Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) on Thursday panned Sen. James Inhofe’s (R-Okla.) use of a snowball during a speech on climate change. Whitehouse used his iPad to argue that a polar vortex was bringing cold air down to Washington in part because of warmer ocean temperatures.
He said that you could either believe “every major American scientific society,” the Navy, NASA, and Pope Francis that climate change is real or “you can believe the senator with the snowball.”
“You can believe NASA and you can believe what their satellites measure on the planet or you can believe the senator with the snowball. The United States Navy takes this very seriously... You can either believe the United States Navy or you can believe the senator with the snowball,” the Rhode Island Democrat said in a speech from the Senate floor.
Ah yes, Sen. Whitehouse's spew ....

Science requires a controlled experiment and a falsifiable condition. AGW has neither.

I’d go with the “scientists” but the dog has repeatedly eaten up the basic data which is necessary to replicate or verify their findings.

Crazy weather has been around forever. Efforts to blame “climate change” for seemingly unusual cold or hot, ignore recorded history.
Here is an example of “manmade climate change” from 1864. From the book “A Complete and Comprehensive History of the Ninth New Jersey Vols Infantry” by Herman Everts, 1865
CAMP NEAR PORTSMOUTH VIRGINIA...
“March 28 (1864) Heavy snow storm; snowed all night and on Wednesday forenoon; snow from 2 to 5 feet deep.”
Imagine what the climate change fanatics and mainstream media would say if 2-5 feet of snow fell in Portsmouth four weeks from now. We all know they would claim that such a weather event was unheard of and proof that climate change is real.

Yeah? I can use an IPad to show you Luke Skywalker blowing up the death star.

Whitehouse is one of the most batshit crazy Democrats in Congress, and it takes a lot to be up that high in the lunatic world.
To: Libloather
The Democrat senator making fun of the senator with a real snowball is arguing that global warming can make it cold and if we just do as he says, he (a simple politician) can fix things so that temperatures on the planet are just right (not too hot and not too cold).... right... it's not even a decent con...

“Whitehouse suggested that most Americans likely believed in man-made climate change.”
This is the new meme the Climate alarmists are using now.

The Dems have the unimpeachable Dr. Trofim Lysenko as their authority. The world renowned scientist cannot be denied.

Climatology is to science as a grocery list is to literature.

Whitehouse suggested that most Americans likely believed in man-made climate change. “I would submit that if you looked at the American population and you removed the conspiracy theorists… and there are people who simply don't accept a lot of scientific truths… and if you remove the people who have financial ties to the fossil fuel industry… I would be very surprised if you find virtually anybody left that wasn’t prepared to be responsible about climate change,” he said. The bigger the lie, and the more often you tell it....

I actually would like to see what postdictions he comes up with. I have a feeling he would be more entertaining than the conpiracy nuts.
To: Libloather
With all due respect to Pope Francis, in what way is he an authority on climatology?
