Al Roker Wishes 'Global Warming' Term Had Never Been Used
NewsBusters ^ | February 26, 2015 | P.J. Gladnick

In the midst of freezing weather and record snowstorms in the eastern United States, NBC's Al Roker wishes the term "Global Warming" had never been used. Too bad, Al. As the Great Lakes are mostly frozen over due to the extreme cold, you are stuck with a term devised by liberals about twenty years ago to describe what they confidently predicted would happen at the time. Now that Global Warming laughably did not pan out, suddenly liberals and Al Roker are regretting that terminology and are now using the all-inclusive "Climate Change" instead.

Roker expressed his "Global Warming" regret several days ago as he was being interviewed by Larry King about the deep freeze conditions hitting most of the country. Here is Roker who has a degree in communications, not meteorology, moaning about how he wishes "Climate Change" had been used rather than the easily mocked "Global Warming" which laughably didn't happen after Larry King brought up the now taboo term:

When Mother Nature doesn't cooperate with liberal ideology, then change the terminology.

OK, Al, I have a better term for you.

“Scientific fraud.”

Try that one.

Roker will say whatever it takes to insure his name remains on the invitation lists for the Chablis and brie fests on Long Island.

Awww... poor leftists. It had to be global warming because the whole point was that the theory that CO2 emissions were increasing the mean global temperature was supposed to be the ticket to massive government (or better still UN) intervention in the energy and technology sectors. Blaming any and all changes in climate on CO2 emissions removes even the gleam of scientific respectability from the effort, since there is no plausible causal relationship between elevated CO2 levels and decreases in mean global temperature or more violent weather with steady global temperatures.

Greenhouse Effect
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect

By their percentage contribution to the greenhouse effect on Earth the four major gases are:[21][22]

water vapor, 36–70%
carbon dioxide, 9–26%
methane, 4–9%
ozone, 3–7%
The major non-gas contributor to the Earth’s greenhouse effect, clouds, also absorb and emit infrared radiation and thus have an effect on radiative properties of the atmosphere.[22]

Notice that none of the weathermen are using "polar vortex" this year. Everyone is using the term arctic blast....and going back to ye old "jet stream" pictures.

Now where did everyone think that cold came from??? The equator??

Perhaps even Al Roker has noticed that it is cold as hell, so much for “global warming” now its “climate change” or its a lot colder than it was in winters a few years ago. As the communists in Russia used to say, “Forward ... whatever the slogan”.

I remember after Hurricane Sandy he said “I have two words, ‘Global Warming.’” The fool used them himself.

Actually, the greenhouse effect is nothing to do with IR absorption. Vertical convection is blocked physically by the glass roof, and that's why greenhouses warm up. (Even climate scientists accept that).
It is worth noting that there is a "greenhouse roof" in the Earth's atmosphere, too -- the lower-stratosphere inversion blocks warm air from escaping and forces it to move away from the equator toward the poles, thereby keeping the mid-latitudes livable.

From the same Wiki entry about the Greenhouse Effect.

In the Solar System, Mars, Venus, and the moon Titan also exhibit greenhouse effects; that on Venus is particularly large, due to its atmosphere, which consists mainly of dense carbon dioxide.[37] Titan has an anti-greenhouse effect, in that its atmosphere absorbs solar radiation but is relatively transparent to infrared radiation. Pluto also exhibits behavior superficially similar to the anti-greenhouse effect.[38][39]
