Indeed. We've had five feet of snow here and it's colder than hell. When is that global warming going to kick in and eliminate all this snow like they promised back in 1990?

Yes, I can understand how you would wish these pesky little statements would go away never to be seen by questioning minds, but, so sad for you the internet is a wonderful thing
and the high priests little prognostications remain for all to see....
"Global warming, the heating of the atmosphere by increased amounts of industrial gases, is now accepted as a reality by the international community. Average temperatures in Britain were nearly 0.6°C higher in the Nineties than in 1960-90, and it is estimated that they will increase by 0.2C every decade over the coming century. Eight of the 10 hottest years on record occurred in the Nineties.
However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".
"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said."

Global temperatures aren't your home's thermostat. The world has had mass extinctions before, but do you want the legacy of mankind to rival that? A quick change to 2 degrees more will kill off many spieces that exist with us since we were born and destroy food production to feed the people of Earth. Just how far do you want mankind to go based on your recipe for distruction?...

Winters are much less cold but global warming has nothing to do with how warm or cold it is. This is the first cold snap of winter and it is almost January.
But don't you fret about it, let your kids do the worrying. Poor thing, you have enough to worry about what with encouraging your diligent speaker to keep taxes low for the wealthiest Americans and making sure no industry is held to pollution standards.
You just keep your fat ass in that computer chair you keyboard commando you..

Willingly making our global temperature 2 degrees higher in the near future, could make mankind the most destructive event our planet has ever faced. The changes in the past happened over long periods of time and a species can adjust to that. When you quick change your planet, your killing things off and I don't want to hear nonsense about their quality to exist. The fact they are here on Earth with us gives them credentials to exist. We have no right to drive them to extinction.
I've heard about people who move their car deliberately to run over turtles and I'll give you a link. I just can't understand why some people don't care about people or their world. What happened to that responsibility talk the right-wing has been preaching to all others? Are we that much of a fool as a human being not to know that simply knowing something can't solve a problem and we have to act on what we know to solve a problem?
Rhetorical questions, here's the link about the turtles:

Perhaps the little spot you are at has more snow, not the case with most of the US.
US Drought Monitor
Over 60% of the nation in drought.
Well let's have a look at what you call a delusional world. If an area is normally at 25 degrees for most of the winter, warms to 30 degrees, a five degree warming, and gets more precipitation, will it turn to rain because it is five degrees warmer?

Report shows record U.S. drought intensifying
CBS News
July 26, 2012
(excerpts)
(CBS/AP)ST. LOUIS - A new report shows the drought in the U.S. heartland is rapidly intensifying and shows no signs of abating. The U.S. Drought Monitor report released Thursday shows that the amount of land classified in extreme or exceptional drought jumped to more than 20 percent, up 7 percent from last week. More than 63 percent of the continental U.S. is in some stage of drought, a portion unseen since the Drought Monitor started in 1999. The drought has sent corn, soybean and other commodity prices soaring in recent weeks. The Department of Agriculture said Wednesday the drought will help push food prices up by 3 percent to 4 percent next year. Milk, eggs, beef, poultry and pork prices will all be affected by the drought.
Besides lower crop yields driving up food prices, the Mississippi River, one of the food-growing heartland's most-vital shipping lanes, is running about 12 feet below normal. "It takes more turns, more shipments to get the same amount of tonnage down to New Orleans," Barge operator Mark Fletcher told CBS News. Another nasty side-effect of the drought is the rise of swarming insects seeking shelter from the hot and dry conditions in yards and even houses. Mike O'Toole, of Iowa's AAA Pest Control, told "CBS This Morning": "The insects are being driven inside because they're looking for coolness, dampness -- some place to get out of the sun and out of the heat."

You seem to be mistaking, or misunderstanding, my position and climate science understandings. no harm, no foul.

Well, I apologize, because my passion had the better of me and I'm new to this board.
I'll give you a touche and I'll suggest we rapidly increase global temperatures by a couple degrees, because I'm getting old and too lazy to move to Florida.
Speaking of Florida, how do you think the coral reefs are fairing in that area?
Even if we don't agree (and that's my sarcasm), I still wish you well.
