With Washington, D.C. buried beneath at least 20 inches of snow, and with more in the forecast, common sense would suggest global warming alarmists look elsewhere to make the argument to raise awareness for their concerns.
But no, Dylan Ratigan thinks it's ridiculous to suggest all the snowfall totals could cast doubt on the theory of anthropogenic global warming. On MSNBC's Feb. 8 "The Dylan Ratigan Show," Ratigan criticized those who would dare express misgivings about climate change based on the so-called "snowpocalypse."
"Here's the problem - these ‘snowpocalypses' that have been going through DC and other extreme weather events are precisely what climate scientists have been predicting, fearing and anticipating because of global warming," Ratigan said.

“Why is that? The thinking that warmer air temperatures on the earth, a higher air temperature, has a greater capacity to hold moisture at any temperature,” Ratigan said.
What is he trying to say? That if the air was warmed, it will hold more moisture when it’s cold? No. The amount of water the air can hold is based purely on the temperature.
Being a Leftist means never having to tell the truth.
At a Super Bowl party this weekend, this liberal said the same thing. I looked at her and said, “that is absurd.” The shocked look on her face was priceless.
Remember when that's all you ever used to hear?
What changed?
. . And to think I liked Ratigan as host of CNBC’s Fast Money. He was good at that. Now that he has his own show and can express some of his own views on world matters - he becomes no different than the rest of the kooks on PMSNBC.
If it snows, it’s global warming;
If it rains, it’s global warming;
If the sun shines, it’s global warming.
Notice the fascism of the argument.
My God, these knuckleheads treatment this business as if it’s a religion. Fools.
Perfect response. Laughing and walking away is good, too.
“The colder temps aren’t supposed to happen until the Gulf Stream shuts down. As far as I can tell, it’s still going strong. That’s the simple refutation of their AGW garbage relating to the cold weather”
And even if the Gulf Stream did shut down, wouldn’t the effect be felt more in the US Southeast, England and Western Europe?
I’m in Ohio, it’s cold and snowing. What’s their explaination of that?!
This is the Appeal to an Unidentified Authority logical fallacy.
Notice how low the king liar (Owl Gore) is laying? He is skulking around his TN mansion cursing and eating Twinkies. Hope he has a coronary! He’d make great compost.
ANY extreme is the fault of global warming.
Let’s start with the obama administration...
They haven't predicted anything accurately. Your fellow traveler Michael Mann stated that it was a "travesty" that they weren't able to predict the global cooling of the past decade.
What changed the “Ozone Hole”?
It was filled up with “Acid Rain”.
Brains don’t seem to be a requirement for camera time at MSNBC. What does seem to be a requirement for their employment is the ability to flash their knowing, self congratulatory and snide smiles the moment they have something “monumental” to say that the masses can’t understand. They think.
He said what? Hee hee hee hee hee!
Climate Change is the cause of, and the solution to, all of the world’s problems.
Man is a virus, a parasite on the great mother Gaia. Man caused Climate Change and Climate Change will turn the Earth back to its rightful owners, the trees, bunny rabbits and fluffy clouds.
I now return you to your regular scheduled Freeper Thread.
Hey Crip, you guys have more snow down there than we have up here in Cvx!
I LOVE this Gore-bull warming!
