#1 Ahh hahh, the great bugaboo of our time, GLOBAL WARMING! Just tell the people in Boston that it's getting warmer. I understand next Thursday they might get above freezing again. :P

#2 4thInfVet - That's obviously proof of global cooling. Oh, the horror!

Well, if Gorebot can go to California during a hot spell a couple of summers ago and say that record heat in California was proof of global warming, then record cold in another state must be proof of global cooling, right? After all, Gore (the divinity school flunk-out) must know a lot about the environment - he wrote a book, didn't he?

#4 For those who care about us up in the cold dark northeast, we had a 2-day tropical spell (low to mid-30s). From tonight, we are expected to be back down to subzero temperatures.

So, when will this friggin' global warming thing finally kick in, fergawdsake ?

#5 Maybe someone picked up on this earlier and I missed it: last week I heard that Harvard - of all places - was about to publish a study that debunks the whole global warming theory. The study says(?)that the baseline being used is too recent and doesn't look far enough back. Anyone have any details?

#7 Cheer up, Carl in N.H.- looks like you're in for a MAJOR influx of hot air once the Iowa caucuses are done. As an added bonus, your fields will also be fertilized with a huge load of fresh manure.

#8 Morons... intense cold where you live is an early warning of global warming.

Send money.

Me and Jimmuh are working on the theory of Nuclear Spring Time and it's effect on Mr. Peanut.

Ptah! Danger! Danger! Onion crop in threatened by virus? We should remind AQ that most PeaceKeeper fields require 3 lbs. Vidalia onions a week else, the passive action link fails and the go code is automatic.

#9 Methinks Shipman is spending too much time at Outback.

#10 I heard that there was supposed to be some big symposium on the menace of Global Warming in Salem, Oregon the other night but they had to cancel it since no could get there due to the ICE STORM. True story.

Drinking them 24oz beers, apparently.

#12 I forsee giant mylar balloons in geo-synchronous orbit, freezing out Dear Leaders, Grand Muftis, and Pak tribal areas -- another "cold war"!

#13 Laugh Yankee dogs, but the precious fields of Vidalia are threatened by a virus. If it comes to it... the GA Dept. of Natural Happiness will ban all out of state shipments of onions except to their close friends in North Florida., and you suckers will be left holding an empty panty hose.

Vidalia will not Fall.

#14 Shipman: Ha ! That's a bumper sticker if I ever saw one:

"Intense cold is an early warning of global warming. Send money."

#15 I expect that the either a shield or balloons would be destroyed post haste by Siberian cosmonauts hoping to grow their own ganga crop.

#16 I sometimes wonder if our entire "Scientific Establishment" is on a sustained 'high' from illegal substances. They continue to fight a battle they've already lost, making themselves look utterly foolish in the process. Of course, the "information" industry - with the obvious exception of the Internet - aids and abets these losers, regardless of how stupid their crackpot theories are. The Sun controls the earthly thermostat, and it's turning up the heat a bit. In another 200 or so years, the heat will probably be turned down a bit, and we'll have frost in Vidalia every winter. Likewise probably as far south as Miami. Better get out all those faux furs, Miamians - you will need them.
