How about if Al Gore just declares victory and goes home?

Does this look like global warming to you?

Snow was piled so high in Iowa that drivers couldn't see across intersections and a North Dakota snowblower repair shop was overwhelmed with business as residents braced Thursday for heavy snow and wind chills as low as 52 below zero.

Several recent deaths have been blamed on the cold. An 88-year-old woman died of hypothermia in her unheated Chicago home, an Alzheimer's sufferer died after wandering into his yard in Nashville, Tenn., and a homeless man was found dead in a tent in South Carolina, authorities said. Kansas City police said a man involved in a multi-car pileup Wednesday died after jumping a barrier wall in the dark, apparently to avoid sliding cars, and falling about 80 feet.

In preparation for worsening conditions, United Airlines canceled 130 flights out of O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on Thursday — about 30 percent of its schedule. Some evening flights were canceled in Atlanta as forecasters warned of up to 3 inches of snow in northern Georgia. Frost on the planes' wings delayed seven early flights in Tampa, Fla.

Sure, I know. The AGW folks moved the goal-posts and now talk more about climate change than global warming, but how come the models didn’t predict this stuff? Maybe it’s just, you know, weather - about which it has famously been said that everybody talks about it but nobody does anything about it; which doesn’t mean that armies of politicians, bureaucrats and scientistas won’t continue to waste trillions of our dollars trying.
