly, we’ve been vacillating between the 50’s and the 20’s. every few days it goes from Spring to Winter, then back again. Can’t get any good ice on the lakes or river because it doesn’t stay cold long enough.

    Tucci, I know you know that one of the forms humor takes is exaggeration…Miller’s pretty good at it…But, no, it was a beautiful early day in July (growing season is a little late up there..)…But of course my obvious next statement would be, “It won’t be long before I can pick wild strawberries in February”…(See what I did there with the exaggeration thingy?)
