Of course you could counter by asking "How many refills do you get out an egg-carton before it falls apart?"  BTW - I know this is weather and not climate, but we're expecting snow flurries tonight, and a high of about 40F tomorrow. Since this is rather cold and I don't see it being any warmer until mid-April next year, I again pray for that arctic or Greenland warming to come this way.

Then tell them to "stick THAT in your paper bag".  Who the hell are these people who want to lecture you on how to run your life as if you are too stupid to make your own choices. Usually they are just puppeting some BS given to them by someone running an adgenda. "Useful Fools" I think Stalin called them.

Temperature for speech breaks 125 year old record for low temperature. Dear Members of the Harvard Community, Although today's weather will hardly remind us of the serious problem that is global warming, today's event - the Harvard Sustainability Celebration, with a keynote address by former Vice President Al Gore - will go on, as scheduled, in Tercentenary Theatre with a program beginning at 4 p.m. We very much hope that you will attend and enjoy the festivities. Starting at 3 p.m., we will be serving hot cider and soup to keep everyone warm; please dress for our changeable New England weather. Henry Longfellow, onetime Harvard professor and longtime Cantabrigian, once remarked, "The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain." We sincerely hope that, this afternoon, it won't rain. But even if it does, Harvard celebrates Sustainability with spirits undampened. Sincerely, The Sustainability Celebration Committee Office of the President http://www.green.harvard.edu/

Replying to: gagrice (Oct 23, 2008 6:43 am) Perth Be Smokin' !!! Perth is officially in the grip of an October heatwave, with the temperature rising above 32C for the third consecutive day - a new October record. It is also the fourth day the mercury has gone above 30C, beating a record set in October 1969. Yesterday’s minimum of 21.3C was the second warmest October night recorded in Perth since 1991. The maximum temperature of 35.7C recorded about 2pm made yesterday the ninth hottest October day since 1996. |

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Oct 23, 2008 7:26 am) Nothing in this country surprises me anymore. When an old hack politician can generate $100,000,000 on a scam that convinces people their SUV is making it warmer half way around the globe, anything can happen. Ain't America grand? PS They better be running those SUVs off the road in Perth to cool it down a bit. Send them all to NE where they are freezing their a___ off.
