On the other hand you have pictures from a 30 car collision on Highway 401, about an hour east of Toronto:

I wish they had called it climate change from the very beginning! I think it would have been taken seriously but, considering the average intelligence of those in power, it was beyond them to comprehend what global warming actually meant!

We have hills in Pa too. ( Plus an abundance of snow removal equipment too )


My friend Terry was at work when his Dad called from northern AL.

That's one reason that the whole bloody thing has been rebadged as "climate change"; people didn't understand what the term "global warming" really meant.

It might help if they didn't blame money-making scapegoats, too. People made a good few dollars off the premise of "offsetting your carbon footprint".

Im in Florida. I've got my bottled water, bread and I'm holed up in the house. I won't leave till it's safe.

Wait. I live in Central Florida, it's 80 degrees and these jerks can't even drive in rain. You should see the pandemonium that is North Florida right now. I hear they've shut eeeeeverything down. Smh.

On a serious note, I read somewhere not long ago (can't remember where) that the earth actually does have these "cycles" where it gets a lil colder for awhile, then a lil warmer, and it does it periodically and the world hasn't ended yet. And if Global Warming is such an issue, why is the ice thicker in Antarctica now than it was BEFORE global warming...?

Yes, some people made some serious cash on that feel good, do nothing crap. If there's a problem then you fix it. You don't give people a placebo that makes them feel good about waste.

Makes me wish that I had a piece of land and some spruce saplings.

There used to be a very good website called "Changing the Climate", that was run by a group of climatologists, that debunked a ton of those talking points. Unfortunately it appears to be gone now. They talked about things like how a higher global mean temperature doesn't mean less precipitation, how people will point at one pole and ignore the other, the temperature "hockey stick", and a lot of other stuff.

And when it comes to bad driving, we've got that sewn up. This was this morning:

You fuckers in the south can't handle the snow... PERIOD!

I'd like to see YOU drive on a 1/2" of solid ice when your state has no salt, sand, and more 1976 caprice classic on 26's trying to get to the social security office to pick up their check than you can shake a stick at!

See ATL

It's easy to look down off a thrown of hard packed snow that even a baboon could drive in and judge!


Ya bastard

"Could I give you some money and we forget about reporting it to insurance?"

Nope......"You're on candid camera"

SNOW is easy. ICE is another animal entirely. Even with folks taking it easy, there were over 80 accidents in the Austin area yesterday morning before 8am.
