Dr. Richard Keen writes in an email:

I was a college student in Chicago for the 1967 Big Snow, so here’s a couple of photos I took back then.  There will be lots of comparing of yesterday’s storm with the ’67 snow, so I’ve thrown in some current pictures from the Chicago Tribune of the two storms to compare with my ’67 photos.  Kind of looks the same!

After the storm, I looked under the hoods of a few cars and it was solid packed snow.

Here’s Chicago yesterday:

And another from yesterday:

Now let’s have a look at 1967:

Seriously, Juraj needed to add a /sarc ???
Honestly, that was so obvious I can’t imagine taking it seriously!

What’s so frightening is that so many do.

“To sum up: it’s happened before, therefore the cause is the same.”
We’re supposed to accept that it’s happened before, but this time the cause is different.
Makes me tired…

In logic it is well known that a false antecedent implies any conclusion. That is, if A is false, then

A implies B

For any statement B, whatsoever!
Obviously, the converse is true: the only kind of statement A with this property is false.
Therefore it is natural that, the more outcomes are understood to be “consistent with the predictions of Anthropogenic global warming” the more likely it is that the AGW hypothesis is false.
I think we’ve got ample evidence from the hundreds of stories like this that AGW is a fairy tale.

I come from south western part of India, a place called Udupi. We have seen all the
three weather, Summer, Winter and Rainy; But only until 1989. Later, after 1989, I never felt winter season. Udupi is at the sea level and throughout the year the warm
sea wind keeps the coastal Udupi region humid and hot. But this gets worst around 2001 onwards, the heat here in summer from December to August is intolerable and
then from August to December the Monsoon season we observe heavy rainfall and there is no sign of winter season. Now in 2011 its still the same condition here.
Heavy snow in places where its suppose to be hot climate and Hot climate where its suppose to be snowfall. This is the situation now. Unpredictable climate. Of course this has happened many times from ages. Now in Bangalore India, the garden city of India, we see only concrete forest and rising traffic and untimely rainfall. Bangalore
used to observe a dry and a pleasant weather even in summer, but now in February 2011 we observed hot weather for a week followed by untimely rain and cold weather.
Of course the emission made by vehicles and industries contributes to GW is negligible when compared to the radiation from a Nuclear test and CO2 and SO2 emitted from a Volcanic Eruption.
