Back in the 70s another ice age was coming.

There was a mini ice age starting around the 13th century. Wonder how we helped.

Greenland was green when the Norse discovered it around 1000.

The polar ice cap has come and gone a number of times during Gaia's existence.

2014 becomes the warmest year GLOBALLY.

The lowest temperature in the last 20 months in South West Germany was some 32°. A snowflake in my region is more rare than a 1958 Harman Kardon Stereo Festival Receiver... in mint condition...

Weather forecast for this weekend: Sunny, windy and temperatures some 65°. There will be a weather phenomenon which is not as dramatic as the lake effect. The wind stream coming from South Africa will again transport huge quantities of red/grey Sahara dust to Germany. You can see that very nice for example on dark coloured cars...like mine...

And with the heat and drought they have had it has spiked to $2.49 a head here.
Those dammed Californians, screwing us with their lettuce! They'll use ANY excuse for sure

It felt really nice yesterday, though if it wasn't for the previous week we'd have complained about it.

In the low 20's here, just three days ago. Today, it's in the '60s and beautiful. Strange days indeed.

Recently Colbert said;

"Saying climate change doesn't exist because I was cold today is like saying world hunger isn't real because I just ate."

Comedic genius.

We had a low of 22 last week.

Today the high hit 77.

Really bizarre swings going on.

Because our school systems are becoming better at turning them into mind numbered little liberals who are better at parroting liberal orthodoxy than thinking for themselves. I suspect you know the type. 😊
