It has been mild too long for us to have a really long cold winter!  We had feet of snow and far below zero in October last year.  Here it is approaching the equinox and it is 45 degrees and above, or at freezing weather, forecast for the next ten days.  I guess I will venture out to put insurance dry sugar on top of the colonies who are clustering under the cover.  Half are still down in the lower box.  I don't know what part of the world is getting my allotted cold but I feel for them and hope they are doing the ice fishing I don't have ice to do.  One of the things the vandal Julian Assange and wikileaks did was release huge dumps of information detailing how the Weather God proponents of Climate change were discussing how best  to cook the books to keep that farce alive that we have huge amounts of warming.   The Pleistocene which convieniently ended when scientists wanted to differentiate themselves from cavemen, had 28 ice ages interrupted by temperatures much warmer than we have now.  As for me I will just warm my face in the sun and thank God and his Son that they keep winding the clock.  Merry Christmas to all.

Here we've been running near average high temps for this time of year, but the night time temps have been 5F+ above normal.  No real arctic blasts yet.  Bees are looking good here too, in the bottom of the boxes.  I read the book "unstoppable global warming" recently.   An interesting read about ice ages and the warm periods between.  We are currently in a warm period BETWEEN ice cycles.

Historical records show that yes, it does warm up between waves of ice.  Warming up isn't anything new.  The book also says the data shows a cycle of warming about every 1500 year rather people are around or not.  Clearly things have not been constant in the past nor should we expect them to be in the future.  Nothing is constant but change.  Lots of variables at play, maybe even CO2  :-\

You know, there is a reason why the Vikings named Greenland, GREENland  :)

Well God made CO2 and ignorant people too didn't he.  I guess some folks won't be happy until we've completely destroyed the planet.  And Greenland was called Greenland as a code so people who heard of it would want to go there instead of Iceland, which was much more habitable and green.  Crafty boys, those Vikings.

The duplicitous naming of Greenland is a far stronger theory than global warming has.  CO2 has been far higher in days before man was burning anything or was even around.  The whole thing is an expensive hoax to enrich those harvesting tax credits with windmills and making solar screens in China.   In the sixties when I was in high school, they were dropping coal dust on sheet ice to see if they could melt it to stave off the oncoming rush of imminent glaciation!  Give me a break!  But climate change is a fine religion .

Frameshift, we're not talking religion or politics here!  Calm down  :-D 

I DID say we are warming up.  Do you think we are cooling down  :?

Ice cores show it was warmer (and greener) in the time of the Viking too if you care to look it up.

Well, we don't seem to be talking about bees.  I think this needs to move to the Coffee House.
