From the "be careful for what you wish for" files…
This is a photo I snapped this morning (yep-Sunday) of the crew of guys removing snow from my commercial building here in Central NH. While "manmade" global warming’s hucksters and fanatical religious zealots continue to beat their drums in typical frenzied fashion, the reality is that, when you consider the alternative, it’s not a pretty sight. While many have lamented the cyclical (in my opinion) demise of winter in these parts for the last few years, with it’s return in full fury this season, many are singing a different tune.
As buildings collapse all around us due to the heavy weight of record-breaking snowfall, I hear nobody celebrating. As a matter of fact, everybody one talks to is moaning about this winter’s continued onslaught. "We can’t wait for some warm weather" goes the universal refrain. "But this is what we want, isn’t it?" comes my reply. Isn’t this, after all, the opposite of global warming? And before one of you fools out there tells me that all of the snow is the result of global warming, consider the fact that, unlike "normal" winters, even before the global warming hysteria gripped our Nation, we have had almost no warm weather whatsoever this year. "January thaw?" If you consider a couple of days in the 40’s with a spell of rain this year’s "thaw", well, we got shortchanged. In fact, we have burned more wood nonstop this year, than in the nearly twenty years I have owned my house.
Yessiree, when you consider the reality of our weather, and its effect on people’s lives, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that, when it comes right down to it, global warming is actually more desirous than global cooling. Think about that. Oh well- time to get back outside and shovel. After all, it’s what we do… Lately, that’s ALL we do!
5 feet of "global warming"
