Where in the world is global warming?

Today there is no school because of the arctic temperatures. We don't want kids walking to school or standing outside waiting on their bus when skin will freeze in 10 minutes or less. This morning it was 30 below zero with 45 below zero wind chills! It has currently warmed up to 20 below zero and it is afternoon here. In fact all time record lows were set in our state. Never before in recorded history has it been 30 below zero here I guess. Wow! We won! The sun is shining so brightly, it is hard to realize that you can't breathe in cold this frigid without almost freezing your lungs. Which brings me to the all-important question: where in the world is the global warming we are to be worrying about? I have a hard time being too concerned about the melting ice cap when we are setting record lows and turning into the new arctic region with our own ice caps.

As my uncle said after it snowed in Louisiana last month - "Take that, Al Gore!"

Phil and I lived in ND for awhile, so I know about the cold temps. Not fun!

Stay warm!

We have had the two worst winters in Michigan since the 1960's with cold temps and snow. So like you, i wonder where the gobal warming is also. God controls the weather. We can mess with it, but he is still in control. Dee
