It's May 3rd and it snowed last night, normally we could go out for coffee and complain about it. You know say things like "is it cold enough for ya?" Or "don't know if I should use the boat or the auger for the opener". It's part of being a Minnesotan, we have horrible weather but at least it was fun to complain about, and an ice-breaker (pun intended) with strangers, something to talk about.
But now thanks to AL Gore, we're supposed to be happy that its snowing in May because that means we're not destroying the planet as fast as we thought. And vice versa, if it was 70ยบ and sunny we can't enjoy it, we would just feel guilty while we drive our SUV to the golf course.
By the way, MPR doesn't call it "the weather" anymore now its "the latest news on the climate".

One of the biggest things noticed at my workplace that sadly promotes/supports AGW is how QUIET it has been on the topic this winter and spring. To the majority of us at the workplace its a breath of fresh air and yes, we enjoy seeing the cold and snow across the North American continent and other areas of the northern hemisphere as it keeps the chatter and arrogance to a minimum. Its also fun to watch the backpedailng and rewording of agendas, too.

I get so confused.
Is "the weather" what is happening this week, or is that "the climate"?
What is that that has been going on--with ups and downs--for as long as I can remember (or is that "in history")?
No, "history" started in 1979, right?

Former weather man Paul Douglas used to say "there is a big difference between the weather and the climate". But I say if we can't predict the weather very accurately how can we predict the climate?
