| #13 The article's headline: "World of two halves! Map shows most of Northern Hemisphere is covered in snow and ice" And the Southern Hemisphere NOT covered in snow and ice. Gee, d'ya think it might have something to do with the fact that it's WINTER in the Northern Hemisphere? Just a thought. |

| #11 Why don't you die frozen Oh, sure. And when he finally thaws out and decomposes, it's back to CO2 and more global warming. For CO2 thou art, and to CO2 thou shalt return. Jeez, it's like this stuff just goes around in some kind of cycle or something. |

| #10 you realize that violates SO many of EPA head Lisa Jackson's decrees, don't you? Why don't you die frozen and starved in your soon-to-be-KELO'd-abode like a good little Hope-N-Change plebe? Selfish much? It's all about you? |

| #8 #7 I'm under there somewhere. 5 feet so far this winter... Posted by: tu3031 prolly still creating carbon dioxide. How do you expect sympathy or relief until you quit doing that? |

| #6 There are some 'winterists' who say the current cold and snow are merely the result of natural recurring cycles. But us True Believers and Devoted Followers of The Goracle (tm) know this is an unprecedented event and you have to go back as far as 1967 to find a similar occurrence. (note to those pedantic nerds who object to the use of the word 'unprecedented' along with a historical reference: shut up!) Actually, being covered with snow and ice is a good thing since one of the cures for global warming is to paint roofs, roads, cars and everything else white to reflect heat. Of course, the last time the Northern Hemisphere was covered with snow, this scheme to defeat the heat worked so well we had an ice age for 100,000 years. So let's not overdo it, OK? |

| #5 I suppose I am a buzz-kill Too true, dear Lord Garth. ;-) Fortunately, we appreciate useful perspective, too, here at Rantburg. |

| #4 I suppose I am a buzz-kill but the Mercator projection used exaggerates the polar area. If a different projection was used or if the ice/snow was shown on a globe, it would be much less than 50%, probably closer to 15-20%. |

| #3 The nice thing about burning coal is that you get cinders to put on your driveway when it ices over. |

| #1 Goody. Snowball earth. Quick -- everybody start a wood or coal fire in your fireplace, and keep it burning and throwing off dark particulate soot until we offset the light reflectance. |
