MILLIONS!


MILLIONS OF YEARS!


ARRROOOOOGAAAANT!

AverageAmericanGuy: There isn't much we can do about global warming now. It's inevitable.

The best we can hope for is to clog up the atmosphere with particulates and block incoming solar energy.

But no enviroweeny is going to go for that, so we're basically screwed. Thanks, libs!

A low level nuclear exchange would do it. A major volcano or two blowing its top would do it as well. My understanding is that unspellable, unpronouncable Icelandic Volcano actually reduce global temperatures in a measurable way last year.

Naw, the Sepulveda Pass is only 12 lanes across, including both sides with carpool lanes. Now, the amount of traffic depicted is about right (adjusting for the correct number of lanes), based upon my personal experiences having driven that route many times during rush hour.

*cough*

We don't know fark about long range forecasting.

/GFS says we have a cold end of the month.

Land Ark: All hail the Farmers Almanac. Eerie how it accurately predicted a snow-filled winter for the Mid-Atlantic.

that would be the real higher power outside of the bible that true bible belt farmers read.

GleeUnit: Can uh... Can Seattle get in on some of that? Doesn't take much to make us happy, but... A little bit would be nice.

Seattle doesn't get a winter in the first place. You keep your cool drizzle, and you gonna LIKE IT.

It's gonna be a shiatty summer for farmers and water reservoirs. All that quadrillions of litres of snow simply isn't there this spring; rivers will be dry, lake beds will be low, produce will be hella expensive due to low yields, and California will burn.

On the plus side, It's 20 farking degrees celcius in Toronto in mid-march, and it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon!

Does this mean the horrible winter they forecast for chicago isn't going to happen?

Baloo Uriza: Low cost of living, easy access to entertainment, shopping and recreation. Fairly tolerant and more progressive than they think they are (certainly more than pretty much anyplace Californicated). Generally a bright crowd, knows how to raise their kids right, doesn't drive like dumbasses, and enough variety to the weather that you won't get sick of it. What's not to like?

I agree with the cost of living, but there's a reason it is so low. I doubt you have nearly the access in entertainment, shopping, and recreation I do. I'm not a far drive from San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Lake Tahoe, or even Vegas. We are also more diverse and better educated out here. The weather also BLOWS, I lived in Dallas, I know. 100 degree summers and snowy winters! I'll stick to mostly sunshine, 80 degree summers and 60 degree winters, waaaay better. I also found Okies to be the opposite of progressive, it is the most conservative state in the US (at least top 3). Finally, y'all drive just as bad as Californians, just in a different way. Be proud of where you are from, but Oklahoma can't compete with California, or Texas, or even Arkansas, haha.

Baloo Uriza: The fact that it's a hostile environment for Californians is a Good Thing.

I'm a native Texan, I don't think Oklahoma is hostile (not sure why you wish for your city to be hostile, sounds Klan-ish), just really shiatty. I do agree that it is bad for places to get a bunch of Californians moving in since they will make prices much higher but no Californian wants to go to OK, believe me. I also know that a whole bunch of Okies would love a chance to visit CA. Come visit sometime, NorCal is beautiful.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: I love you both.

Thunderpipes: If only humans could do something like cool the air in their homes, or stay out of the rain, or move where land is, or make fire. Ya, we are doomed.

Holy lack of reading comprehension Batman!

The point is people fark everything up, not that there is bad weather.

fracas: amerikanespur: "temperatures in the pacific northwest and southern alaska will be below normal" That is just great. Last year we didn't get any real summer weather til august. I guess this is the new normal.

Came here to post that. Also came in here to post "fark fark farkety-fark fark fark fark fark."

Oh, and whidbey can shove his love for this dreary hellhole and all his sanctimonious "I like it here" bullshiat up his damp mildewy asshole when he gets here.

/About covers it.
//fark.


BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well you know...there's always California if you can't handle it here.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

/still love it here
//there's always CA
///bwahahahahahhahaha
////hahahahaha

Thunderpipes: Farking Canuck: Thunderpipes: If only humans could do something like cool the air in their homes, or stay out of the rain, or move where land is, or make fire. Ya, we are doomed.

You realize that if things go bad due to climate change, it will not be the temperature of people's houses that you will need to be concerned about, right?

/Sadly you probably don't realize this.

Name one plausible scenario humans won't be able to overcome. You can't. Our Obama-like ancestors survived an ice age with sticks and stones. If "climate change" or whatever it is called this week kills off half the world's poor, then wah wah wah. So what will I be concerned about? Oh, the masses will somehow get off their lazy asses and riot? BS, they can't be bothered to work 40 hours a week, they would riot amongst themselves and complain when they had to walk 2 miles to riot somewhere else. Sea level rise? Boo hoo, I live nowhere near the sea and have lots of woods, hunting, you name it. If we are talking Mad Max, well I even have the car. Even the worst climate shifts the planet has had, and will have, are easily overcome by people. Fear mongering, you used to accuse Bush of it daily, listen to yourselves. Would be nice if hippies just STFU once in a while and worked instead of pushing their doom on everyone.

I will run Barter Town. let the peasants shovel the pig crap.

Wow. Aren't you the picture of a modern, enlightened individual. I wish I hadn't read your post just before lunch ... you make me feel sick.

Welcome to ignore.

Forgot_my_password_again: They're gonna have trouble getting people to be against global warming on days like today.

It's doesn't matter. The next time it snows it will (again) disprove global warming and the same idiots will repeat that talking point again.

We, as a species, are doomed. Perhaps this is why we have not been contacted by extraterrestrials. Perhaps it is the nature of technology to destroy civilizations at some point.

So pass the hookers and blow. Nothing left to lose!

The real problem here is that American Democrats and Republicans are both looking at the situation through the prisms of their respective personality disorders (or theologies; same thing) and treating it as just another "issue" with which to "win elections." Sadly for humanity, the problem's more consequential than whether or not we free Mumia or allow prayer in public schools. Sucks to be us, I guess. Luckily for me, I'm going to be dead by the time the shiat really hits the fan, and I'm childless.

Dont think of it as America heating up, think of it as "worldwide pleasant weather redistribution" to benefit Greenland and Siberia.

/ I, for one, did not miss snow this year

GleeUnit: Can uh... Can Seattle get in on some of that? Doesn't take much to make us happy, but... A little bit would be nice.

Nope. Last year's map will again be applicable.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: sleeps in trees: I hate you.

It's ok I hate him too.

I love you both.

/probably the whiskey talking

I was supposed to go up for a week on the 19th. Husband got called away for work. I hate everyone!

Hit the Vodka Room and sit on the patio to raise a toast for me at the Chateau.

Corpus Christi has not been smacked by any hurricane since 1980, or a big one since 1971.

Mathematically at least, we are long overdue, and a hot dry summer is perfectly conducive to hurricane formation.

Daraymann: 60 in the Colorado Rockies today and NO F'N SNOW.
Mud season is two months early this year. Not good.

That's what i keep thinking. A month early here. My floor is filthy.

AverageAmericanGuy: This picture of a traffic jam is a photoshop.

Really? It looks just like the Sepulveda Pass.

kbotc: common sense is an oxymoron: steamingpile: Its amazing all of you are so arrogant to think man alone controls the earth, it has been around for millions of years but for some reason man has had more impact on our little piss-ant time on the planet.

Man, the most arrogant creature in existence.

The arrogance is in thinking that we can do anything we damn well please to the planet with no negative consequences. Most nonhuman creatures know enough not to shiat in their own nests, but some people seem to think such concerns are trivial and uneconomical, and that humans are somehow "above" all that.

Arrogance, indeed.

LOL, we don't even get close to the first critter who modified the global climate. The early O2 creating critters ended up changing the earth's climate a TON.

/They also changed it WAY more than we did.

Which makes it OK for us to fark it up more? Let's take that logic and go straight to Godwin. Hitler only killed 6M Jews, so if we kill some too, that's OK!

THESE HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS!

//these are more scary looking

I call it the "who ... me?" defense. steamingpile wants us to demonstrate our awe and reverence to the Earth by wrecking it with impunity. Because it's not like human beings haven't ever hunted a species to extinction or logged a forest into oblivion or anything.

Trees have fallen down in the past and they will continue to fall on their own in the future. How can you be so arrogant to suggest that man has cut down trees?!?

Haha, "minor."

My father used to mock climate change and say, "It's only a couple of degrees," as if it's only a problem if trees are bursting into flames. Read up on what happens to a rice harvest if there are too many 35+ degree days in the growing season sometime. The heat doesn't have to kill the whole crop to kill a lot of people.

Still got a good foot of snow on the ground. Some grass is starting to show through near the house, it's the earliest I remember the snow completely melting off my roof.

/Yooper.

See this bastard? I want him DEAD! I want his minions DEAD! I want to see his bruised and broken carcass rolled into a vat of acid!

"When it grows hot we found our men.. like butchered.. This year it grows hot."

Jocundry: I'm still waiting for winter to start.

Shut your mouth!!! After a snowstorm-each-weekend the North East had last winter, I was owed a mild winter and this one surpassed my expectations.

aselene: Sgygus: Nationwide, 577 record temperatures were broken Wednesday.

This proves that global warming is a hoax.

As expected, here comes the Fark lib brigade to shout about how a few warm days prove Man Caused Global Warming beyond a shadow of a doubt. SCIENCE dictates we use all the data, not just those convenient to our ideological predilections.

So what's the weather like elsewhere in the world? In Moscow, it is freezing, and they are expecting SNOW tomorrow.

Link (new window)

In Anchorage? Same thing.

Link (new window)

Viewing the whole picture reveals that it is cold in some places, and warm in others. Sorry Fark libs. You'll have to wait another year if you want to try to prove Global Warming.

Well done, 8/10

Lexx: GleeUnit: Can uh... Can Seattle get in on some of that? Doesn't take much to make us happy, but... A little bit would be nice.

We had snow in Vancouver. I want to punch people.

I wonder what the tornado season is going to be like. Cool-season weather systems and warm-season temperatures are part of what caused the last one, so starting off early spring like we're already a month into summer isn't a good scenario.

Mild winters, mild summers, year-round greenery, beautiful wildflowers, awesome views of lakes and mountains.

Hey, I won't complain.

Jocundry: I'm still waiting for winter to start.

"A year passed: winter changed into spring, spring changed into summer, summer changed back into winter, and winter gave spring and summer a miss and went straight on into autumn... until one day... "

Minarets: Spring? It's stil farking winter.

Where have you been. It's been spring for a whole week!

Seems like the dust bowl cycle from the 1930s. It lasted 6 yrs.

All hail the Farmers Almanac. Eerie how it accurately predicted a snow-filled winter for the Mid-Atlantic.

We have plenty of water here in Chicago. If global warming means mild winders and warm springs for us, but droughts, and devastating, deadly tornadoes for Red States like Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama...

I'm okay with that!

If winter was like this every year, I wouldn't consider moving. Just kidding, Cleveland is still a hell hole.
/ Hopefully it won't be raining every day this spring/summer/fall like last year.

Minarets: Spring? It's stil farking winter.

What winter? We had winter this year?

Fine. As long as we don't have to listen about Kardashian this or that, I'm ok with the planet exploding.
