MSNBC's Ratigan Blames 'Snowpocalypse' on Global Warming
NewsBusters ^ | February 9, 2010 | Jeff Poor

With Washington, D.C. buried beneath at least 20 inches of snow, and with more in the forecast, common sense would suggest global warming alarmists look elsewhere to make the argument to raise awareness for their concerns.

But no, Dylan Ratigan thinks it's ridiculous to suggest all the snowfall totals could cast doubt on the theory of anthropogenic global warming. On MSNBC's Feb. 8 "The Dylan Ratigan Show," Ratigan criticized those who would dare express misgivings about climate change based on the so-called "snowpocalypse."

"Here's the problem - these ‘snowpocalypses' that have been going through DC and other extreme weather events are precisely what climate scientists have been predicting, fearing and anticipating because of global warming," Ratigan said.

They blamed the Soviets’ finger on the nuclear trigger on Reagan too.

We almost received a mutually assured destruction attack from the Soviets in 1983.

LOL! They can’t help themselves. If we go into an ice age and ice returns and covers all of Canada and northern U.S. they would still say it was caused by global warming. They are certifiable, fortunately the wheels are coming off the global warming bus.

So how does he account for the times this happened 70 years ago? No matter what happens, the cause is global warming. Next I expect to hear them claim that sunspots are caused by global warming.

Gee someone pull out those clips of Al Gore and RFK Jr. where they are predicting warmer temperatures and melting ice caps. None of the prophets of global warming predicted colder weather and nasty winters...quite the opposite.

funny, to us “little people” here in DC it’s starting to look like what will happen with the return of an ice age, perhaps the ice age the fathers of today’s climate scientists warned us about in the 70’s.

Sometimes Ratigan almost seems normal. And then something like this. The GW zealots will not be denied. Any weather event is AGW. And in their feeble minds, to even debate it is heresey.

Shut up, Dylan RATigan.

The colder temps aren’t supposed to happen until the Gulf Stream shuts down. As far as I can tell, it’s still going strong. That’s the simple refutation of their AGW garbage relating to the cold weather

Didn’t RFK predict no more snowfall for Washington DC and Maryland area because of global warming? These guys might be the best contrary indicators of all time.

I remember old time pictures of Steam Engines plowing snow off of the tracks and the snow was as high as the chimneys on those things.

As if promoting AGW in defiance of science for all these years wasn't bad enough, these nimrods refuse to be swayed by common sense ... not to mention all the facts of deceit that have been revealed in the news for the past three months. Ratigan is an ecotard Tool and journalistic Fool, worthy only of MSNBC.

 




Beam me to Planet Gore !
