Good old days

[elcalvo]

Temperature this morning is 4 degrees. Spent the day yesterday dealing with chest high snow drifts.
Iguanas are falling out of the trees in Florida because the temps are so low there.

Remember the good old days when the hottest topic on the ERBB was global warming?
Those hyperbolic warnings about children never seeing snow again sound a little silly now.

Just wait until its hot in July (like its supposed to be).
They will be screeching about it again.

I'd like to correct an error in my original post.
Not too long after wrote it, I saw that the temperature had dropped to -2.

Joe Biden fixed it.

I love when people use a single weather event to confirm their confirmation biases about the world's weather.

It's pretty evident that a lot of the world's ice is melting simply because of the higher than normal flood tides the whole east coast has been experiencing in the last decade or so. Happens way more often up here in Charleston even on dead calm days, same with South Florida and the Chesapeake Bay. More ice=lower ocean. Less ice = higher ocean. More warmth of oceans = thermal expansion and thus higher oceans as well. Just because there's a fricking blizzard up north and it's cold in Florida doesn't mean the earth ain't warming, genius. Climatic instability helps the jet stream dig farther south, carrying cold air with it. Bigger wobbles in the jet stream can mean bigger cold impacts. Like Texas last winter.

This is complete bullshit.

And the source of your contradictory science is?

Hey, just because he gets discredited and debunked on a daily basis around here doesn't mean he's not an expert. After all, he's been studying the politics of climate change for 30 years.
of course, he might actually have some credibility if he been studying the science of climate change for 30 years, but that's too hard.

You made the bullshit claim I quoted. I just called bullshit on it.

You called bullshit on what I said with what sort of facts to back you up? I can call bullshit on anything. Doesn't mean I know what the f' I'm talking about.

??????????????????????????????????

Given that for nearly 3 decades I've lived at a location that is highly susceptible to tidal flooding I'd love for you to prove that anything of any realistic significance has changed. The storm drain by my house calls bullshit on this claim. The flooding hasn't changed for better or worse in my lifetime and you can take that to the bank.
