I'm wondering why some climate scientist hasn't come out and said that this is exactly the type of cold and snowy weather (or worse), that we need to restock our glaciers?
We really do need an authority figure to put people's mind at rest by telling them that this is NORMAL weather.

Are they afraid of being stoned by the Al Gore fanatics?

BTW, snow and cold is playing bigtime on KTLA Los Angeles this AM.

This is usually the time of year we start getting inundated with the "Antarctic is melting" stories.

Please, please tell me that the last link is a parody site. Please.

Do you get the feeling these "talking heads" were the people who wanted to be part of the "in" crowd when they were in high school?

I can't see these people as being the leader of pack...just the sycophant followers.

Why should Canada blessed with 9% of world's fresh water supply, oil, natural gas, mineral wealth, arable land, forests and rich seas care what anybody says about us. If anything we should make them dance to our tune is they want our resources. We just don't get it.

~~favill~~

The last link is a parody site.

Belasarius, you are right, over on Bourque is the big headline, Arctic Ice Melt. Hard to believe these clowns and their willing accomplices in the MSM can't see the outdoors. They are just Stupid, plain and Simple. I fear for the future when 1500 dollar a month reporters and idiotic professors are moulding small minds.

Lizard May has actually uttered a statement that can be concurred with as we are all embarassed that she is a Canadian.

I have to agree with Dizzy Lizzy "I Too, Am Embarrassed That She's A Canadian".
I guess if the Coalition had its way she could be an embarrassed Canadian Senator by now.

This just proves that Lizzy is right. Canadians ARE stupid.

"In Vancouver, global warming's latest cooling trend threatens lives..."

You go that right! It's -2 and there's this cold white shit all over the ground! What's up with that? I'm going to need an extra insulating sleeve for my double decaf no foam soya latte today! How ever will I cope with this privation?

The reply to Gore should be the cooling is the result of the "Supreme Entity" agreeing with him. So he was right, it's being taken care of so unless he feels he knows more he should be quiet.

The One can solve two crises(?) at once.

Let the Big 3 fail, hence less car/truck emissions, trash, consumerism, smokestacks.

and Solve Climate Change...............

(i.e. talk lots, do nothing)

Clearly there's a need for more farting cows.

I thought Dizzy Lizzy May was a AmeroCanadian like Iggy.

I'm wondering what it will take to get that obnoxious gasbag to STFU!
Maybe we could convince it that every time it opens it's frightening maw, it blows another hole in the ozone layer...

Matt quote
"Clearly there's a need for more farting cows."
You mean you want more Ellie Mays?

to paraphrase George Taylor

"Damn this Global Warming all to hell."

Why would she be embrassed to be Canadian? She's American after all.

Dizzy May fer sure.

Don't we get climate change 4 times a year in Canada? I mean, except for Vancouver which only has a rainy season and Winnipeg which only has 2 days of summer, 1 day of mosquitoes and 362 days of winter.

Ellie May was going to throw her shoes at Stephen Harper but she got cold feet.

I've no argument about spending more money on climate change, especially here in Calgary, -- more snow ploughs and sand please!

If Lizzy is so embarassed with being a Canadian, why dont we mail her to one of those countries that she can be proud of? Preferably one that doesnt believe in the phrase "Return to Sender".
She can be a failure as a politician there and no one in Canada will have to put up with her yammering again.
It would be win-win for everyone!

All the Believers & their hanger-on Warmonnger Crowd are a decade late and a few degrees short.

Nobody gives a crap about their bleating anymore. There are much bigger things to worry about, like having a job. They'll scream louder and longer as they get pushed further and further away from the microphone, so we should expect a real temper tantrum as they are denied their self-appointed right to inflict economic suicide on the rest of us.

Its over, its getting colder and they missed their window of opportunity. Their faux crisis has been replaced by the economic crisis.

Its all over but the screaming.

More PHD from the Beeb: Who is that masked freezing man, Tonto?

"Computer models suggest that natural cycles may cool the Earth's surface in the next few years, masking the warming impact of rising greenhouse gas levels."

"This year is coolest since 2000

The world in 2008 has been cooler than at any time since the turn of the century, scientists say.

Cooling La Nina conditions in the Pacific brought temperatures down to levels last seen in the year 2000.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) notes that temperatures remained about 0.3C above the 1961-1990 average.

Computer models suggest that natural cycles may cool the Earth's surface in the next few years, masking the warming impact of rising greenhouse gas levels.

One recent analysis suggested there may be no warming for about the next decade, though other scientists dispute the conclusion.

What is beyond dispute is that 2008 saw temperatures a shade below preceding years."

We have a Green party member in our family. She worked the phones, canvassed etc for the Green party during the last election.

When I asked her what she thought about her fearless leader propping up libranos, Layton's stache and separatists, it was the first time she had nothing to say in years. Of course I kept prodding her, and man, did she lose it!

Lizzie better hope for that senate appointment, as I think she is history as far as the Green party is concerned.

And, not only am I embarassed that she is Canadian, I also have to wonder just who in the hell elected that idiot to be representing Canada on the world stage.

She should just go back to the maritimes and try to save some butterflies from the coming ice age.

IDIOT!

GO ARMY!
VOTE REFORM!

My thoughts were similar to yours, Kate, when I heard about Lizzy's embarrassment. I would be embarrassed that someone like her is (mis) representing Canada.
That would be especially so if she is getting any play in foreign media; if only the CBC is rushing to quote her, not so much.

Just who is paying for lizzie no-job's trough-wallowing junket and who is she representing?

2nd: has this imbicile EVER had a productive job?

Elizabeth May; the most dangerous woman in the country. Should be in a cave with the Bin Laden and the most dangerous man in the world, Al Gore.

Warwick - the TAXPAYER is paying for Lizzie May's exccellent adventures.

Remember the $1.75 per vote? It is pretty well the only money thae Green Party has - more than $2 million I think.

$2 million for an advocacy special interest group of old hippies masquerading as a political party to scam the taxpayer.

Pretty good gig huh.

Right on Marie

"This is not a time to just take advice from those of us in DC. It is time for every rabble rousing, child-loving, planet protecting person to get clear that we will not be okay unless we disrupt business as usual."

I think the Canadian beaver would be embarrassed to know that 'lizzy mae' was a Canadian. The problem is that 'lizzys' lips start moving before her brain kicks into gear.

Another fake UN conference. Another bunch of groupie freeloaders travelling all over the world. They generate thousands of tons of carbon so they can lecture the rest of us about AGW. One more excellent reason to cut off UN funding NOW.

This is one of the best put-downs I have yet read about the AGW scammers. It comes from James A. Peden, atmospheric physicist formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh.

"The Great Global Warming Hoax appears to be a collaborative effort between the world’s incompetent scientists and the world’s scientifically illiterate journalists."

I just got finished posting a comment over at Al Gore's blog. I doubt it will get posted but what the hell, I got to vent and he got something other than the usual praise and ass kissing. So for shits and giggles I invite you all to go over there;

But be warned! Hold your nose as you enter cause there is so much BS in there you can smell it through your computer.

That's a satirical blog, Tim. Fake Al Gore.

Well, I was just watching CNN where they were showing footage of the snow in Las Vegas, and Wolf Blitzer said "maybe there is no global warming." Ultra-liberal sidekick Cafferty chimed in with "not there, not today."

Cracks in the cathedral?

Gargoyles about to fall?

I'm waiting for the snow in Phoenix now.

And Las Vegas is having it's record snow fall amount as we speak. Mccarran airport is closed, and there's 5-6 inches on the strip.

LOL!

I plame Al Gore and David Sodzuki for daring to presume teh intentions of Mother Gaia !!!

And of course American foreign policy in teh middle east.

Wouldn't ya just love to nail Gore's bag to a stump and kick him backwards.

Elizabeth May is the poor man's Ethel Merman.

Elizabeth May ... does not speak for me!
Eh?

Crazy Liz May is ashamed to be a Canadian? She really is a lunatic...Hey Lizzie, why don't you go back to the USA where you're from, and take American Iggy while you're at it...Stop tying to sell crazy here, eh, with the likes of Wacko Jacko Layton, Jill Deciet and the whole Liberal party, we're all full up. Why the hell is she speaking on behalf of Canadians anyhow, last time I looked nobody elected her for anything. Go back to where you came from and stop pretending you speak for anyone other then the lunitic fringe, you deranged cow

kingstonlad said: "Of course I kept prodding her, and man, did she lose it!"

Similar (near total freakout, c/w shrieking noises, unintelligible babbling) to a close family member of mine when I asked some pointed questions. For leftists, thinking critically and objectively is usually an option - sort of like preferring basket weaving over science at college (but still getting a degree).

Likely forbidden if a true convert.

"That's a satirical blog, Tim. Fake Al Gore."

Probably inspired by Fake Steve Jobs. The Fake Al Gore site has a disturbing acronym, though, so some human rights commission somewhere might want to check it out and file some nuisance lawsuits.

Today is labeled inter-glacial. Seven or eight thousand years ago, all of Canada was under a big heap of snow and ice. Near as I can figure, that means everything was ground to rock flour.

So what if Gore is wrong? What if in seven or eight thousand years the snow pile returns? Will there be a ceremony for the Last Tree, before that one for the Last Forest, before that books about how It Was Once Warm?

Who will be getting the Nobel Prize then? And for what? I'd vote for the leading AGW-ist hunter.

I am going to sue Goricle and sazookey - i was promised global warming and I didn't get it. Who is responsible for that flub up? Not President Bush...he didn't believe the 'hot air' spouting from the snouts of those flaming fanatics...the media, if they ever step outside, know that the fix is in ...no warming...yet they still shrill in faux horror about melting ice burgs!! Ice does not melt when it is -40 below..the stupidity is staggering.

Lizzy - your Senate appointment is blowing away just like air coming out of a whoppy cushion.

Pick a country, Lizzy, and I'll buy the ticket. But, you gotta promise to never come back.

Where does May get the authority to speak for Canadians? She was elected to exactly nothing. She makes a complete and utter fool of herself whenever she opens her expansive mouth. This is beyond embarrassing. And to think that this steaming pile of bovine excrement was considered for a Senate position?!?

Someone who is really in authority should tell her to STFU and stop advertising the fact that she is Canadian.

All the countries that are follwing the global warming alarmists are in dire straits with their economies
Canada has stayed away from this and we now have the best economy to weather this economic storm
Now arnt we glad lizzy may and the fruitfly are not in charge of the purse strings
