How cold was it?

It was so freeking cold that a Raven was jump starting a squirrel just to get him going. I know, its an old joke but I'm not kidding. At last look, it was minus 35 C and with another 5 degrees, thats 40 and it doesn't matter whether it's celsius or farenheit. 40 degrees is where the two scales meet and that's just cold. For our friends south of the 49th parallel, that's cold enough to make brass monkeys sing suprano.  I don't know if I'm misspelling the words here but the autospeller keeps underlining in red. Maybe its just never seen those words before. Anyway, the point of all this rambling is Hey Al Gore where the heck is your global warming now.  I don't think we should be worried about global warming as much as we should be about global freezing. A week and a half ago it was plus 10 now the temp has dropped nearly 50 degrees. It's going to take a lot longer than that to warm back up. Sure there are a few countries that fail to control pollution but they aren't the ones that are going to change. North America is at least looking at the science of change and the technology costs billions. Don't expect changes over night.
This debate is not done yet so here's a little thought for you to ponder. The CO2 content was much higher than present in Roman times i.e.: the 6 & 700s AD. Those chariot horses must have let off a lot of gas for the content to get that high. Check back tomorrow and I'll provide the facts. In the mean time, bundle up.!
