Weekly global warming/climate change pissing match

Remember that very well.

Also remember getting snow flurries in early May one spring too.

 

I'm just lucky to have power. Our township was spared this time, even with a foot of snow. Most of the leaves have fallen off where I live up in the middle of the Poconos, which kept trees from falling on power lines.

 

I lied.. was 1991.

 

It just kept snowing and snowing and snowing.

 

Indeed it was. I called the Wisconsin highway patrol to ask about road conditions and was told, "you're on your own bud."

 

Now I'm going to have to be a wampa for Halloween.

 

From today's Strib:

The pictures of cars brings back some memories.

 

I'm one of the 800,000 without power. Especially difficult this time of year because of the cold. Second significant impact storm in two months. My street looks like a warzone with trees down and power lines across the road in a half dozen places

 

When you factor climate change; the costs to our economy; and our strategic vulnerability ( www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/nov/02/military-thinktank-us-oil ), it's nearly impossible to make a coherent argument against large scale development of alternative energy technologies.
