Shocker:  Global Warming Scam Really About Exporting Our Wealth to 3rd World Slackers
The simple test to see if global warming is true or not is to look at these guys’ predictions. Did they predict the cooling, especially in 2007 and 2008? No way, they were saying that it was going to be warming rather than cooling.

As far as I’m concerned any politician that votes for this kind of garbage is a traitor to the United States.

The other thing is that the money being stolen from us in the name of preventing climate change won’t go to help those living in poverty in the third world. Like most UN programs the money will go to enrich the dictators and thugs in these hellholes. The reason why they are so bad is not a lack of capital. It’s a lack of freedom and good government.

Tulsa World: Snowfall sets record: Tulsa's 6 inches of accumulation easily tops the 1926 mark.
A springtime snowstorm dumped about 6 inches of snow on Tulsa on Saturday, breaking an 83-year-old record.

Pete Snyder, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the previous record for the heaviest snowfall after March 21 in Tulsa was 3 1/2 inches on March 31, 1926. Besides that, he said the city had not had more than 1 1/2 inches of snow after March 21.

"This just shatters that," he said of the old record.
