are you kidding? it is BECAUSE it is a Democrat city that overtime wages went to ‘special’ crews. Time to get RID OF THE UNIONS!! Cities and taxpayers will save their butts if they do so, otherwise, they are going to go down the same road as Detroit.

The crews have tried phoning in hours before, but you can’t hear them over the TV in the sports bar.

OH, now that’s a tough one…have to think on that…

Can’t we have both?

you are such a boob! That would mean conditions were worse 100 years ago and who knows how bad when records were not even kept. You my friend are a candidate for a plexiglass bellybutton. That way with your head buried so far up your deep dark place you can at least look out and see something.

Stop your brainless green denial of the obvious truth that Global Warming is a flat out lie! Al Gore and all of his minions need to be arrested and their ill-gotten gains “redistributed” back to the real people. Arrest all insider plunderers of our economy: the EPA, the Sierra Club, all environmentalists, all Global Warming enablers, with in governments and outside of them, any Demos of my former party who’ve helped destroy our economy! Anyone who’s done any research knows that 1,000 years ago the earth was MUCH WARMER than it is today.

You want proof positive? The fact that the only solution that you Earth-warmers offer is to raise my taxes and take more of my income is all the proof that I need. You believe in it? You pay for it…

>this CLIMATE DISRUPTION is proof positive we are destroying our “MOTHER GAIA”

I believe the term is “Mother Gaga.”

Just plain stupid. Did you ever think what that idiotic statement means? Weather has nothing to do with climate? Why are Liberals so blind to basic simple, basic physics? How can this be climate disruption if we had similar snow storms over a hundred years ago?

Switch to decaf.
And read a science book once in a while. Amateur.

If global warming keeps up we will be snowed under into a new ice age. That anyone still clings the global warming….now called climate change….scam is beyond me. Though Ringling Bothers pointed out there is a sucker born everyday. And by the way….what caused the Feb 1896 record? Wasnt global warming. It was cold then right? So, then it was from cold but this time around its from warming? Folks….this is not science anymore….it is all media BS.

Snow in Chicago comes from moisturize in the Gulf of Mexico or Pacific Ocean. The COOLER the Ocean the LESS Moisture.

You are such a boob! That would mean it was worse 100 years ago and who knows how far back when records were not even kept thus making you a perfect candidate for a plexiglass bellybutton. That way with your head so far buried up your deep dark place you would at least have a porthole to see out of.

Hey Matt:

I don’t recall seeing you in the neighborhood…for you see, I DO have beachfront property in the Keys.

Rush is smarter than you could ever aspire to be.

The argument isn’t whether there’s warming (indications are there isn’t any but…) it’s the influence of humankind on it. First, “scientists” (this includesPhD’s and engineers, many of whom have no experience in the field) say the problem is CO2. But they don’t tell you that CO2 is an effect, not a cause. Then, they go on to NOT tell you that human contribution to CO2 on the planet is next to zero. Did you miss that day?

We sent him to you and ungraciously, you sent back Rahm Emanuel. Thanks a LOT.

And have you read the information available? Spend a little time and you’ll find out that carbon dioxide increases occur after global warming segments…not before. And yet we’re concerned about CO2. And have you looked at the percentages of CO2 that are created by man vs. other sources? Miniscule to the point that, even if CO2 WERE the cause, it wouldn’t be coming from man. Please. Don’t send others in search of information you haven’t read yourself.

Hey Ken:

If overpopulation is a problem, why don’t you lead the charge into the great hereafter?

We’re right behind you, buddy…

The agency charges about 1300 per year of data.

Boy are you an idiot. Did you even make it though high school? Let me guess, you got D’s in math your whole life. That’s usually the sign of a gullible fool you know.

What a genius and a mind reader. I didn’t know bigotry had anything to do with disagreeing with global warming. Dude, the believers changed it from global warming to climate change because they were tired of looking like fools every time they held a global warming summit during record cold temps in whatever city they are in. Lastly, since you portray us a wife beaters I’m going to go ahead and assume you’re some left-wing kook who wants to marry your dog or goat or something sick like that because, hey, you’re in love and it’s only fair.

PLEASE! Don’t feed the trolls.

(Mr unFriendlychicagoian works for little al)

I happen to be scientist. IF climate change were indicated it is very odd that raw data, methods and models are not publicly available. Here’s a few easy questions.

1). What is the normal climate? Is it a single system or multiple climate systems?
Without a normal base line deviation cannot be calculated let alone differentiation normal variation let alone the cause of such variation.

2). How does this climate model account for events like volcanic eruptions, solar eruptions, earth quakes etc? Recall a single event in Iceland shut down air travel in Europe.

3). Were tree ring and icecore samples of elevated carbon a precedent, concurrent or an antecedent to prior warming cycles? Assuming cause and effect vs an ambiguous correlation why wasn’t a proportionate delta in carbon seen in cooling cycles.

4). Data integrity: Where are the gauge studies and instrument calibration records? In order to validate that data modern methods would need to have been in place from the moment those statistical methods were invented. Unlikely, so the data is flawed and yet there is no discussion of the impact on the conclusions. Recent data is qualified by declaring some data sets are modified because of such problems. The potential impact of these modifications is not discussed.

I can go on but ya get the idea.

Ha, ha, ha FriendlyChicagoan. How easy you to fall for whatever you are told. No need to do any research of course not Gore says it’s so. He has no education in any of this, but he says so and of course all you liberals just follow along like the good little puppies you are. You sit at his feet waiting for him to tell you what to do and think just hoping he will toss you a treat for being a good puppy. But don’t you fret your little man Rahm and his tutus will keep you nice and warm. So you be the good little pup you are and go lie down and someone else will do the heavy lifting. We know how you metrosexuals are a bit light in the muscle area and heavy lifting really hurts those soft hands of yours.

Yes, I AM a scientist and I’m really pi$$ed at the “scientists” who sell out for grants to promote junk science.
