Ice Age ‘07: Politically Incorrect Weather

Someone apparently forgot to get the memo to winter about the imminent threat from “global warming.”  This story says some areas of New York State have received 100 inches of snow since last Sunday and could get 4 more feet, yes feet, next week.

 

Oh, pardon my ignorance. Global warming, portrayed by internet inventor Al Gore and some really smart people at the UN as the biggest crisis in world history, is now about climate change. So it can get really cold, and that also means it’s warming. And if you don’t understand that logic, you probably didn’t go to the right school.

 

Oh, and today the Boston Globe’s Ellen Goodman compared global warming deniers to holocaust deniers.  Nice. When do the show trials begin?

 

Remember those photos of poor polar bears supposedly marooned on melting icebergs? Did you also see the photos of the Swedish reindeer? You didn’t? The ones starving in Sweden  because the ice on the ground is too thick this winter? Now, there’s an inconvenient truth.

 

Well, do you remember this past hurricane season? No? That’s because there were very few hurricanes of any note. The climate change prophets of doom in 2006 predicted the meteorological equivalent of a disaster epic, with cyclonic monsters out for revenge because of all the damage your SUV did to the planet. Oops. Another no-show by nature.  I live a few miles from the ocean in Virginia Beach and I cannot remember a calmer hurricane season.

 

Hmmm…the weather is obviously not politically correct, even if The Weather Channel now is.

 

The city of Chicago was once buried under an ice sheet that was one mile thick.

 

Want to the earth to cool? Be careful what you wish for.

" Be careful what you wish for."

Indeed

[geopyg]

Weather is not climate.

But, I had to listen to enough people last summer saying "Boy its really hot today, and some folks don't believe in global warming", I guess I can hear the other side as well!

If Al Gore gets an Academy award for his film on global warming I am going to be sick.

There is a lot of junk science in the "global warming" field, but we should at least know what the theory of global warming does, and does not, predict.

"Global warming" is not a prediction that every spot on the globe is going to get steadily warmer each day. It is a theory about climate, not weather.

If, in fact, the climate as a whole is getting warmer, one of the short term effects will be colder weather in North America and Europe, as polar ice melts, drifts into the North Atlantic, and cools the neighboring continents.

the boston globe has recently been experiencing global warming

KILL THE GROUNDHOG!!!!

[pandemoniumreigns]

The question becomes...What is normal?...

Normal temps or sea levals or ice thickness is all relative on an ancient ever evolving planet...

Which begs another question...Why is it that plants and animals must truly evolve without human intervention but not the planet itself...Hmmmm

Yesterday I read a libtard blog about people killed in Florida by the "freak" tornadoes caused by global warming. I responded by asking why he doesn't mention people killed by the cold across the midwest. My question didn't last long before he yanked it but it did spark a lot of similar comments and the idiot ended up yanking the whole blog.

This actually really funny when you think about it. Not funny when you think about the coming heating bills.

The global warming hysteria has been at it's height and we get the big long blast of cold air.
Combined with the washout of a hurricane season (what about the 15 hurricane predication that was scaring everyone a year ago?)

So we have no hurricanes and a really cold winter. Won't make much of a dent in the hysteria; to much global warming grant money out there and to much anti-western, anti-capitalism hate.

What will you do when he gets a Nobel? He has been nominated. Jimmy Carter got one.

"If, in fact, the climate as a whole is getting warmer, one of the short term effects will be colder weather in North America and Europe, as polar ice melts, drifts into the North Atlantic, and cools the neighboring continents."

And can you tell us who of the current meteorologist or climatologist is saying that the current winter blast in the northeast is being caused by melting ice?

[Emmett McCarthy]

It's no longer called "snow". It's "global warming debris".

[SamAdams76]

I live near the New Hampshire border and it has been very cold these past four weeks. It has not gotten above freezing and every lake and river around here is frozen so that you can walk over them. When I go for my early morning walk, it is usually near zero or in the single numbers.

It cold.

What is the "correct" global temperature? It's been both hotter and colder, regardless of human activity. Does the planet have a "normal" temperature? Does the sun have anything to do with what the temperature "ought" to be? Does anyone actually know? What are the tests that have proved that the global warming theories are sound science? How is it the hurricane predictions were so wrong this last season if the science is so sound? How is it that the predictions about the rising ocean levels keep lowering with every UN report?

The guys out on the lake in their fishing shanties are drilling holes through aquatic rigor mortis.

So let me get this straight. If it gets colder its GW, if it gets warmer its GW, if it rains its GW and if we have droughts its GW. GW doesn't mean the whole globe and as the climate gets warmer NA and Europe will get colder, even though the signs of GW are supposedly warmer temps in NA and Europe. Thank you Mr. Gore.

If, in fact, the climate as a whole is getting warmer

I'll accept that it is. The question is why? In my admittedly uneducated opinion, I don't think that we're the major part of it. I sure wish that there would be a true scientific debate on this, not just a one sided left wing diatribe.
