    Please, somebody speed up the process. I can't handle much more of this. The snowpack is already up to my waist and now they're predicting 10 more inches in the next 2 or 3 days.

    Bring back the Hummer.

    So I step out onto my front porch not knowing it was a sheet of ice. The next thing I know I'm looking straight up at the sky on my lawn. I then gather myself and struggle to my feet. Luckily nothing was broken. As I struggle to my car I realize that I'm beginning to slide down the drive way, so I do what anyone else would, I grabbed onto my car to stop the slide........but being covered in ice it was not meant to be. At this point I said just screw it!!! So I sat down on my ass and went for a ride down the drive way. Undaunted, I rallied for a counteroffensive. There is no way in hell I can ever make it up the glassy ice covered drive way, so I go around walking on my lawn with crunching sounds below. As I make it to my car, I try to open the door, but of course, I am unable to because it is covered in ice. I then find something to chip the ice away. After about 15 minutes or so, I have successfully chipped away at all the ice I have access to, but the door still won't open. Then in a blind rage I begin to pull at the door handle violently. In a split second of pure delight, the door handle gave way, but that second was short lived when I realized I had torn the door handle completely off the car.

    At this point I just tucked my tail between my legs and called off work.

    It's no longer called global warming, it's now "climate change".

    Get with the program!! 😠

    Yes, I know. I'm not trying to impeach the global climate change science based on a *really* nasty winter. I'm just sick of this winter.

    I think we have a bipartisan agreement there.

    Funny cartoon, but seriously if any outcome proves your argument, perhaps the equation needs to be seriously reconsidered.

    Well sh76, kudos for understanding the (apparently very complicated) distinction between weather and climate.

    All they need to do to prove climate change is to show the change in climate.

    Everyone knows that before humans came around the climate never chanaged and species never went extinct. It was a regular garden of eden.
