There's still ice on Lake Superior.

Just a speck.

I can't decide whether the pictures were of more than one. I believe it was on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel website. Although I could be wrong.; 6/11/14, 8:20 AM
Bruce Hayden said...: The reason that this is both humorous and somewhat important is that a good part of the authoritarian left (redundant?) is still spouting AGW nonsense. The ones who haven't gotten the memos that since it hasn't really been warming for most of the last two decades, it is now Anthropogenic Climate Change (AGCC) or AGCD (climate disruption), etc. President Obama happily announced EPA restrictions last week on coal based on the AGW research. Makes the lie behind the authoritarian power grab just that much more obvious, and, really, humorous. He and his supporters and people are trying to push as many of the little people into tightly packed urban environments, supposedly in order to cut down on their CO2 footprint, but mostly, I suspect, to get better control over them, and give them more reasons to vote for Dems.

(And, for those who tend to defend the Administration here, keep in mind that the AGCC and AGCD hypotheses were built primarily on AGW research. They have even less scientific support, and, in themselves are admission that the AGW hypothesis is false, but AGCC at least is not a valid scientific hypothesis, since it is unfalsifiable).; 6/11/14, 8:35 AM

What does it mean?

I don't know.; 6/11/14, 9:33 AM

Well. They won't kill themselves, you know. Drive that old cop car around the block a few more times.; 6/12/14, 7:23 AM
