John Kerry Climate Crisis is killing people

I'm over 70, live hundreds of miles from the coast, enjoy both our gasoline powered SUVs, plenty of summer and high performance winter clothes and a pool in the back yard. At my age, just how much is global warming, global cooling or global staying the same going to affect me?

Yet you vote for the very idiots who want to FORCE you to give up your gas engine SUV, gas grill, ceiling fans and gas stove and heaters. Why do you do that?

Upper 30's here ... damn ... just 10,000 years ago that would be 42ºF ... still an uninhabitable polar wasteland ... snow level down to 5,000 feet this morning ... unfit for humans ...

Oh the humanity ...

Today it was in the 60s and loving every minute of it.

It's our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren who will be slightly inconvenienced ...

Oh my ...

Yeah, especially when they make sure everyone is freezing with Solar and Wind power.

My heating company is doing something about it. They replaced my old furnace with a smaller one, that doesn't keep the house warm when temps are below zero. However, as I have to use electric space heaters to make up for it any benefit to the environment is lost.

You sound like you'll fall for anything. Oh and you left out, my gas lava rock fire pit and my outdoor propane hooded cafe heater, that I use these nights when I pull the curtains closed on the new deck. That I drive my SUV to Lowes to swap tanks of propane, in. I was never in fear of giving up any of them. SUCKER!

My local weather office knows if temps drop below 32 ... they'll be getting an angry e-mail from me ... so it won't happen if they know what's good for them ...

Bummer. Without snow, cold is pretty useless.

Freezing up the lakes nice this year.
About 6 inches already. A few folks out there ice fishing. Up north safe for ATV and snowmobiles.
Last couple years was crappy ice. Last year had too many warm spells and the year before was so much snow it would sink the ice and turn it to slush on the surface. Couldn't trust it.
I usually wait until I see trucks pulling fish houses out before I venture on it.

I'm in TN. It doesn't usually even freeze enough to walk on ponds. Back in '77, tried to do a waterborne exercise in M113s, at minus 10 at Fort Knox. First one was trying to break the ice. It would rise up, chewing off the ice, then settle back down. Kept doing until it climbed out approaching 45 derees before 11 tons snapped the ice and broke the surfboard off, like it was plywood. OK, it really is plywood . It nosed under water, dumping 6 inch ice and freezing water poring into the driver's hatch. You never saw a driver and a Track Command, snatching CVC helmets, commo cords and diving for the ice, so fast in your life, before it righted itself and started shooting out streams of water like a coastguard cutter doing a port salute, as the bilge pumps did their job. Driver was ok, just half frozen, TC busted a knee cap, as at 45 degree angle, he was a lot high above the ice when he dived for it. That, pretty well ended my experience with vehicles on ice.

I would fall for anything? Bwaaaahhhaaaa....You fell for the Fake Russian Dossier. You fell for the Jan 6th FBI setup. You keep voting for the very people who wish you dead. You really are an unintelligent baffoon.

Nobody wishing me dead, that I can't handle. You still on about that collusion thing? Thats a joke.

On a few major lakes in northern MN, the resorts plow ice roads on the lake and charge like ten bucks to use it. That's when it gets at least 3 ft thick.
People with big trucks and RV style fish houses that can lower to the ice use those.
The plowed roads are the safest ice and checked daily. Snow can insulate ice and prevent proper freezing.

Little towns pop up on the lakes over underwater structure. Huge industry just related to winter fishing.

I just have a portable shelter I can tow behind a snowmobile. Some folks have little mini cabin shelters they leave on ice all season. Some get pretty elaborate.
Basically like sitting in a nice warm living room watching the fish on a underwater camera on a big screen TV, drinking beers and playing cards. There are usually several hatches that you drill a hole in the ice and fish through the floor.
Don't drop your phone.
