Even though Creeper cleaned up piles and piles of chicken bones before staggering home last night, Adrienne and I were still up bright and early to don our new Playtex gloves and clean up the remaining detritus from last nights Twilight Nocturne Lounge benefit concert. (Which was a HUGE success, thanks to all who attended.)
Im too sexy for my gloves, too sexy for my
So, as you might imagine, Im a little cranky this morning which means Im in no mood to deal with a new wave of crackpot global warmists. The latest batch of Warm Fuzzballs claim that they have "evidence linking Arctic amplification to extreme weather in mid-latitudes" caused by you guessed it global warming!
So again we are to ignore our own lyin eyes and instead believe the Big Brains version which has been created specifically to foster the ongoing belief in the religion of global warming. So lets pretend Im game: what do you think is causing these harsh winters, esteemed scientists?
Heres their current theory: its the wavy and loopy amplified jet stream pattern.
I wonder what linguistics clown theyre using to come up with these new, eye-catching scientific terms for their harebrained theories?

Naturally that whole loopy, wavy thing causing all the snow and cold is due to the rapidly warming arctic temperature:
And according to Francis and Vavrus, Arctic warming should make the jet stream more wavy and loopy on average some have called it drunk -- with dramatic weather consequences. WaPo
Drunk - wavy and loopy? Seriously? Do they think Im as stupid as Jonathan Gruber does?
Yeah - Im sorry to report, MOTUS, they do.
More on the wavy gravy theory:
Here's the atmospheric physics behind the idea: Warm air expands, and naturally there is much more warm air at the equator than at the poles. Thus, the atmosphere is thicker at the equator.
Wait, what? atmospheric physics behind the idea? So all of a sudden climate scientists believe in physics again? After having ignored the laws of thermodynamics all these years? Im not sure Im persuaded yet; what else does your big brained wavy gravy theory forecast?
In their paper, Francis and Vavrus suggested that a rapidly warming Arctic should interfere with the jet stream, the river of air high above us that flows eastward around the northern hemisphere and brings with it our weather.
So big deal: Jonathan Gruber had a paper that provided forecasts of his model too:
What we know for sure the bill will do is that it will lower the cost of buying non-group health insurance, Gruber told the Washington Post in November 2009.
If Jonathans big brained theory had turned out to be correct (it didnt) we could have all kept the health plans we liked, everyones healthcare premium would have gone down on average $2500 a year, our doctors wouldnt be retiring in droves and our deductibles wouldnt have tripled and nobody would be uninsured. Butt none of that happened now, did it?
[ObamaCare] will result in individual market premiums increasing, not decreasing, as stated in the Gruber paper, insurance company Wellpoint wrote. Gruber had simply failed to consider key factors in the plan that Wellpoint correctly predicted would add "between 20 percent and 80 percent to the cost of premiums under reform.
So relax, we may die due to ObamaCare, butt were not going to die from global warming.
