Well... looks like that was a total bust.

And now it's global COOLING! Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year

Almost a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than in 2012
BBC reported in 2007 global warming would leave Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013
Publication of UN climate change report suggesting global warming caused by humans pushed back to later this month

Flash back just 6 years ago, to the height of the Marxist push to destroy Western culture and more particularly US energy production.
Now do you get it libs?

There's a nice regional graphic in this piece about Farmers Almanac predictions for a very cold winter, 2014. (You Callyfornyans will not see much difference.)

Actually "cool with near-normal precipitation" means seriously increased snowfall for my area, the Sierra Nevada mt range.
Something I have been saying all Summer, based on wildlife activity, particularly insects.
Another reason I want to buy a bulldozer.

Backasswards Californians! Sheesh!

You simply need to telecommute for Toy, and let THEM bulldoze a way to YOU.

Unless you want to knock down a forest for the wood. Something useful like that.

Remember the Global Warming scam?

Heck, I'm old enough to remember the Global Cooling scam of the early '70s.

Many newspapers carried several series of articles on this (with a "list" of all the world class "scientists" and weather experts that subscribed to the theory).

Yep, it was going to get so cold that mankind would have no choice but to live underground.

Same here, and none of which had a thing to do with mans influence on anything.
To even consider man effecting nature on a grand scale is ego personified.

Yet the socialists played on the ignorant, those that think with emotion, or rather don't think at all.
Funny isn't it, the same LIVs that freaked out over the pseudo science are the same ones that elected a Marxist to the highest office in the land.

OK, it's not so funny, rather a reflection of just how ignorant our populace have become.

And I was so looking forward to owning some waterfront properties.   

That's good and bad news.

Good: I'm feeling 40 years younger! This is a repeat of 1970
Bad: I was REALLY hoping for a tropical planet before I leave this world.

I not only remember the bIg freeze predictiom of
the seventies, I remember Newweek's cover, 'Another Ice Age."   Scientists were sure then, too.  The American people will buy anything.  Even if it comes from Al Gore.

Same here, I was even considering buying property much further North and moving in 3 to 5 years, I think I'll wait and see.
I love snow, but there is a limit, and if we're heading into a colder period, staying put may be a better move, even if it is the socialist state of Ca.

There always Montana yet.

I was considering northern Idaho along the Canadian border, I'll wait.

That's a very narrow strip up along there, shop early.

Prices aren't bad, though I have an edge, I don't need any utilities whatsoever, it's the land close to utilities that demand a higher price.
I saw one parcel 100+ acres for under $75 K.
Again though, if the climate really is going into a mini ice age as has been predicted for years, I'd be too old to enjoy a time when warmer weather comes.

It really does depend on just how screwed up Ca gets in the next few years, if it does, I'll suffer with the cold in Idaho since Alaska is out of the question now.

Ya, I'd forget about Alaska... Way too much welfare/drug/gang activity up there now.

As for CA, you should consider getting out now while you can. The Dem lawmaker majority in the state is very quickly making it unlivable for those who aren't sucking on the public tit.
