Ignorant Republican Fuck: "Global Warming? It's 30 below!"
Yes, indeedy, got that pearl of wisdom, today. I just gave the thousand-yard stare out the glass. " Man, you're right. Bush did one heck of a job, didn't he?" How else can you answer to such stupidity?

1. I would have stuck his head in some liquid nitrogen and then...
taken a blowtorch to his feet to teach him about climate change :evilgrin:

But yeah, pet peeve #89534854327894: Idiots who deny global warming/climate change because it's cold out. :eyes:

You just never have a truck full of Liquid Nitrogen and an acetyline torch when you really need them. ;-)

17. How can I be an alcoholic, it's past noon, only real alcoholics drink before
noon would have been a better comparison. Thats about as deep as those who deny global warming are. Meanwhile the nit wits are blaming the EPA for stopping attempts to bring back the heavy industries even though no American corporation has said they were rebuilding America's industry, but never fear conservative minds are at work trying to put an end to the evil EPA. Nit wits been wrong about everything in the last 30 years still think somehow they will get it right this time by changing nothing.

7. The amazing thing about cold like this.
We took a good size pot of boiling water and threw it in the air. Instant crystals. Not a drop hit the ground! Beautiful!

8. Its raining in the Antarctic ....... yes Raining.
More rain on the Antarctic Peninsula is speeding a melt of glaciers such as the Sheldon, which has retreated 2 km (1.2 miles) in 20 years and is nudging up world sea levels, a leading expert said.

"Rain is very corrosive to glaciers and at least in part the reason this glacier is retreating," David Vaughan, a British Antarctic Survey glaciologist, said on an inflatable speedboat in a bay that had been blanketed by ice for thousands of years.

"The glacier has retreated since 1989 and left this open water. That's the same pattern for 87 percent of 400 glaciers along the Antarctic Peninsula," he told Reuters.

Vaughan said rain was becoming more frequent in summertime on the peninsula, the northernmost part of Antarctica that sticks up toward South America. The peninsula is warming faster than anywhere else in the southern hemisphere.

10. I've given up trying to explain the deal to them, Iching.
They look at me with this blank look. So, now I keep the trap shut. And, smile. Obama starts in three days.

18. Exactly. Ask a global-warming denier how cold it is at the Poles and they'll shut up in a hurry.

20. I've heard that before. My ex, a physicist who is very interested
in global warming and has researched it himself, says that one sign of a warming planet is weather instability - including hot and cold extremes - as the earth and the atmosphere respond to accelerating changes. It usually shuts people up because they have never heard anything about it and anything else they say will probably sound stupid. :)

28. I always try to explain...
...that the overall increase in temperature puts more energy into the system, causing more extremes, including extreme cold sometimes. But that overall the temperatures are indeed increasing, as evidenced by the melting glaciers all over the world...

Well, not that I'm saying that's what you should have done. Sometimes people are just too dense (to put it politely) to bother with.
