Look, it seems to be very obvious to me that people have to have, correction, most people have to have that one thing to believe in that is like a disaster, the end of the world, the Apocalypse, etc... Just before it turned year 2000 people were freaking out about the computers saying everything is gonna crash, we aren't gonna be able to eat, our cars won't work, etc. Then it was and still is global warming, also its the whole Mayan calendar 2012 thing (they even made a movie about it). Since the global warming for the most part people lost belief in, now they are saying the North pole is moving south now. You watch and listen, when people lose interest and stop putting $ into that it will be something else, they will come up with something. Don't forget El Nino either, oh, and the hole the size of Texas in our atmosphere crap too! Wait, I got another, if that don't panic you also remember our atmosphere is starting to not reflect and is starting to pull in now, its gonna pull in asteroids! Oh God help! Come on already people chill out, when are you gonna really see its all about getting your money or tax payer dollars which is still your money. Don't get me started on the solar flare junk about the sun either cause weren't they saying a short time ago like two months ago or so a solar flare came off the sun because a solar storm on the sun and it was going to hit Britain or somewhere? Britain is still there isn't it, I don't remember in the news hearing it was blown up, burned up, people being incinerated or that it was burned down. Just ask yourself this question, or just wonder, when this news came out how much money was sent to some organization or another to research, to watch, or to plant that money to hide or hold? And what happened? Did the money get returned? Better yet, did you hear anything about any money? Probably not, cause when chaos is happening or suppose to happen what are you worried about the most? Is it what your country is doing with tax payer dollars? Should it be? Do you wonder what the government's other hand is doing when the other hand is talking about chaos, end of life, Apocalypse, etc? Like most people probably not right. But how many times does this cycle have to repeat before you start to realize hey something smells fishy? Or am I just considered to kinda be like the person that cried wolf too many times? Just some food for thought.
Lol if people on here believed in global warming why are they driving jeeps?

Just south of Houston, TX it's 24 here. It's never supposed to be that cold here, ever. I know it's not as bad as most everywhere else, but the fact is global warming is a sham as stated so eloquently above.

Keep your global warming, I'll run over it in my Jeep!

Pollution is a problem, but global warming? Nope. Every travel via airplane?as you take off and leave the city look at the skyline and watch it turn brown. There is a big disgusting brown dome over every city. Makes you wonder what you're breathing down there. You wanna stop pollution? Close drive through windows. Think of the millions of cars idling at the hundreds of thousands of drive throughs across this country alone.

Default DANG! Close but ...........



Came close a few years ago. It was up in Pittsburg New HAmpshire @ Lopstick Lodge (First CT Lake) For a sec it went to - 26*F but could not get the camera out again in time. It's in the Dodge and I had later found out that that night it dipped to -36*F while we were sleeping.


The record is –46°F (All Ambient temps) and we came close that night.
