At times like this, I think God is having a good laugh at the people attending these conferences.  Maybe someday they those people will realize that God is in control of the weather, not man.

A good argument for developing technology to put us in control of the weather.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they have the meeting in Cancun this year ;/. Having the meeting last year while a bazillion tons of snow fell over Europe :laugh: =D.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

1) Al Gore claimed that the recent rash of extra cold winters was also caused by man and global warming.

2) Its not, nor has it ever been about saving anything. It is all a sham, revolving around global wealth redistribution.

You underestimate how evil the warmism is.

Say, didn't we go through all this about 11, 12 thousand years ago?  My memory's kinda hazy that far back.

An interesting bit I ran into in a romp through Wikipedia to find out about Fimbulwinter:  the Nordic Bronze AGe

The Nordic Bronze Age was characterized by a warm climate that began with a climate change circa 2700 BC (comparable to that of present-day central Germany and northern France). The warm climate permitted a relatively dense population and good farming, for example grapes were grown in Scandinavia at this time. However a small change in climate between 850 BC and 760 BC and a more radical one circa 650 BC brought in a deteriorating, wetter and colder climate (sometimes believed to have given rise to the legend of the Fimbulwinter).
