It has iced over for the third time here in Texas. Gee wizz, I've lived here 18 years and never ONCE have I EVER seen as much SNOW and ICE as I have this season! (I say season cuz it wouldn't be correct to say year, being that we have New Years right smack dab in the freakin' middle.) And all this white has me wondering...... What ever happened to that DUMB Ass with his Big Ol' "Scientific theory" called Global Warming? You know, ...that rrreally smart guy named Al Gore! Where's he hidding at, HUH? A beach house somewhere over in the equator? No, ...I think I should say his Mansion on the beach somewhere in the year-round hot and sunny equator. A mansion he most definatly bought with his tax payer's money and funds from all his other organizations! I'm still waiting for an apolagy and for him to admit he was wrong. Did I miss it?
The guy Obviously never took astronomy class, otherwise he would have learned that our weather and most importantly Global Climates are effected largely by the Sun and the cycles it goes through. Sun Spots play a very big role in this and, depending on the number of them, can have an effect on global temperatures. (As well as other things)
In the 1700's, annual temperatures were recorded to be unusually low for many years. This area of time was called the "Miniature Ice Age". Sun spots them selfs last only about 11 years (I think) and the phenomina where many or only few of them occur at once can last about 20 years (Go easy on me if my numbers are off. I only took the class last semester, but let it be known that I would BET my money on it being correct! All the other facts are right!)

Your lucky you got snow! Over where I live it's not snow just ice.
