Global Warming My Ass


Isn't there an old saying that goes something like, "If you haven't walked in my shoes you have nothing to say.?" Well I've never completed a bunch of experiments on global warming or read Al Gore's blog but this damn rain is driving me crazy. They say that if you ever need to strike up a conversation with someone you have nothing in common with, you can talk about the weather. Well for all of you out there I don't know, this weather sucks. Since April all we've had is snow, wind, rain and cold. Aren't we suppose to have light showers, soft breezes, and warm weather? I have a love/hate relationship with Fall because Fall means Winter and winter means six months of freezing your ass off for the most part. Now I'm starting to hate Spring because it means Summer is just around the corner. I thought we were experiencing Global Warming? Isn't Global Warming responsible for ice bergs melting .. birds dieing .. fishing floating .. vegetables frying .. children crying .. etc, etc? If there is such a thing as Global Warming, wouldn't we have experienced a 70 degree temperatures by now?

Hi John-

Global warming scenarios will vary as much as the weather! It could be warmer and wetter, warmer and dryer, etc. The key is to look at trends in data.

It's not everyday that Minnesotan's get to see direct impacts of warming like polar ice melting. Ask any native from the northern part of Canada, and you will get a much different answer.

Sometimes you have to start at the basics. Check Ely native Will Steger's website for an update on his latest expeditions and observations

You are joking, right?

Global Warming causes changes in the climate...so along with things getting warmer (like the ice caps) you also have to put up with all the rain, the wind, the cold, the heat, etc.
