Thank god for global warming!

Well if is was not for Global Warming I can only imagine that this picture might have been 20 below this morning:

 

 
 
Then there was this when I threw a cup of boiling water into the air this morning and it all vaporized before hitting the ground

Yea, same reading here in Blairstown.  Freaking cold. Has been a long time since I saw these temps.  Lowest I recorded here was -19F many years ago, but never such a long period of just bitter cold.  Wonder who had the coldest temp.  Malusa possibly up in the hills of Sussex County?

[Old School 611]

Thermometer read -10f

 

Phone says -15f

 

So I'm toasty...NOT!

 

Oak Ridge not far from Mark

funny you post this now, I just tossed out the back door a half cup of leftover water, some landed on the bbq and froze mid stream as it dripped down the side!

I blame Al Gore

[jm1827 284]

Not bragging, but it is a balmy -2 here in Monmouth county!

[Malsua 1,422]

Surprisingly, the top of the mountain was NOT as cold as the valley today.  I hit -8.  Vernon, 700 feet lower than me hit -14.    When I travel from work at 50ft to home, it's not unusual to be 10 degrees colder.  Typically, it's 3 degrees colder from just down in Vernon.  Sussex county Airport was -15 this morning.

Nothing that man does can change the course of nature.

[Old Glock guy 1,127]

We had -6 here in Wayne, which is the lowest temperature I can ever remember seeing in my life.

those that believe in global warming, will try to tell us that these kinds of extremes can/do happen due to global warming. then when you point out the patterns, they start pulling shit outta their asses.

[Displaced Texan 11,757]

I find it very arrogant that men think they can effect the climate on this planet so adversely by industrization.

 

The naturally occurring events in the cosmos have put this planet through FAR worse than mankind could ever dream of doing.

 

This planet, and the cosmos, will kill mankind and every being on the planet LONG before mankind develops the capability of doing so.

On a good note Natural gas prices are down. Could have went down even more except Obama killed the pipline deal to keep Warren Buffets trains bringing in the oil.

You, and they, have to be freaking kidding.  The series starts at 1880, the earth is hundreds of thousands maybe millions of years old.  Such an analysis is akin to looking at a persons income for life and say that for an hourly worker his income is on a major decline looking at a week that he only worked 15 hours.  It's horse crap.  Weather, climate, whatever changes - that is nature.  Even if one could show actual warming there is nothing that ties it to man, and nothing that proves it is bad.  I can argue that warming is a great thing as it might save us from the next ice age in the event of major volcanic activity or a major asteroid hit both of which would block sun light for decades.

To deny that global warming has been occurring is ridiculous. However blaming global warming solely on humans/ industrialization is just as ridiculous. It has been proven that over the life of earth it has gone through warming and cooling trends well before humans were ever around. Are humans adding to global warming? Probably, but there is no evidence that humans are the sole reason for global warming.

Exactly........

 

In 500-1000 years..... when the trend reverses.....   They will coin a new term for it...

I can remember a few winters back in the 70's when it was often in the single digits, and even a few days below zero.

The earth is approximately 3.9 billion years old.

 

Just sayin.

Right. The 150 or so years we have been recording temperatures are an insignificant statistic, there is not enough data to come to any intelligent conclusions.

[mipafox 438]

Holy crap. I don't think it has hit -9° since I have lived in PA. I don't remember it ever getting below about -5° anywhere I lived my entire life.
