Buffalo is about a 14 hour drive from Madison. Also if anyone is worried about that sort of thing happening in Madison, they shouldn't, because it's not close enough to Lake Michigan to get that kind of lake effect snow.

Umm, well I saw on the news today that cars were slipping and sliding on ice in WISCONSIN!!  Probably not as much snow as other places, but obviously they can still get some, and at least ice. Oh, I really hope I can get to that concert in one piece. Now you all know why my family and I are so paranoid about such things. Because it obviously can and does happen! |

Saw a temperature map of the US that was freezing nearly everywhere. I think it must be yet another example of the "Gore Effect", perhaps it works for Obama too. Start talking about Global Warming and you get unseasonably cold weather. It has happened a lot of times now - is somebody up there trying to tell us something?

The low temperature here was 10'F or about -11'C this morning. Impressive even for January! Around 200 cold min. temp. records were set across the USA this morning...some going back over 100 years. Buffalo and western New York will see another two feet of snow on Thursday.
I am close to the Great Lakes (just 194 miles from Buffalo) and on a slight mountain ridge with an elevation of 1600'. With a northwestern wind off Lake Ontario and perfect conditions like at present, could see inches of snow.

Which is a con. Climate change has always happened. So they can claim that everybody who knows anything about the subject knows that climate change happens, always has and always will. It is mostly natural. But in order to confuse the masses who have not studied it, some people are trying to pretend that climate change is caused by man. So if everybody who knows says climate change happens, then they can claim that they all agree that man is causing it. It's a lie, we really don't know how much man's activity impacts on climate. It is a very complex thing, and judging by the comprehensive failure of climate models to predict anything correctly (whatever happened to "the arctic will be ice free by 2013"), they have got the algorithms wrong. My guess is that the effect of CO2 emissions is at least an order of magnitude less than is claimed. And that the positive feedback mechanisms they postulate that amplify that effect are pure fiction. Positive feedback creates instability, as any engineer knows, and over the years the earth's climate had proved to be remarkably stable. So any feedback must be predominantly negative.
Trouble is a lot of people are using climate change to raise taxes, increase government power and make lots of money. So they will try to keep the alarmism going for as long as they can get away with it.

Well, I think the mere fact that they can't make up their mind on the title says something. But, they say that the key word is "global". They say "globally", the temps. are warmer, but I'm not sure people are buying that so much anymore. People care more about saving money than saving the environment. I do care about the environment, but not as far as weather goes. I care more about protecting wildlife habitats and reducing harmful pollutants than how things affect the weather. I think we are too small to have that big of an effect on the universe. Some effect, yes, but not so much as to radically change weather patterns, or whatever it is. In the meantime, I'm just worrying about the weather in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois in December.  After that, I can take whatever comes my way. LOL Which will most likely be rain. |

Seattle weather sounds a bit like England's weather, I know Vancouver is nearly identical to London so Seattle must be quite close! Probably both are the opposite of Wisconsin! Cheers, Dave |

Yes, there are many times when I see London's weather is very similar. Yet there are plenty of times when it's slightly different, too.

So if everybody who knows says climate change happens, then they can claim that they all agree that man is causing it. Martin D From 2000 to about 2009 we returned to the same area in Austria up in the mountains to lake Fuschl which acts as a freshwater supply for the city of Salzburg, lots of clean clear air and rainfall or snow. The first year only about two flights a day crossed over the area and it would take about 30 minutes for the vapour trail to diffuse and leave the beautiful clear blue sky slightly grayer, only barely noticeable. By 2006 the number of flights passing overhead had increased considerably, by noon each day the clear blue sky had been obliterated by the large number of cris-crossing vapour trails by late evening the sunset at the end of the lake about 6 kilometers away became a hazy view of the trees and mountains, where previously you could have picked out specific building features, rocks, trees and patches of snow on mountains, the clear clean view was gone in the five years. This sort of blanket coverage of the sky reduces evaporation which caused saturation of a lot of ground, which eventually caused landslides in several places around the area, we eventually stopped going there. The reduction of evaporation means somewhere else does not get rain for their freshwater supply, I think the satellite images of the clear skies when thousands of planes were grounded after 911 were proof enough of this. |
