Brrrrrr!
Ignore the record shattering freezing weather surrounding you. Global Warming is happening. Please believe me. Oh, pretty please!
That is pretty much the theme of an article by Michael McCarthy, the U.K. Independent environment writer. With this cold weather it must be tough to plead the case for global warming but McCarthy takes a desperate stab at it:
You might think the current weather conditions are almost Siberian – and you'd be right. Britain's most prolonged spell of freezing weather since 1981 is being caused by a huge mass of intensely cold air over north-east Russia, with easterly winds sweeping its glacial temperatures across northern Europe to the UK.
And just as in the 20th century's coldest ever winter in Britain, of 1962-63 – although not on such a severe scale – the cold is being held in place over the British Isles by

The nasty smelling deposits cannot be worse than what the dimocRATS are giving us.
Too cold? Why it's global warming!
I just LOVE it when I can hedge my bets.
I am willing to allow that one cold snap does not disprove global warming. However, I would expect the same rationality in the other direction. One heat wave or hurricane doesn’t prove global warming either.
“Ignore your lying eyes and believe me”!
We had a group of global warming nuts holding signs on the corner the other day. I actually felt kind of sorry for them because it was freezing outside! If the idiots were smart they would only protest in the summer.
Anytime a recent record high temperature was noted or a glacier receded by inches it was trumpeted as absolute evidence of global warming. Now when the decade long decline in global temperatures is so very apparent and hundred year old cold temperature records are being shattered the global warming zealots are strangely quiet. Now we are to believe these Siberian temperatures too are evidence for global warming. Give me a break.
One very hot week in April and we will all be told to “get used to this, it is our future”. One unbelievably cold week (or more) in December/January, and it’s a blip, caused by a fluke, blocked by Omega/Obama or something else.
I call shenanigans. Again.
The Watermelons don't. That's why they switched to calling it Global Climate Change. It's still all our fault but now it's ANY change in climate.
It’s not global warming anymore, it’s climate change. And it’s not about warming, it’s about ‘extreme weather events.’ So all this freezing in the U.S. is a manifestation of global warming you see.
Forget the fact we’ve had extreme weather events recorded back as far as measurements have been taken. The crux of their stupid little theory is that CO2 in the atmosphere warms the earth by trapping heat, causing more evaporation and driving the earth’s weather generating system into high gear. This is how they pin extreme cold and snow on CO2.
Forget the fact that water vapor automatically condenses at around 4% of the atmosphere, forms clouds, and falls as rain, cooling the earth, and thereby stopping the evaporation. Forget the fact that water vapor is over 20 times the greenhouse gas CO2 is and that the impact of natural fluctuations of water vapor swinging between 0 and 4% in our atmosphere dwarfs our miniscule additions to CO2 in the atmosphere.
Forget the fact that CO2 hasn’t risen due to oceans and ecosystems absorbing it. Forget the fact of the sun being a factor depending on it’s energy output. Except of course I’m sure the warmists would say that more solar energy in a global warming scenario would mean warmer temperatures, but has no effect at low levels of CO2.
For all their data and theory, much of which is extrapolating trends for the forest based on one tree, global warming logistically sucks when applied in the real world.
“Paging Baghdad Bob...”
ROTFLMAO
GW climatologists cannot predict the ever-changing past, nor explain the intractable present, yet they unerringly foresee the ineluctable future.
What a racket.
I think I'm going to go dissolve some dry ice in my back yard.
Yeah, yeah, we've been told for many years that if it's cold, that's just weather, but if it's warm, that is global warming climate change.
We didn't believe the warm-mongers years ago and we have far less reason to believe them today.
Salesgirls in China usually go to work in non-heated offices because of the warm climate; now they are freezing there; first time snowed there in 70 years;
