Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Biological Conservation Newsletter, July 2001 - Smithsonian scientists have evidence that Washington's famous cherry trees are blooming on the average seven days earlier than 30 years ago, apparently due to global warming.
WTOP.com, February 2010 - Along the Tidal Basin near the paddle boats, quite a few of Washington's iconic cherry trees are damaged. [...] In some cases, branches six inches thick have been snapped off. Branches on other cherry trees are bent down to the ground and remain buried under snow.











I was there at the correct time two years ago and they were late,late ,late. cold , wet, but at least two months ahead of us.
interesting spot , civil servant heaven , and full of Obama supporters , probably still is. When you are that full of snivel subserviants is hard to bite the hand that feeds you and keeps upping the rations.
Kate's back...in fine form!!
Maybe Washington will be introduced to Saskatoon berries!
Washington's cherry trees were blooming April 20th in 1964. We have a picture in our album with us under the branches of one of the big beautiful trees. I wonder what the blossom emergence date is now?
I was told today the phrase ‘the science is settled' has been used by right wingers.
Seriously.
Watching the global monstrosity exposed for the Global scam it is. Has been sweet.
I love these contrary sounding puffery by the climatology hive.
It took years but the arrow of reality has finally pierced their billfold balloon.
Now its just a matter of when & how the crooks who manufactured this are jailed. Being a denier from the beginner, has been an ennobling experience. Y@K was a laugh riot as well. To bad so many where hurt from this obscenity to feel much satisfaction.

No climate change? Yeah right.
The headline should read;
"WASHINGTONIANS RAPIDLY LOSING THEIR CHERRIES"
It says my comment was withheld for approval. And you guys laugh at the CBC! Freedom of the press where and when it serves the press!!
David Suzuki is a limited god, that's for sure -- his domain seems to run from about Horseshoe Bay to Surrey, BC. Yeah, we've got warming here, the cherry blossoms are ready to pop any day now (have done so in a few sheltered spots) and the grass is green, you could walk around without a jacket today. So global warming hangs on in the lower mainland -- it seems to be a dead issue everywhere else.
The winter snowfalls already measured in places like Washington and Philadelphia are quite remarkable -- the return period on them will reach thousands of years if there is much more added to the current record amounts. Clearly this is an event that is even outside the normal variability of the atmosphere that warmists denied in the first place -- it's a sort of doubling down of natural variability to surprise even its own proponents.
I saw some pre-winter predictions of a heavy snowfall winter in that region, but nobody was talking about shattering all-time records halfway through the season. These are rare sorts of weather events, like the 27-storm Atlantic tropical season of 2005.

Yeah, I've noticed a certain amount of similar silliness going on. For example:
Doomer: "Global warming is happening, just look out your window." [MSM cheers and reinforces]
Skeptic: "I'm looking out my window and see snow when it should not be there." [MSM silence]
Doomer: "Heretic! Don't you understand that climate change means what we mean it means?! STFU!!!" [Loud screeching noises, etc.]
The warmists' fundamental problem is that they seek control but pretend to not be seeking control.
Another good one is accusing "non-believers" of being anti-science, religious fundamentalists or flat-earthers.

My remedy for climate change? Dress accordingly.
"T" nobody is arguing climate change at all ...we all know it occours...sometimes it get warmer and sometimes it get colder ...but what we don't agree on is MAN MADE climate change and how would taxing the crap out of people some how cool the planet ? it just doesn't make sence .
while some part's cool others warm up ....it is simple it is normal temp cycles of the earth.
And joe citizen kate has done the same thing to me alot latley so don't worry your not the only one ...i wrote a nice piece in "has steve discovered his inner keynesian?" and it wasn ot posted ...there was nothing wrong ,no swearing ,no vulagrity or any of that but for some reason it went to mediation and was determined not to be worthy.

As well joe they at this site moderation or screening panel will publish anything by "sure" or "new" witch barley passes for legible english at best but yet i write a nice piece and it is thrown on the cutting room floor ....i feel your pain bro.

Don't waste your time with 'T'. He's been told that a thousand times by the commenters on this blog and still doesn't understand. He's incapable of constructive thought.
Was it not Robert, ahem, Frost who wrote: "Loveliest of trees, the cherry now/ lies cruelly mangled by the snowplow..."

Quite right,Chairman Kaga. All it and the rest of the cult can do is repeat the the talking points of their leaders...i.e..OMG,the flat-earthers have the proof AGW is a scam and fraud,so let's call it climate change. As soon as they discover that this won't work,as we all know the climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years,they'll start saying that increasing proof of the NH snow extant expanding for at least 10 years,see,we told you AGW is responsible for that too,so we still gotta send trillions to China and Africa. Oh wait.They all ready beat me to that one.
Arguing logic and facts with extreme cultists,like eco-nuts,socialists and terrorists,is like trying to argue with the apple tree in your back yard. But hey, at least the apple tree produces something useful!
climate is by definition change. otherwise the whole earth would stay at 15C everywhere all the time. changes day to day -its weather, year to year- its climate.
Climate Change - Global Warming caused by man made emissions - AGW- whatever - was always a scam to create demand for Global Governance, a world government run by the UN. We were all supposed to go running to them pleading for them to save us. Developed countries were to hand over trillions of dollars to this unelected cabal (can you say Maurice Strong) to "save" the earth from ourselves and wind down economies that they deemed unfit (Commonwealth Countries and the US). Also in the plan was the extermination of billions of people to further help save the earth from ourselves and reduce our "carbon footprint".
These people are sick menaces with a limitless lust for power and need to be brought to justice, have a fair trial and then hung.
AGW?
Anti George Dubya?
Anthropogenic Global Warming. Get that? GW means Global Warming, not Climate Change, Global Warming.
No matter how they try to weasel out it it, AGW only means one thing and according to the original theory, caused by CO2 (not a pollutant, BTW).
The argument, I would think, would be about the extent and the science on that one is definitely not settled.
All it and the rest of the cult can do is repeat the the talking points of their leaders
Whack-a-mole anyone?
Poor Joe, his ego thinks that Kate takes the time to moderate and censor all of his comments. Pity he doesn't read what it says under the "Post a comment". Think FILTER!
Remember, unlike CBC, Kate & SDA are not funded by the Canadian taxpayer so you really don't have the right to whine.
Silly Kate... Those are both examples of AGW!
Too hot proves AGW. Too cold also proves AGW. Have you not been watching MSNBC?

To Texas Canuck--re: Think Filter.
Yeah right--Just like the Globe and Mail and the CBC read the 10,000 e-mails every day! Now that is funny! My Ego thinks that all forms of media supress certain "words" and "things."
