As the planet warms because of excess heat trapped by human-emitted greenhouse gases, the atmosphere can hold more moisture.

BTW, I am loving the snow!
Global warming is real. It’s settled law thru executive action. Not so much science though.
We all pretty much knew this was coming. It is a surprise it didn’t happen pre-storm.
They just never give up, do they?
I’m not convinced this caused the massive amount of surface ice on the Great Lakes in recent years.
Right. Surface ice caused by moist air. We will need a Settled Scientist to explain that one to us.
These bozos predict climate change and then shoe-horn ordinary weather fluctuations into their fantasy computer models.
Let’s see now ... would I rather have my great-grandchildren freeze under a mile-thick slab of ice or would I rather see them sweat because the temp rose a few degrees?
Um ... let me think about this ... uh ...
Complete with research grants from the Tides Foundation.
1975 — An Ice Age is coming!! We will all freeze to death! — We must give government total control of our economy!
2005 — Global Warming is coming!! We will all burn to death! — We must give government total control of our economy!
2015 — Climate Change is coming!! Our weather is different every day! — We must give government total control of our economy!
Maybe Goldilocks can broker a deal with the Little Mermaid to pump some vast, hidden heat from the deep ocean waters to help thaw out the northeast. After all, it is settled science. /s
A new ice age would destroy agriculture and starve billions to death.
Hey, but liberals would love that! We are the evil human race and the earth must be cleansed of our presence.
Mars and other planets have seen increase in temperatures in the last few years, I wonder how we did that.

It’s too hot! GLOBAL WARMING!
It’s too cold! GLOBAL WARMING!
The temperature is just TOO stable! GLOBAL WARMING!
QUICK, SAVE US FROM GLOBAL WARMING BY PAYING MORE MONEY TO THE GOVERNMENT!
Oh no the taxes AREN’T ENOUGH! IT’S ALL THESE NASTY POLLUTING PEOPLE EXHALING CO2!! ABORT THEM, EUTHANIZE THEM, JUST KILL THEM FOR THE LOVE OF GAIA!
How did they explain big storms before SUVs were invented? Why is a warmer earth a problem even if it is getting warmer? The climate has warmed and cooled countless times and we’re still here.
Fred Thompson pointed this out in his campaign in 2008.
Global Warming/Freezing/Change is a problem for atheism. If there is no Guiding Hand to maintain the weather cycles appropriate for life the solution is BIG GOVERNMENT.
Gaia is obviously too stupid or wimpish or uncaring. Al Gore/Obama/Clinton to the rescue.
Our saviors want only the power to control our every breath, swallow and defecation to save us from our benighted selves.
Praise our enlightened saviors for caring enough to keep us in cozy caves and fava beans. We are saved. Because God is dead.
Settled Science does not take questions.
Settled Science does not need to explain anything.
Only Deniers would question Settled Science. Only Deniers ask for explanations.
“We all pretty much knew this was coming.”
Of course. IMHO the next big ‘cause’ put forth, as the reason for all suffering will be capitalism, and it will be linked to global warming, species extinctions, environmental degradation, cancer and other health issues, inner city violence, global violence and wars, etc.
