Lovely crisp and bright spring morning. Almost worth getting out of bed and coming to work to see it.

They have been replaced by the "Vaca Alegres".
The cost savings is significant but some of the "Low rider" models are a little tough to milk...
The Silicone Valley "Valley Cows" were way too high maintenence. |

Location: Las Vegas | Global warming will eventually bring about an ice age. How it works is simple feedback... the polar ice caps melt, the jetstream snakes violently, sometimes coming from due south (heat waves) while in other parts of the US it comes from due north (getting arctic blasts while the rest of the country bakes; think of a sidewinder's path.) Temperate currents that moderate high latitude continents like Europe fail as the fresh water enters the ocean and kills the currents.
The oceans heat up even more by less ice reflecting the suns' heat into the atmosphere and soaking into the oceans to heat them; this makes for more evaporation, which makes for more precipitation (in the form of TONS of snow when the jetstream is snaking in from the due north).
Eventually, all that ice that used to be at the North Pole, in Antarctica, and in the Greenland ice sheet will melt, evaporate out of the ocean, and fall as snow as far south as the Rio Grande and the Meditteranean in Europe.
Every ice age was precipitated by a rapid increase in global warming. The ice ages that follow global warming are the earth's feedback mechanism to cool the earth and replensish the ice at the poles. Unfortunately, it always tips too far in the opposite direction until the same cycle can ocurr millenia later.
That's the real danger of global warming... what comes afterward, and as ice cores show, often within weeks. (Flash freezing of mammoths in Siberia with temperate undigested buttercup flowers in their bellies... flash frozen where they were eating, for hundreds of thousands of years.)
Bundle up!

Location: SoCal | A hundred years ago, it was predicted that if things didn't change, NYC would be covered in horse sh!t due to all the animals there. 30 years ago, scientists were proclaiming that the world was going into a new ice age. Now it's global warming.
Don't believe all the so called "scientific" models about what's going to happen. They are guesses, nothing more, nothing less. |
