At this rate it'll be "global warming" for the whole world!

Z: I've started another blog in which to satisfy my political ravings. It's called Three Ball Dead: http://threeballdead.blogspot.com/

I still post at Midst The Hum, but that site is more about southern culture, etc. I needed a place to let my hair down a bit politically speaking, hence TBD. I have you blog rolled there. I hope you can drop by and commiserate with me as we muddle through the age of the Obamanator. By the way, I very much like your "no thanks, I alrady have a messiah" tag. Excellent!

Reminds me of my childhood, the day it snowed in Madrid.

London, with a population of 7,000,000,000 people and zero snowplows, had best be saying some serious prayers for some "Global Warming"!

Notice how they'e stopped calling it globalwarming lately and started calling it climate change.

That's because the climate is always going to change, but it's not always going to warm.

This is a scam and the sooner we expose the perpetrators as such the faster we're going to figure out if there is anything we can do to ameliorate the situation.

As global warming replaced the hole in the ozone layer as the big threat, which replaced acid rain, which replaced overpopulation, which replaced being buried in litter, the left will come up with a new ecological disaster which can only be solved by giving them total authority. It has not been about the environment for many years.

Shoprat - Astute, brief, and spot on!

Global Warming? Looks like winter time to me, but what do I know. I've never been to Europe.

Blessings.

I will ask my congregation, the First National Church of Planetary Thermal Bank and Trust, to pray for all of you to get your eyes opened and shun the message of the unbelievers, infidels, and heretics. Just because the planet is cooling doesn't mean it isn't warming.

Larry, great that you've got a new blog; I'll be very happy to come by and see you satisfy your political ravings!! I hope a lot of people do!

FJ...snow in Madrid...it snowed all over Spain just a month or so ago.

The point of this whole blog was that it hardly ever snows anymore in London OR Paris and it looks like things are cyclical and going back to snow again. My tutor said his childhood winters in Paris were all snowy; Look at Utrillo, Seurat, Monet, etc....snow, snow,snow.......... We had a bit of snow while living there, VERY little, but it's been steadily getting snowier.

Shoprat and Pris...London's "experts" are back to ZPG...remember that? Zero Population Growth? That's all I heard in college...sad thing is it's only one segment of the West which DID halt or greatly curb child production....and now we're paying for those who didn't.

Thanks, Rev Gore.......JUST exactly what I thought you'd say. Now go somewhere else. Thanks.

I.H.S. said...

Wouldn't Al Gore and the rest of the G.W. club know that weather patterns are in fact cyclical?

I mean I remember some years as a kid in the MidWest when we didn't get a whole bunch of snow, but nobody called it Global Warming then, they called a break and thanked God for it.

Blessings.

I think you just won COMMENT OF THE YEAR!

Excellent..absolutely inspired! (of COURSE) It just seems SO simple but they don't SEE IT!!??

You know, I'm not saying we shouldn't reduce carbon emissions. Nor am I saying we shouldn't be more "green" in our lives. But I don't want my nation bankrupted behind this notion of Global Warming, nor do I want the pockets of taxpayers fleeced for reactionary ideas and programs.

Additionally, sure, we could use more solar power or wind power -- when the very specific terrain may ALLOW. But I'm also for nuclear power, coal, gas and water-powered electrical generation stations. I am also for more refineries. I am for more drilling, offshore and into our own domestic soil.

I am ALL for making this nation as energy-independent as POSSIBLE as SOON as possible, so that the barbarians inhabiting the Middle East may deal primarily with themselves. Once THEIR petrodollars dry up, they can cut more of their OWN throats.

DRILL MORE, BUILD MORE POWER GENERATION STATIONS and REFINERIES, BALANCE the U.S. BUDGET.

London  Snow

by Robert  Bridges (1844 – 1930)

When men were all asleep
the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling
on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually
settling and loosely lying,
   
Hushing the latest traffic of
the drowsy town;
Deadening, muffling, stifling
its murmurs failing;
Lazily and incessantly floating
down and down:
   
Silently sifting and veiling
road, roof and railing;
Hiding difference, making
unevenness even,
Into angles and crevices
softly drifting and sailing.
   
All night it fell, and when full
inches seven
It lay in the depth of its
uncompacted lightness,
The clouds blew off from a
high and frosty heaven;
   
And all woke earlier for
the unaccustomed brightness
Of the winter dawning,
the strange unheavenly glare:
The eye marvelled - marvelled at the dazzling whiteness;
   
The ear hearkened to the
stillness of the solemn air;
No sound of wheel rumbling
nor of foot falling,
And the busy morning cries
came thin and spare.
   
Then boys I heard, as they
went to school, calling,
They gathered up the crystal
manna to freeze
Their tongues with tasting,
their hands with snowballing;
   
Or rioted in a drift,
plunging up to the knees;
Or peering up from under
the white-mossed wonder!'
'O look at the trees!' they cried, 'O look at the trees!'

London Snow - continued


With lessened load a few carts
creak and blunder,
Following along
the white deserted way,
A country company
long dispersed asunder:
   
When now already
the sun, in pale display
Standing by Paul's high dome,
spread forth below
His sparkling beams,
and awoke the stir of the day.
   
For now doors open,
and war is waged with the snow;
And trains of sombre men,
past tale of number,
Tread long brown paths,
as toward their toil they go:
   
But even for them
awhile no cares encumber
Their minds diverted;
the daily word is unspoken,
The daily thoughts
of labour and sorrow slumber
At the sight of the beauty
that greets them, for the charm
they have broken.
  
~ Robert Rridges (1844-1930)

For a time Bridges was Poet Laureate of England.

So I clicked on you because you have almost the same pic as me, then I found this post which is almost identical to one I had a few weeks back.

then i see the 'republican: because not everyone can be on welfare'.

i think we were separated at birth. :-)

great blog!
