You're bad. You are sooo bad.
You b*st*rd. 
2 weeks ago it was almost hitting summer temps and today they're calling for chances of snow and below freezing temps. 
Here in NY we are having typical April weather....one day cold, one day warm...It's not the first time the Yankees played opening day in the snow...as for all that global warming crap, I think deep down no one wants it more than Algore just so he can feel right about something for once in his life (IMO). Without it the only thing he would have going is hustling waterless toilets to third world countries..
Realize that just because the calendar says it's fall we still get summertime temperatures into October...same thing with winter into spring.
Hang in there, spring is on the way!!!
....what kills me is that there are no Global Warming stories in the press when it's cold like this...but the first hot day then ....BLAMMO!!! global warming this, global warming that, global warming is causing my balls to itch....

I guess you haven't been reading the news then....
what news would that be, your holiness?
I'm not saying global warming is real or it isn't real. I know that whenever we have hot days it's GLOBAL WARMING HYSTERIA...
in the words of some rapper whose name I can't think of..."Don't believe the hype..."

The big UN report that's been in the news constantly over the last few days.
No, I haven't read the whole UN report, only articles written about it. During this recent cold spell I have seen zilch about Global Warming in the Press.
From my understanding, when the full UN report is out in May, contradictions about the whole Climate Change will come to light, which is why 2 months ago they went public saying Global Warming is manmade. In essence, this grabbed all the headlines then so when the FULL report is released the focus won't be on the contradictions and uncertainties contained within. We will see....
ANYWAYS Pope, and everyone else, I hope you all have a happy spring....totally void of U2 and the Cure...
This artic air greatly annoys me that came through. They said it would be felt all the way down to Cuba, which isn't actually that far from here. My sinuses and immune system are all being effected by the drastic weather change. I can't wait for my warm weather comes back.
Lovely and warm here,even at 9 a.m.
Think i may have to go and sit outside the boozer when it opens.....

Probably because the media are as thick and ignorant as yourself. Consequently it only twigs when it's warm. Would the current weather you are experiencing be odd twenty years ago? Probably not, it probably just seems cold because you've had a mild winter.
Simple fact of global warming is that there is and will continue to be a general increase in world temperatures but also more dramatic day to day events. Cold snaps, warm periods, an increase in freak occurrences such as hurricanes, typhoons etc.

I do believe you missed this part:

Why is it when someone says something about how the Press acts, so many start assuming the person is claiming that the obvious doesn't exist?
Springtime my arse indeed.
Last time we had this sort of talk, it was hot as hell. This weekend it's been freckin' cold. What the fook gives!? 
Question, just for fun, PLEASE don't take this too seriously. If the weatherman can't predict next Friday's weather, how do we know 100% what the weather will be like 50, 100 years from now??
Nonetheless, I predict springtime will be here soon, because I saw my shadow this morning and got back underneath the covers.
I know what you are saying. Last weekend it was in the 80's here, this weekend the highs have been in the mid 40's and the lows in the high 20's.
As the girlfriend would say Burrrrr :D

Yeah, well.....they call it 'global' for a reason you know?
I've been down here 21 years and this has been the hottest year I can remember and the worst drought too. The last decent rain we had was in November ffs! Next door in Mozambique, 4 cyclones have trundled through there this summer...it ain't right! Maybe a couple of hurricanes will swing up your way this season and make you reconsider.
It is a shame that the deepest most people will look into global warming is to assume that we'll all end up needing Factor 20 every day, missing the most important aspect of the phenomena.
Most of us will be underwater, so in order to be effective, all sunblock will need to be water-resistant.

Where was Day After Tomorrow set? Wasn't New York was it?!

Hey, just remember that I deal with hurricanes in the summer, and we'll get along just fine.

Who knows? I wouldn't be surprised [or maybe I would? 
] if they tried to name hurricanes like Ian, Barney [ ], Hooky, Steve, Gillian and Phil. 'Cause if that happens and we end up on band names, I'm gonna laugh my ass off. That'll make for serious hurricane records. And I can say I was there.

Probably because the weatherman gets a job for being able to comb their hair properly, wear a suit, and point at things on a green screen, but climate scientists actually have doctorates in hefty things like advanced science.

Al Roker is Willard Scott's love child when the older man got a case of "jungle fever" back in the Fifties
I seem to recall before the weekend, our biggest worry was getting pollen off the car while sweating to death because we didn't have air-conditioning (well, me anyways). Now, I've spent the past few hours in bed trying to sleep off a fever that sidelined me from work today (I'm sure the boss-man was thrilled, of course). What gives?

If straws are all you've got, keep on grasping, eh?
Global warming was invented by governments wanting to justify massive spending on nuclear power when they needed the material for nuclear bombs.
As a bonus, the Thatcher government got to use it as part of the justification to put the dick up the coal industry.
That's interesting about Mars, I hadn't heard that.
