You need to get a hold of the Church of England before they dump 150 million Pounds Sterling into Al Gore's Ponzi Scheme. They will think that everyone in the USA is like Madoff.

Some talking head said yesterday on a radio show that Venezuela's economy will collapse in the 2nd quarter because of cheap oil. I'm missing the GW connection however. Afaik, most people cut back on driving and other oil use because of the oil cost and failing economy, not because of climate concerns.

It amazes me that you do not see the connection and the results of what you said AND the connections.

Well, someone said it was getting snowier and wetter, so I posted a link that says more extreme weather is a result of global warming.
 
You came back with a link about Chavez and his social oil program.
 
I'm not connecting the dots, but I'd love to hear what I'm missing.

Sorry, that is weather, not climate.

And it's days like this that make me glad I moved south. It's almost too warm in Boise today though (46 in town and 40-ish up at the ski hill with bouts of rain).
 
How are you holding up Kernick?
 
We may as well talk about it since we can't do anything about it (until Al tells us what we can do).

Not too good Steve. My driveway is like a multilayer cake of ice and snow, about 5" deep. I'm debating whether to snowblow down to the base-ice, or leave the snow for traction. On just the base-ice my Jag X-Type (AWD) w/new Blizzaks didn't make it up. Then the question is if I make it up like my Mazda did earlier in the day, do I try coming down, w/o sliding in the woods. I have Graspics, ESC, and ABS.
 
I was hoping for some warm weather to help the melting, but a cold-front's coming in tonight and we're expectin temps. to be 0 - 20F the next week. Fortunately my oil tank was filled recently. I need to run that, as I had a burst-baseboard-pipe in a closed-off bedroom, when just using my woodstove.
 
My hot-tub has snow on it, and is shutoff (to save energy).
 
Besides that, I'm just loving the cold weather.

Bummer about the pipe. I don't guess you can substitute PEX for the copper in that application.
 
The cold does build character.
