We? You live in any of those places? I hear in Australia, they're experiencing the opposite, record heat.

Roy Spencer reported that December 2009 anomaly comes in at 0.28°C above the long-term average.

Global cooling is upon us again.

Cold grips much of US, Fla. races to save crops


The Gulf Stream is the only thing keeping coastal Florida from having a freeze. A stubborn cold wave locked freezing temperatures in place across the central and eastern U.S. Wednesday as far south as Florida, where farmers worked to salvage millions of dollars' worth of strawberries and other crops. Hope the polar bears appreciate what we are going thru for them.

GHG's, water vapour, CO2, et al, are not pollutants.
Try learning about science before you spout off about it for a change.
Put water in your car's lubricating system. I can be a pollutant. Drink too much water for a while. You'll find out how polluting it can be.
A list of GHGs is below and you say none of them are pollutants. You're scientifically illiterate.

I thought the earth was supposed to be warming?
Well, the oceans are and they comprise about 71% of the planet. Most of everything else is subterranean and gets hotter as you go deeper. Oh, but we have a record low temperature in Podunk, Missouri. :roll:

Not just Podunk... just about everywhere.

These are Shag Harbour parts, sold by mistake, at a military surplus store in eastern Nova Scotia in late 1977. They are still in their foil packages. Very good quality.

Does the foil make great hats? I really need some foil hats.
