eagle_eye222001 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The global warming bandwagon has lost some of its steam.

Saint Therese Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This is the coldest winter we've had in Texas for some time, at least thirty or forty years. We've had some winters where we never had a freeze or only had one or two hard freezes. This year we've had so many I can't count them all.

Then the very cold polar ice cap water mixes everything up and the weather goes crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the global cooling theory has always been more valid than the current global warming craze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galloglasses' Alt Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have had three consecutive days of snow here in Ireland, it even had the nerve to lay for a couple of centimeters. This hasn't happened in decades though, Ireland used to have freezing winters cold enough to freeze every lake in the country, and summers hot enough to rival spain in spring time. The weather has gone berserk its true but it IS getting colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I was cutting roses in December, and getting poison ivy in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
