Socialists were for Peace with Hitler until Germany declared war on the USSR.

SCIENCE : New York Times Gives Glaciers 100 Year Reprieve
Posted on January 24, 2016 by stevengoddard

The New York Times says glaciers may disappear from Glacier National Park by the year 2050. This is excellent news because a century ago, scientists said the glaciers may disappear by 1950.

Wow, Glacier National Park has 35 more years to exist ... back in 1923, it only had 24 years. That's progress.

The New York Times 29 Dec 1923, Page 5 – at Newspapers.com

Glacier National Park was once much larger, before SUV’s and jets.

Ah, the good old days, when Glacier National Park covered New York State, New England, and Iowa.

RAH, my roomie laughed because I carried sand, cold weather gear, a winter down sleeping bag, food, water and a svea stove all winter in Rochester NY. That was until we almost got snowed in at work during the blizzard of 1977. Then she had me make up an emergency kit for her car.

Buffalo maintains the all-time high for snowfall in a single season, holding the record at 199 inches, all of which accumulated during the 1976/77 winter. Rochester, New York, comes in second, with 161 inches in a season..

“Stay Inside, Grab A Six-Pack…” Here is a brief look at some of the big ones of the past: Interesting that many are in the 21st century.

I remember this type of weather from when I was a kid living near Syracuse “Much has been written about the events of the Blizzard of 77 (January 28-31, 1977). The storm forever linked Buffalo with the arctic although it is a proven fact that our city is NOT the snow capital of America or even New York State. That title goes to Syracuse or Watertown!”

Our dog sat on the garage roof every winter.

The drifts were so high I stepped over the telephone lines.

I figure we are headed back towards that type of weather as the AMO and solar cycle 24 both wind down.

Hey, Rat, that was some real snow cover back in the 70's, huh.

Liberals and socialists are such compassionate people. Compassionate sensitive souls or psychotic monsters - let's see: Fabian Society co-founder George Bernard Shaw KILLING THOSE “UNFIT TO LIVE” “The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it … If people are fit to live, let them live under decent human conditions. If they are not fit to live, kill them in a decent human way. Is it any wonder that some of us are driven to prescribe the lethal chamber as the solution for the hard cases which are at present made the excuse for dragging all the other cases down to their level, and the only solution that will create a sense of full social responsibility in modern populations?” Source: George Bernard Shaw, Prefaces (London: Constable and Co., 1934), p. 296. “Under Socialism, you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live, you would have to live well.” George Bernard Shaw: The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, 1928, pg. 470) “A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.” – Ted Turner, founder of CNN and the UN Foundation ”My three goals would be to reduce human population to about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure and see wilderness, with its full complement of species, returning throughout the world.” — David Foreman, co-founder of Earth First! “The planet is about to break out with fever.. and we [humans] are the disease. We should be at war with ourselves and our lifestyles.” -Thomas Lovejoy, Smithsonian Institution “Global Sustainability requires the deliberate quest of poverty, reduced resource consumption and set levels of mortality control.” – Professor Maurice King ” Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing.” — David Brower, First Executive Director of the Sierra Club ”If I were reincarnated I would wish to return to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.” — Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, Husband of Queen Elizabeth II, Patron of the World Wildlife Foundation ht Gail Combs

Humorous potheads: Marijuana smugglers get high, get so paranoid they call 911 on themselves http://www.bizpacreview.com/2016/01/23/drug-traffickers-get-high-get-paranoid-call-the-cops-on-themselves-297647?hvid=JyKLR Hey Rat, you know you've been on the state watch list ever since Raygun was governor, don't you? And when Raygun was elected President he personally put you on the federal watch list. And that big ranch near you ... what is it called, Shamrock Ranch? You know Koch Industries bought it some time ago. And they and Exxon have their meetings there. They're monitoring you too.
