calfoxwc Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 RFK, Jr. 15 months ago: Global warming means no snow or cold in DC By: David Freddoso Online Opinion Editor 12/21/09 1:51 PM EST Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who flies around on private planes so as to tell larger numbers of people how they must live their lives in order to save the planet, wrote a column last year on the lack of winter weather in Washington, D.C. In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today's anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don't own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers. In those days, I recall my uncle, President Kennedy, standing erect as he rode a toboggan in his top coat, never faltering until he slid into the boxwood at the bottom of the hill. Once, my father, Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, brought a delegation of visiting Eskimos home from the Justice Department for lunch at our house. They spent the afternoon building a great igloo in the deep snow in our backyard. My brothers and sisters played in the structure for several weeks before it began to melt. On weekend afternoons, we commonly joined hundreds of Georgetown residents for ice skating on Washington's C&O Canal, which these days rarely freezes enough to safely skate. Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil and its carbon cronies continue to pour money into think tanks whose purpose is to deceive the American public into believing that global warming is a fantasy. Having shoveled my walk five times in the midst of this past weekend's extreme cold and blizzard, I think perhaps RFK, Jr. should leave weather analysis to the meteorologists instead of trying to attribute every global phenomenon to anthropogenic climate change.

Kosar_For_President Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Apparently he was reading the peer review evidence. That stuff is spot on, spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosar_For_President Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 This just in, cities across the nation are posting record low temps and record snow falls, going back one hundred plus years. Does this mean the Earth is getting warmer? Or is it just fluctuating like it has for billions of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
