    In fact, Frazz has a point. We’re back (some ways) to a more statistically common weather pattern than we enjoyed during most of the last couple of centuries. Now, pretty much anything can happen pretty much any time.

    It is the epitome of arrogance to think that mankind can change the weather or control it. In micro areas, maybe a bit.

    We had winter’s last gasp on Wednesday, with ice and wind that left tens of thousands without power for several days. This Wednesday’s forecast is sunny and 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

    It’s not even complicated. We all know what happened to a car in the sun. The sun reacts to carbon dioxide in the air the same way it reacts to a pane of glass. Why do some people not believe that? Because corporations that make money by polluting the air have told them so?

    I am tired of shoveling all the “global warming” we’ve gotten this Spring from my driveway….

    Twain: Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. [Charles Dudley Warner originally said it. (thanks to Wikipedia) Twain was smart enough to use it.]

     Climate-Change Deniers in Stalingrad

    Remember the Battle of Stalingrad during WW2? The German juggernaut ran into a ferocious rear-guard action from the Soviet defenders who battled street by street, block by block, building by building, always moving back only a notch before fighting even more fiercely from the next fortified position behind them. The battle had a foregone conclusion, but that didn’t stop the fanatical defenders from laying down the last Russian life over the last centimetre of Stalingrad.

    So it has been with climate-change deniers. Each week their commissars pass down the latest rallying cries, which are faithfully, frequently, and loudly chanted by the troops each time they’re forced to move back another next block. Here’s a sampling:

    What’s global warming?

    There is no global warming.

    You’re making that up.

    That’s a hoax.

    That’s the biggest hoax ever perpetrated.

    There’s a conspiracy to promote this stupid hoax.

    Sure, there are seasonal fluctuations. So what?

    We’ve had long stretches of abnormally warm weather before.

    What makes you think the glaciers are retreating?

    Well, that’s not ALL glaciers.

    OK, nice photos, but the polar ice cap hasn’t budged.

    Are you going to listen to those crazy tree-hugging alarmists?

    That wasn’t what those very same scientists said 5 years ago.

    Look at these e-mails where the conspirators discussed their research.

    Scores of climatologists disagree.

    It’s not as bad as they’re claiming.

    So there’s open water in the Arctic; Greenland’s still all ice.

    It’s going to take a long time to be noticeable.

    The UN. Aren’t those the black-helicopter guys?

    What difference will it make to the average joe?

    It’s not QUITE as bad as they’re claiming.

    Dozens of climatologists disagree.

    Solar cycle.

    The polar ice cap grew ALMOST all the way back this winter.

    We’ll have centuries to get ready.

    1 degree? You’re getting excited about ONE DEGREE?

    Al Gore doesn’t deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

    It’s preposterous to think that humans can affect the whole planet.

    El Niño.

    It’ll barely be noticeable in our lifetimes.

    A dozen climatologists disagree.

    It’s a plot by Big Environment.

    2 degrees? Over HOW long?

    Well, there’s nothing WE can do about it.

    Sunspots.

    Humans are small potatoes in the overall scheme of things.

    This will take decades before it affects us.

    Not all climatologists agree.

    Do you have any idea how much money you’re talking about?

    It can change 30 degrees overnight. What’s a mere 3 degrees?

    Volcanoes.

    I’m shoveling snow today. Global warming, ha ha ha!

    The effects of humans have been exaggerated.

    Look, here’s a climatologist who disagrees.

    Al Gore flies in corporate jets.

    There’s nothing we can do about it.

    China.

    Humans are adaptable.

    We’ve got years to get ready.

    4 degrees? Is that like 7 degrees of separation, ha ha?

    We don’t want to act too hastily.

    If it’s not primarily our fault, why should we pay for it?

    It’s wonderful that the Northwest Passage has finally opened up.

    Let’s not get carried away listening to only one extreme.

    Scores of climatologists think we can save Holland.

    Benghazi! Gun-grabbers! CRT! Hunter’s laptop! Squirrel!

    I’ve always thought how ironic it would be that if we worked really hard to stop global warming, and instead tipped us into global cooling and a new ice age.

    I read about so many fossils and artifacts being found as ice retreats. Our ancestors and animals left those as the ice moved forward. Now, its retreating.
