How freezing temperatures are starting to shatter climate change theory
Snowfall: Two mongrels enjoy today's fresh snow in Austria - the earliest snow since records began
In the freezing foothills of Montana, a distinctly bitter blast of revolution hangs in the air.
And while the residents of the icy city of Missoula can stave off the -10C chill with thermals and fires, there may be no easy remedy for the wintry snap's repercussions.
The temperature has shattered a 36-year record. Further into the heartlands of America, the city of Billings registered -12C on Sunday, breaking the 1959 barrier of -5C.
Closer to home, Austria is today seeing its earliest snowfall in history with 30 to 40 centimetres already predicted in the mountains.
Such dramatic falls in temperatures provide superficial evidence for those who doubt that the world is threatened by climate change.
But most pertinent of all, of course, are the growing volume of statistics.
According to the National Climatic Data Centre, Earth's hottest recorded year was 1998.
If you put the same question to NASA, scientists will say it was 1934, followed by 1998. The next three runner-ups are 1921, 2006 and 1931.
Which all blows a rather large hole in the argument that the earth is hurtling towards an inescapable heat death prompted by man's abuse of the environment.
Indeed, some experts believe we should forget global warming and turn our attention to an entirely differently phenomenon - global cooling.
The evidence for both remains inconclusive, which is unlikely to help the legions of world leaders meeting in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new climate change deal.
There is no doubt the amount of man-made carbon dioxide, the gas believed to be responsible for heating up the planet, has increased phenomenally over the...

From the Daily Mail to the San Francisco Chronicle, the word is being spread.
Al Bore will just have to find a way to tax the snow.
It doesn't exist. Never did. The temperature goes up. The temperature goes down. So Al Gore, et al, stopped calling it "Global Warming" and started calling it "Climate Change." I call it: "The Weather."
Where’s Al Gore?
I distinctly remember him being out there a few years ago, during a summer heat wave, talking about global warming, and that a summer hot spell was evidence of that.
So, I expect Al Gore to go to Montana and comment on the cold early fall weather there. Of course now GLOBAL WARMING is now called CLIMATE CHANGE so they don’t get called on changes in day to day weather.
And the apologies from all of the hoax-pushers, top to bottom, are due to arrive in 5... 4... 3...
Ok. The announcement that crap and tax is being abandoned is due to arrive in 5... 4...
Ok. The announcement from the EPA that breathing isn’t destroying the environment?
Climate change legislation including Kyoto?
Refunds on carbon trading?
Reversal of cafe standards?
Guess not.
What global warming? In much of the U.S., we are already in the deep freeze and it’s still October...much too early for all this. We’re expected to get frost here tonight, about 2 or 3 weeks earlier than normal. And out west in the Rockies, they just had a major snow/ice storm. Bleah!
Them there polar bears are still endangered....ask Gore.
The climate changes here from Summer to Winter every year. Sometimes colder sometimes hotter. When the weatherman can get it right two weeks away it is a rare occaision. I think Algore is insane.
I was lucky enough to sell my house and move to a smaller, much better built, and nat gas heated home.
I won’t miss paying a king’s ransom for propane.
I think it’s gonna be a cold winter here in Indiana.
Ask God.
They wouldn’t listen to science so now they are being rebuked by the weather.
“Them there polar bears are still endangered....ask Gore”
Yup, the same them there polar bears whose population is increasing.
But to dim-bulb-crats (to whom math is magic) more is less.
We had snow on the ground here in Vermont this morning. Pretty unusual for this time of year.
The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways. ;-)
It’s all a hoax that covers the greeniew real Kool-Aid belief:
Humanity is a virus infecting the earth mother goddess Gaia.
And there are the words to that wonderful song.
This is my Father’s world.
Oh let me not forget.
That tho’ the wrong be oft so strong.
God is the ruler yet.
:)
Oh NOES! It’s cooling!
Oh NOES! It’s warming!
Oh NOES! It’s cooling!
Oh NOES! It’s warming!......
Uh, wait a minute......
(In Fred Rogers voice), “Can you say sunspots? I knew you could.”
Global warming, global cooling, doesn’t matter as long as lard ass Al Gore makes a buck.
Don’t count on global warmers chilling out anytime soon. The warming scam is too big to fail, and the swindlers who stand to profit off of it know how to stick to a lie.
To those of us from the Bay area, that’s the “San Francisco Comicle.”
I got to thinking today - why is the govt so exercised about the flu? We’re always being told that the US consumes too much of the world’s resources - what better way than a pandemic to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions? The govt. should welcome the pandemic if it was being consistent.
I went on our annual Octoberfest camping trip in the woods of NH last weekend.
I froze my frigging butt off.
I still remember the good old days when Algore was all about "urban sprawl." Haven't heard about that in a while.
Believe it or not, here in MN, the average date of the first measurable snowfall is Nov. 12. [My Mom’s birthday, she’ll be 92, if she doesn’t burn the house down..;-)]
Anyway, it snowed Saturday, it snowed yesterday and it is going to snow tomorrow and Thursday, into Friday....
LOL, don’t worry the Commie-crats will bail it out with cap & tax.
He must be kicking himself now. If only he had guessed that we would see colder weather in the short term and predicted global cooling which would shorten growing seasons and lead to mass starvation, his taxing scam would be picking up steam now. He could have blamed that on Carbon Di-Oxide or the decrease in the frog population due to almost any evil human activities (e.g. listening to AM radio) which would have to be taxed. And it just gives Tipper more reason to call him a loser.

Quitter....

You wouldn’t believe the number of Obama signs in the Bemidji area last year.
Second only to the Ron Paul signs.....
Our next door neighbor in Prior Lake saved her beloved Wellstone yard sign and displayed it during political campaigns. She has a nice safe state job in the Department of Labor.
Well(stone), Imagine that!!!
I'm not so sure about that. These stories are becoming more frequent in the drive by media including Scripps Howard news service and the NY Times.
Cap and trade taxes will make everything manufactured and transported more expensive and kill any chance for private sector job growth with expensive energy.
I love it when we are right. It happens all the time but I still love it. :)
Gore has an answer to this phenomena. He claims this is part of the process effecting climate change where there will be extremes both ways. So he’s taken the liberty to cover all the bases for his junk science. His climate coin is the same on both sides. He’s such an idiot. But the idiot has believers and followers. Course, so did Jim Jones.
Regardless, this is not about some idiots who have convinced themselves they can control the climate, and now seek to convince others that they really can. This is about controlling people and their behaviors.
Maybe. My prediction is this: as the data becomes incontravertible, the issue of Global Warming will simply disappear down the memory hole. it will simply never be referred to in the media again.
Good news, but not the whole story. For obvious political reasons, the drive against CO2 will continue, but be disconnected from the root global warming "scenario." It will simply become an eeevil pollutant that must be fought on its own merits.
Soon, it will seem as if we have always been against CO2 and no one will remember quite why it seems that way.
I imagine that the snow was an interesting contrast to the foliage.
It must have confused the tourists, who forgot if they were there to ski or to leaf-peep.
I will never forget what these lame brain big government pukes tried to do. They wanted to cool a planet that was already cooling. And who knows what black ops programs have been done to cool the planet even more.
this is the idiot paper that told idiots to believe in this stuff in the first place.
That’s frightening, actually. Thirty percent of the people polled still think global warming should be a point of emphasis. Who are these stupid people? Mind-numbed robots.
Sympathy for The Devil from Tennessee
Please allow me to introduce myself:
I’m a man of wealth and fame.
I made a movie everyone’s seen
About the cause of climate change.
I made a bundle off of all the lies;
When they’re revealed it’ll be too late.
I show it all around the world and say
There’s no more time left for debate.
Pleased to meet you,
Hope you guess my name.
But what’s puzzling you is the
Nature of my game.
I was there when they passed cap and trade
And I shouted out with glee.
I was counting all the carbon credits
And the money flowing to me.
I received a Nobel Prize for Peace,
And acclaim from Hollywood.
All the while, I’m raking in dough
And pretending to be good.
Pleased to meet you,
Hope you guess my name.
But what’s puzzling you is the
Nature of my game.
Just imagine the waters rising
Covering islands in the sea.
Just imagine malaria spreading
And people dying in the heat.
Think about the polar bears dying
From the loss of polar ice.
Don’t you agree that it’s mankind’s fault?
Say, “Yes,” and don’t think twice.
Pleased to meet you,
Hope you buy my line.
I’m not surprised that you’re scared;
It works every time.
One thing alone concerns me now,
A minor little flaw.
It’s that the earth’s been cooling off,
And the poles refuse to thaw.
I’ve got to make my money quick
Before the people are awakened.
I’ve got to get out of Dodge real soon
Before they see they’ve all been taken.
Pleased to meet you,
Guess you know by now.
I’ve been playing you, and I’ve
Got my millions now.
(Fade out…
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Turn off that microphone.
No, there’s no more debate.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Don’t care about the science now,
The data’s all erased.
Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh.
Fingers in my ears,
I can’t hear you….)
Oh the irony. I want to meet one of those “people” one of these days and ask them why they haven’t volunteered to go first.
Where’s Al Gore?
Last week he gave a speech in Wisconsin at some university and even reiterated his mantra about the vanishing polar bears. That’s just when this last round of Warming” got serious.
Me, I think Gore’s being shown up by a MUCH Higher Power just who’s who.
Nice lyrics. Always wondered which came first. The Gore surname or the gore verb.
