Hey Al ! What Happened To All That Global Warming Stuff ?

Al thinks he's so powerful that he can bring down the world! Nevermind the facts.

Carolyn, it passed us up.  We got about an inch.  It's pretty, but I'm ready for Spring.

Carolyn, the picture is beautiful! We southern folk have been have been wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts as often as we have been wearing coats this winter.  Sunny and 48 degrees today in Birmingham, sunny and 60 tomorrow, partly cloudy and almost 70 Friday. I'm not trying to make you jealous, but we found Al's global warming.

I love the snow on the trees Carolyn.  Nice picture, even if it did make me shiver ;)

Carolyn,

It comes and goes here!

Carolyn, I love LOOKING at snow photos.  But, that is exactly why I'm FROM the midwest, LOL.  

Our winter has been very mild this year.  Love it!

I have missed taking snow pictures this year in Maryland.  However, I will not complain about the beautiful weather that we continue to enjoy. We have another sunny day, with no snow.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Carolyn, what a surprise to get snow in April! This has been an unusual weather winter, indeed. Which proves that men don't really know all that they think they do about the weather :)

We got snow in October here - and then nothing....But a very cold April and May is shaping up to be unseasonably muggy. However, DO NOT make fun of global climate change. It is a serious and real problem that FAUX NEWS likes to trivialize to satisfy the oil industry.  You are trifling with a serious problem that could wipe out many species and change human life on earth forever. If people think that humans are "clever enough" to outsmart the planet they are kidding themselves.  Small temperature shifts have the capacity to leave vast swaths of land uninhabitable rather quickly once a tripping point has been reached.

You are mistaking weather for climate.  Weather has always been a fickle thing.  It has a massive impact at the time, but in the grand scheme of things it is fleeting.  I was a scientist for 15 years and subscribed to the major journals.  I was not an atmospheric scientist, but I did read the abstracts and reports on climate change - mostly because I thought it was important to do so.   The consensus within peer review was huge. Scientists are supposed to argue the fine minutia of just about anything into the ground.  (I know because I did my fair share of it and had others  drill my research into the ground) The consensus among atomspheric scientists  that we are headed for a climate change abyss was enormous.  Predicting where the tripping point is and when it will be tripped is another matter.  Global warming doesn't mean that snowstorms will end or that we won't have our share of unseasonable cold weather.  It portends to a gradual increase in temeprature overall.  An overall change in climate across the globe. 

Btw, the scientists that dispute climate change tend to be funded by the oil industry (In the words of the Church Lady - "How conveeeeenient!" or they dredge up someone who studies spiders  or some other obscure field that has nothing to do with climate science who somehow thinks they can dispute the data.  I was a molecular biologist until Bush made sure that 90% of us could not make a living doing what we trained for 10 years post-grad to do. I'm not a climatologist, but I sat my ass down and read the journals becuase it had massive implications for our future.  Making fun of climate change is something you have the right to do once you sat down and did the WORK of understanding it.  Of course, once you've done the actual work - and that does not include reports from Fox news or MSNBC for that matter - you will realize you are looking down the barrel of a gun.
