I guess if it was 60 degrees it would be Global Warming as well, correct? If you look at history....Europe was growing citrus...YES, citrus during the medieval period which means we were warming even then. We've had ice ages, droughts, warm spells, etc...since the beginning of time. The Climate is ALWAYS changing and there is nothing, absolutely NOTHING mankind can do to influence it one way or another. Remember the same scientists in Newsweek Magazine (circa 1977) stating we were heading into an Ice Age. Uh-huh, thought so. Bob, really, you can’t be serious about the Global Warming.

"There should be no doubt on whether global warming has impacted the planet, especially if you had prior or upcoming plans to travel in the U.S.or Europe for the holidays. " How can you link snow in the winter to global warming? I might not be a scientist but I am absolutely certain that it snows in the winter. And here is a little fun fact for you. At one point most of the U.S. was covered in Glacier Ice but its not there now. It melted. I took a lot of history classes in college and I don't recall ever seeing cave paintings of SUV's roaming the country side. Come on Bob don't buy into this hype. Global Warming....ooops I mean Global Climate Change (we can't say Global Warming any more because it is getting colder) is nothing more than a sham perpetrated by a group of socialists that are hell bent on destroying capitalism. If these guys were really concerned about Global Warming why do they travel to these events in private planes and drive to and fro in Limos. At least Ed Begley Jr. has the courage of his convictions to use a bike every where he goes. Bob,

I share the frustration regarding the outcome of the Copenhagen conference. Perhaps it was too optimistic to assume that 110 countries could come to a common agreement. Perhaps initial binding committments among the G-7 or G-20 would have been a better place to start. More of these global winter weather events should continue to provide a motivation for action.

Although the temperature is now around freezin point, trafic is still difficult throughout most of Europe, and as we continue moving the majority of our freight by truck, many roads are blocked with trucks across them. The Eurostar is finally restarting its service between Brussels/Paris and London with thousands of travelers stranded. The problem was due to the difference in temperature outside (-15C and inside (+20C) the tunnel. On the global warming front, we are very disappointed with the outcome of Copenhagen, as countries have not had the courage to go far enough and take binding commitments, which would have spurred innovation, created new businesses and relieved us from our dependency on oil. All good reasons for doing it. Bob, some news from the European front.
