1. It’s going to be a cold summer in the Great Lakes region due to all that ice created by Global Warming. 🙂

2. Yep cool and wet…..
   A maritime environment in the middle of a continent….if ya don’t like the weather just wait 5 minutes…..

3. I luv that the farmers said move more of our grain . where to?

4. As I commented at the link, somehow we’ve got to stop disastrous global warming,and the only way to do that as we all know,is through taxation.
   Currently we tax gas, beer, cigarettes, and all fuels with carbon taxes, but never have we ventured into another area; vegetables.
   I believe we should institute both a federal and Provincial vegetable tax of 50 cents per pound on all veggies, the gummint will make lotsa money and will be able to save us all from ourselves.
   Jeez, just had another brainstorm: pet taxes! Tax every dog and cat and canary ten bucks each per year,and watch the government coffers fill up with money to do more good for the people!

   If it was farmers doing it, it would get done. Unfortunately we have to depend on the inefficiencies of public corporations, that communal socialist bastard child.

6. I don’t see a lot of grainships bobbing around there…

7. Awful that the evil global warming deniers never have to pay for their lies and deception. Arrest them all, burn their books and papers before we all freeze to death because of the increases in temperature that causes such massive freezing events.
   FORWARD! Our Green Future is calling!

8. Fred,
   Forward is backward, up is down and we are are forever spinning spining……I think this is what they said when the Aliens took over Clinton and Dole in the Simpsons.
   Funny thing is, Farmers Alamanac go this right based on quite old formulas that pre date this AGW talk.

9. Who are you going to believe, the consensus or your lying eyes?

10. They sure don’t seem to be haveing any trouble getting container ships in.
    container trains go through here every day, day after day….no grain cars though.
    furthermore, this problem started long before freezup.
    52 or more ships bobbin at the west coast, and no grain to fill them?
    i’m sure ice isn’t the problem there. it’s cn and cp and poor performance….more like National disgraces than national railroads in my opinion.

11. Hey wasn’t AGW supposed to have taken care of these kinds of ice problems. I recall Lord Gore & Saint Suzuki both promising us no more ice by this year.

12. Here is a great article about the ways the global warming scam is hurting the middle class and empowering Putin:

13. Great idea Don. How much methane is being released into the atmosphere from canary farts? How much is released each spring when the snow melts from the thawing piles of dog doo? I guess if you use a hockey stick you can fire those dog drops before they thaw into the neighbour’s yard and his carbon tax fee will be the one that rises…not your’s.

14. And so it continues. Welcome to the ice age.

15. The latest from AGW warmist Gwynne Dyer: It’s abrupt climate change, stupid. In this sermon to the converted he tries to make the case that CO2 emissions are causing “abrupt climate change”, and moreover it’s just not fair to all those poor people in the world’s slums who don’t drive SUVs. Yet another facile argument that shows they’re grasping for straws in the coldest winter people can remember.

16. Scientists have shown how geologic process regulates the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Researchers have documented evidence suggesting that part of the reason that Earth has become neither sweltering like Venus nor frigid like Mars lies with a built-in atmospheric carbon dioxide regulator — the geologic cycles that churn up the planet’s rocky surface.

17. A good point sporty. Methane, the other greenhouse gas!
    In a shutdown meeting at a paper mill, I cracked a joke that
    was a play on the old “Pork, the other white meat” ad campaign
    for the benefit of one of the Asians in the room. “Dog, the
    other white meat!”
    As a Millwright, I worked dozens of landfills in the Southern
    California area. In every case, they were sucking Methane
    from the landfill and pumping it into an industrial engine
    that was used to generate power.
    We have been fed the line of Bovine Excrement that “Biodegradable
    is good.” There was a cute redhead at a local Whole Foods. I
    first caused her to piss her pants when I wore a People Eating
    Tasty Animals T-shirt.
    I was working in a paper mill at the time and managed to convince
    her that Methane emissions from these substances were contributing
    to “Global warming.”
    I then informed her that as a guy working in a recycling mill,
    that the only commonly recycled item that cost less to recycle
    than produce from raw materials, was aluminum.
    I really caused her to shit her pants by telling her that I
    was planning to go to the cliffs of Palos Verdes and shoot
    some Sea Lions.
    I did shoot some of these creatures with my dSLR with a long
    lens.
