#2 There is a Miss Climate Change? Who would have known besides Al Gore? Next, you will tell me there is a Miss Flat Earth Society and a Miss Luddite.

#4 I'm a real fruitcake
Watching the snowflakes
And all of the shovelers in their hard toil
It's coming down harder
There's food in the larder
The tea on the stove is beginning to boil
Freezing my ass in Winter Wonderland
Hoping the snow will start tapering off
Al Gore claims Global Warming's to blame
He's a nut, It's all Winter's fault

#5 Because of strong economic growth and Merkel’s decision to phase out nuclear power, Germany is set to miss Merkel’s target of lowering carbon dioxide emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2020.

She choose poorly.

#7 To top it all off, I understand that electric power rates have gone up dramatically since going off nuclear.

#10 Snow fell in the Sahara Desert yesterday. It must have galled the crap out of CNN to have to report this but I think all those polar bears are gonna be OK for one more year.

Germans love to protest - give it a week or so.

#12 Regarding snow in the Sahara desert... With the fall of ISIS, good economic news in the US, Iran facing uprising, clearly hell has been freezing over lately.
