-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Saudi deserts are blanketed in SNOW and ice following extremely rare 'historic hailstorm'
2022-01-23
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Snow and ice covered the dunes after temperatures dropped below freezing, prompting locals to enjoy the weather and have snowball fights

  • Saudi Arabians flocked to Jabal al-Lawz, otherwise known as Almond Mountain, in the northwestern region of Tabuk, as snow covered the area

  • Earlier this month, others gathered in Badr Governorate, southwest of the city of Medina, to experience snow

#7  "A few Gore’s MIS-Predictions"


1. Rising Sea Levels – Why did Al purchase an beachfront mansion!

2. Increased Tornadoes – Actually activities are declining for decades, according to Weather.gov data

3. New Ice Age in Europe 2015 – it never happened.

4. Melting Arctic – false – 2015 alone represents the largest refreezing in years.

5. Polar Bear Extinction – actually their numbers are increasing! Plus we now have Brown(Griz?) / Poplar Bear hybreds

6. Temperature Increases Due to CO2 – Opps no significant rising for over the last 18 years.

This hysteria and apocalyptic fear mongering started back with the 1970 Earth Day predictions:

End of civilization in 15-30 years $$$$$ maker. No matter how you count we are still here beyond the predicted end of the world.

A new ice age by 2000 or the recent 180 opposite. Where all the of the East Coast is under water, due melting polar ice caps gone by 2010 (yep! missed that one also.)

#5  ...I was in the Magic Kingdom Jan - Jul 95, for what was called the 'Spring Break Rotation' - a full WEEK of rain and hail that pretty much paralyzed the place.

Best part was one fire-breather who was determined to show that we could, in fact, get to work. Now, this involved taking the only direct road from al-Kharj to Prince Sultan AB...which traversed a hundred-acre sewage lagoon that was pumped full daily by the city of al-Kharj. Fella found out that there was more than sufficient effluvia to float his Land Cruiser...and since he ended up (mostly) submerged in it, he was awarded a series of gamma globulin shots, a letter of reprimand, and an early trip home.

#2  You must be new to the Climate Game. Ice and snow are a sure indication of global warming. Along with heat, rain, drought, floods, tsunamis, meteors, and weather in general.
