Al Gore, our famous inventor of the internet, says that extreme cold is what we should be expecting from global warming. (well, now they call it climate change, because obviously, it's not getting any warmer!)
here's the problem though- i think they are banking on people's attention spans being only 5 minutes long. when i was a child i can remember having enormous neighborhood snowball fights, with mountains of snow 10 or 12 feet high piled up to make snow forts. but over the years, i've sat back and wondered "where has the snow gone?" and some years, haven't even had a white Christmas. last year, for example, at this time we had RAIN... tons of RAIN.

the warm weather last year was blamed on el-ninio. the pacific ocean cools, giving off much heat into the atmosphere, which lasts for several weeks as it drifts over north america and holds back the cold air from the arctic.

but now the el-nino effect is over, since the cooling cycle has to start over again and build up heat. we get a little snow and suddenly, everybody is huddled around makeshift campfires in their living rooms, burning socks and books to keep warm.

is it just me? am i the only one thinking 'wow... we're having a normal winter here.' ?

besides that, add to the fact that all the other planets in the solar system are also going through the same warming/cooling changes that we are. the process is heavily dependent on the sun, and we even went through a very cold time awhile back that scientists called "the little ice age" where there were no sun-spots for a number of years.

to me... it just is obvious. in January it's cold. in July it's hot. but scientists will say that the sun has absolutely NO affect on the earth's climate, but we need to tax people for breathing in order to cut back on global warming. what? how does taking money out of my purse decrease the amount of air i breath? oh yeah... when you tax me to DEATH the amount of air i breath will be greatly affected!

Let's say you are 6 years old and your brother is 11 and your other brother is 4. Your mother often yells, screams, hits him and your father is always breaking things and taking food off your plate. Your brother has anger issues and often yells at you and calls you pig because your overweight. He calls you a fat pig. Or just disgusting. One day your 11 year old brother pulled a knife out on you, he put it too your throat and told you, if you don't listen to me, you'll be headless! When you were sleeping, you woke up with him sitting on top of you with a knife in his hand glaring at you. He put the knife to your throat again and told you to go clean up the kitchen or he'll stab you. to make sure you clean everything up he will come in the kitchen with you, while holding the knife. Later after your father beats your mother to a bloody pulp, he grabs your 11 year old brother and they go into the bedroom with the door locked. You just hear your brother crying and begging your father stop and hear sharp slapping noises and your father telling him to his ass like that. When your brother comes out he can barely walk, and looked sick.

A week later your brother comes in your room with two socks, sits on your chest and tries to shove the socks down your throat, you couldn't breathe for 30 seconds but your mother came in and stopped it. A week later your father was arrested. Years later your brother says he loves you, says you look great and buys you a new computer.
