His thought was that with a rise in the average global temperature of more than 7 degrees Fahrenheit possible by 2100...yeah, that's right, warmists, keep making silly exaggerated public projections like this - every TV weatherperson in Philly has been busy all week trying to play down the predictions for snowfall this weekend after social media had apparently been spreading the word that we were going to get thirty inches this Saturday - it's funny, after all winter so far they've been painting the worst picture of impending catastrophe with each coming storm, to now hear them all trying to calm the fears that they helped initiate - if the warmists continue to make such unfounded and preposterous projections, they'll soon be as discredited as most local forecasters are becoming.....

Sure…let’s spend $5 Trillion we don’t have to MAYBE lower the temperature 0.1 degrees 100 years from now. It’s important to keep ski bums in their powder. I can’t think of a better way to spend that money.

I remember hiking to the top of Yosemite Falls in January ‘74 or ‘75, before the great drought of ‘76-’77. It was 70 degrees and dry as a bone. After you’ve lived in CA for many decades, you get used to the cycles. Nothing new here.

Dear Prof Scott,

I nominate Cleveland for the Winter Olympics.

Political Chicken Littles claim that a global temperature increase of 0.2 degrees is the end of snow, or even enough to affect snow at Sochi?

It makes you wonder if great lakes shipping will start on-time in mid-March. A lot of Ohio and Canadian power plants depend upon ships getting from Midwest energy terminals at Duluth/Superior to load coal. Rail is the alternative, but Midwest rail corridors are jam packed with crude from North Dakota at the moment.
