There are creationist UNIVERSITIES in the states that teach that humans and dinosaurs co-existed. Universities whos qualifications are actually recognised.

I'm curious about any possible days off from it.

SNOW DAMN YOU!

Which god do I have to pray to? Is there some sort of specialist deity I can submit a request to for a respectable sized blizard at my workplace?

On the creationist thing -

there was a creationist museum that in the last couple of years ran into some finacial trouble and had to sell off some stuff.

The main thing they were hoping to offload was a mastodon skull. It was (independently dated to be) 45,000 years old. The museum spouted the normal creationist 6000 year old earth shite. I really wanted any potential buyer to ask for proof of age of the skull.

I may strongly deviate from the more common viewpoint, but I am like a giddy schoolgirl right now. Situated in Dublin at the moment, and far as I can imagine, we're supposed to have milder winters compared with you brits.  :) It's everything to do with the rain shadow of the mountain ranges to our west, which helps block the rain that gets carried over to the British isles by the dominating cold fronts of the Atlantic, the cool temperate oceanic climate zone, the common altitudes, icecream, stuff like that. We've been having quite a bit of snow lately, with snowfall throughout most nights and what seems to be a dying out winter anticyclone, so stuff's nice and chilly so far. Love it. Frankly, I wanna have more of it, gives me some cheap yuks. The state of even moderately used roads isn't any worse than that after a mild downpour in the heat of the summer, the roads are as wet as they always are here, only difference is that there's snow by the side of them. The locals up here can't really take any frost round here, nor a few hotter days where the temperature is anywhere above 22 Celcius. It can be mildly entertaining to observe this round here.  :lol: :lol:

The thing that gets me is, 'they' say if there's no change in carbon emission policy, there will be at least a 2 degree change in temperature which will produce massive worldwide climate change. The Met Office said we would have a mild Winter, it's the coldest Winter since 1981. They said is would be a barbecue-Summer, it wasn't. How can they tell what the temperature change will be over the next 50-100 years and can't tell what the weather will be like in a months time (and I've not talking specific temperature, just general conditions). IMO anyone predicting what the temperature will be in 100 years, is taking a massive punt. For me it would be like trying to predict the stock market value in 2110  :?

I suspect the climate models that scientists use aren't as accurate as they would like us to believe. However I also believe that a little 'Green' in our lives won't do us any harm  :)
A generous heart, kind speech and a life of service & compassion are the things which renew humanity

Weather != Climate

Other parts of the world are having milder winters (some parts of Canada are 10 degrees warmer than usual).  This current weather we're seeing is mostly caused by something called the Arctic Oscillation.  Google it to find out more.

Now stop moaning and start building snowmen playing snow guitars.  ;)
