Staff Reports

A storm expected to hit the Triad on Thursday likely will not have enough moisture to bring a lot of snow, forecasters said this morning.

Still, there is a 20 percent chance of snow after 1 p.m. Thursday in Greensboro and a 40 percent chance of snow Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service.

Daytime high temperatures will be in the 30s through this weekend, with lows in the teens and lower 20s.

We are in Global warming, didn't you know?

You should look into the differences between climate and weather.

Why don't YOU tell us the difference panacea?

I agree that cold snaps don't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but then again, we have had to endure the endless yammering about imminent danger of "global warming" every time there was a temperature spike so I can't blame people for pushing it back in the face of the global warming fanatics.

If you really want to educate yourself, go visit the SOHO page http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/ and look at the sunspots during the past summer. You wont find any, which is why I have been predicting an inordinately cold winter. Then you might google the link between sunspots and temperature.

Climate is cyclical with, periodicities ranging from 11 years to 5000 years (or even more if you consider precession), and the entirety of human history is not nearly enough data to make the the kind of sweeping claims that the global warming fanatics have claimed.

Incontrovertible evidence that the Earth is cooling: 4.5 billion years ago, the surface of Earth was too hot for liquid water to exist, meaning it was greater than 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Now 70% of the surface of Earth is liquid water.

So the Earth is cooling -- Q.E.D.

:-D

Laser snot guys prediction about Sarah Palin: "Sarah Palin may have, in one stroke, given McCain the Presidency. Watching the clueless denizens of the Government Class yammer about whether she has enough “experience,” I had to laugh. Nothing shows how out of touch the media pukes and government lackies are than that question."

People should stop getting their "science" education from Drudge and talk radio.

More crazy goodness from snot guy. He promotes racial purity on his blog: "and the dissolution of the disparate races of humanity into a generic and raceless melange with no loyalty to anything beyond themselves or the central government." Not only is this gobbly-gook racial purity stance a bit outdated, its logic is also very twisted. On the one hand he claims that these mixed raced people will believe in individual freedom but somehow they will also be supporters of an all controlling central government. The climate deniers are a strange bunch.

Proponents of the idea of GW have said the average temp has gone up. This does not preclude the chance of snow in the dead of winter. To suggest otherwise merely demonstrates that fanatics reside on both sides of the fence.

Amazing, THE PANACEA had no response.
What's up with that?

So I guess all the people that don't believe in global warming, or climate change (as it's now been named), will happily open their homes to people displaced by rising sea levels. There's a heck of a lot of people on the eastern seaboard and in Florida that are at risk of losing their homes because of the melting polar ice caps and the associated sea level rise. It makes no difference if it snows in Gboro every once and awhile, those icebergs are a-meltin'. Say bye-bye to huge chunks of Antarctica and the Arctic, and hello to hundreds of thousands of new homeless.

The Earth and its patterns are indeed cyclical. Ice ages come and go, as do hot times. With each change, life forms come and go. Humans being a life form that, in fact, does not have dominion over the Earth and cannot control what we have put in motion by spewing CO2 into the air for so long.
