Cold Temps Naturally Caused While Warm Temps 'Consistent' With Global Warming

The media and climate fear promoters appear to be in overdrive trying to spin recent global cooling and particularly the "year without a summer" in many parts of the U.S. [See: Earth's 'Fever' Breaks!

The New York Times reports that the record cold of 2009 is due to natural variations and even warned skeptics of man-made global warming not to be "buoyed" by the brutal cold.
The New York Times' remarkable front page article on July 31, 2009 titled "In New York, It's the Summer That Isn't" by reporter Sam Roberts detailed the record breaking cold summer in New York. The article warned "this could be the coolest summer on record" and "this will have been the coolest June and July since either 1903 or 1881."
But the 2009 article explained "this summer's unusually mild temperatures should not buoy global warming skeptics."
Why? The Times has the answer, noting "a persistent high-level jet stream has sent cooler air streaming from the north and northwest."
Ok. Fair enough, "natural variations" caused a record cold breaking summer in 2009, according to the Times. But the question looms, how did the paper explain record warmth nearly a decade ago? Surely, if natural variations in climate can cause a record-breaking cold summer, then it would stand to reason that record breaking warmth would have a natural cause as well? Not exactly. The Times effortlessly attributed record warmth back in 2000 to man-made global warming, noting the warm temperatures were "consistent" with model predictions.
A March 11, 2000 New York Times article by reporter William K. Stevens entitled "U.S. Sets Another Record for Winter Warmth" had no hesitation in blaming record warmth on man-made global warming.
The article from 9 years ago noted: "Shorter and milder winters are consistent with a century-long global warming trend that mainstream scientists believe has been at least partly caused by emissions of heat-trapping waste industrial gases like carbon dioxide." [Climate Depot Editor's Note: Are the recent global cooling and record breaking cold "consistent" with global warming climate models? See: U.S. Government Scientist's Shock Admission: 'Climate Model Software Doesn't Meet the Best Standards Available' ]
The New York Times article from 2000 continued: "The warming has been especially significant in the last quarter-century, amounting to more than three times the century-long warming rate of about 1 degree Fahrenheit. Computer models predict that the temperature rise will continue at that accelerated pace if emissions of heat-trapping gases are not reduced, and also predict that warming will be especially pronounced in the winter." ''We are beginning to approximate the kind of warming you should see in the winter season'' based on the model projections, especially over the land masses of the Northern Hemisphere, Mike Changery, [a climatologist at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C ] said."
The New York Times article did -- belatedly -- add "the jury is still out" however on the causes of record warmth.
As the Earth has failed to warm, it continues to be great entertainment to watch the promoters of man-made climate fears and their message pushers in the mainstream media contort and squirm to explain the lack of heating. The media, sadly, continues to ignore major new develpments in the global warming debate.

Well, how are they supposed to sell their “green” products and squiggly light bulbs if nobody believes the hoax is true.
We must keep the sham alive! Its a billion $$ industry, dontchaknow.
global warming ping
Why would anyone take what they read in the NYT toxic waste dump as anything other than garbage?
remember the rule:
if it’s HOT it’s CLIMATE CHANGE
if it’s COLD it’s just WEATHER
So man is stronger than nature, except when the earth itself wants to cool down?.....
.....You can't have it both ways.
If man's effect on the climate is soooo strong that it will cause runaway heating and death, then it is not possible for nature to cause cooling.
If nature can (and does by your own admission) cause cooling, then the AGW theory and hysteria is politically driven bunk.
still DOOOOOOOOOOMED
Liberals live in the same world as we do, and, unfortunately, breathe the same air as normal people. But they don’t see the world the same way. Their mental facilities are so impaired by their liberalism that the world looks completely different to them than to normal people.
That’s why it’s so hard to talk to liberals.
Saved by the sun in more ways than one.
Reporters failed math and science from high school on... what other explanation could there be?
Not so well, which is why the news media have stopped talking about it.
those who want to survive...
Sometimes run pictures that tell a story that’s not “your” story...
Make cartoons larger.
Keep the print readable - newspaper readers are older - if the paper’s good, the young will grow into it... if it’s not you’ll never get them anyhow.
Explore new technology - Bill Gates can design a down-loadable flat sheet - don’t fight technology - bend it to your needs.
A newspaper is not a stage for “art-teests” to prance upon - it’s a medium to bring USEFUL information to readers.
Readers interaction happens at the circulation level - monitor that department with your life...
Vanity circulation doesn’t help the people who are buying ads and supporting the paper. Don’t give into it. You offer value and must honestly give value.
Reporters and editors should be fired if they make up quotes, accept gifts ( that included accepting coffee - make it water).
Mix in the best national columnists - again - the paper’s not a stage for local talent - it’s a vehicle for disbursing quality useful information.____________________________ NEW:
Real diversity: Add writers and editors who understand math and science - they have a different and important perspective - then hire a good rewrite man to clean up the writing.
Ever read instructions written by engineers - almost as bad as "science news" written by "writers"...
Add conservatives for diversity of thought and for the 50% of your readers who are conservative.
Man bites dog might be fun to write - but it’s freak show stuff. A little goes a long way. When people say they want “good news” what they mean is news that adds illuminates and explains their community and world.
Some of us think breakfast is coffee and a newspaper - we want newspapers to exist in the future ...
