"It's Cold Out There, Woodchuck-Chuckers!" *Updated*


I recently gave up posting satirical observations on the whole global warming frenzy. It just got too easy. Two, three, four, even five items a day that ran counter to the mainstream narrative that the planet was over-heated, had a fever, and was on fire.

I assumed that global warming alarmists would just hunker down while reciting their mantra over chattering teeth, "when it's hot it's climate, when it's cold, it's the weather".

But I want to mention this one: Right now it's 78 degrees below zero in Alaska. Seventy-eight degrees below zero. Canadians will say, "ah, but what is that in Celsius??? My friend, at -78 degrees, I don't think it much matters. You better hope that your Stanfields were inspected by No. 10 on a good day and that your wife doesn't lock you out of the house.

One more thing. It's been reported that more people die in North America from cold than heat. The environmentalists hope it stays that way.

And that's the way the frozen-north Ball bounces.

*Update*

The current temperature in Tok, Alaska has risen to -40 C.

Proof that the planet is warming and global warming is real.

I believe the reporting was in error; it was -61F that was reported as -61C and then converted to Fahrenheit. However, it was still #@$% cold at -51.67C, which is the proper figure!

Given your feeble grasp of science, I'm not very inclined to listen to you when it comes to such matters.

What will the environmentalist do when it becomes apparent that people increasingly are questioning their claims. The earth is cooling as it did in the 1960's and 70's and then it warmed and 10-20 years in the future it will warm up again all without any help from man.
What i noticed is that there are increasingly fewer articles on the dangers of global warming. The idea seems to be slowly dieing as well as it should.

I wish that were so.

Let's wait and see what Barack Obama does with it. Also, good ol' Canadian PM Stephen Harper has plans to get in line with the world consensus about C02.
