Talked to my mom in Florida yesterday- they had sleet and “snow”. Here where we SHOULD have cold and snow, I went riding on my motorscooter yesterday and it was WAY too warm, and no snow. We will have water shortages next summer, and THAT is the REAL problem with “climate change”. What’s happening around the globe DOES match the change models, but there’s no use trying to relate facts to those in “Fantasyland”.
Of course climate change is real, trout, and has been for the past millions of years. Here, we have been 12 - 15 degrees below average every day this year. Cycles happen, fluctuations happen, and they always have. For Christmas I got four new sweaters, and tripled my annual purchase of rock salt.
If it gets too cold, I’ll ask my buddy senor if I can move in with him. Or at least visit. We could talk politics.
Once again the climate change deniers confuse weather with climate. Sigh. One of the effects of warming is a shift in weather patterns as well as increasing extremes, since there is more energy in the system. Some places will get colder, most places will get warmer, and everyone will be getting a wider range of weather.
Anyone been paying attention to the weather in Europe? The UK got pounded with snow last week and is exceptionally cold. But that’s exactly what the models say might happen regularly as a likely side effect of warming: if the Gulf Stream shifts, the UK, which is at roughly the same latitude as Newfoundland, would start getting Canadian-type weather. Now it’s more like lower New England.
It’s no picnic in the southern hemisphere, either. New Zealand is in the height of summer and it is cold and foggy in Dunedin, not much better than winter. At least they got some rain “up central” which is sorely needed, except it came at just the wrong time for the cherries. Can’t win.
I love lamb! Roasted with garlic and ginger!
I’m sure that you have wonderful tomatoes.
And I don’t need no stinking green card!
Moviemagot -Yes, I have heard of the snow in England. My friend, born and raised in England, who went home for Christmas, commented on how infrequently the snow lasted more than a day or two there over the years. This is only one of five or ten over the past seventy. It happens, but not often.

Now we know why the ice caps are melting.
They are moving south …

Cold in Florida… As if… Come to Minnesota, we will show you cold and a real snow bank.

Who would have ever thought people in Florida would move to “balmy” New England?

Well, weather is local and as such is indicative of climate - over time.
The current cold waive effects the entire northern hemisphere.
Check what’s happening in Europe and Asia - it is brutal.
Combine this with anecdotes like last year’s snow in Baghdad - first ever recorded, and you begin to see a pattern.
The very events that many man-made climate change ‘scientists’ sought to discount - for they couldn’t explain them.
Computer models: poop in = poop out.
They can’t even project whether correctly hours in advance, and that with real data fed in real time, and much fewer variables …
