Here's a question to the global warming deniers who sarcastically called me a dope during last winter's back-to-back-to-back blizzards on the East Coast: Is it hot enough for you now?
As temperatures topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking records in the nation's capital, and the pavement turned into a skillet, my thoughts raced back to the frigid days of last winter's "snow-pocalypse."
Those were the days, you may recall, when Sen. James Inhofe, a proud Oklahoma Republican friend of the oil industry, and his family built an igloo on Capitol Hill and christened it "Al Gore's New Home." I might now suggest a "new home" for Inhofe: an air-conditioned doghouse powered by solar panels.
But I would be scientifically wrong to make that suggestion, just as Inhofe and other deniers of climate change were wrong last winter when they suggested that any single weather event, whether it is a blizzard or a heat wave, offers evidence of climate change.

The Dems are going to try to push cap & trade thru in the lame duck Congress.
Even the public schools I attended taught me that, in the northern hemisphere, it’s cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
I have been driven from my sailboat in Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island by overpowering heat in the last three hours.
BIG DEAL!!! My log shows that at least once in the last four out of five years the same thing has happened. Exception was LAST summer....weather stunk.
I looked up the “strange occurrence” it is called SUMMER.
Well at least they are pushing this fraud in the SUMMER instead of in the WINTER.
Looks like the author is confusing ‘WEATHER’ with ‘CLIMATE’...
ROFLOL
Translation: A hot summer day is a good reason to implement a socialist command economy.
You have to at least admire them for their audacity.
Perfect Clarence. Just perfect. In another few months it will be -30 here. Get a clue, numbnutz, I'm from North Dakota and I'm all for global warming.
Regardless, that is far more in the hands of God than humans, 'cause we're just along for the ride.
It has been unseasonably cool here in the Pacific Northwest and LA just set a record for low temperature (since 1926). As usual, you can find a warm spot and a cool spot but only one gets widespread news coverage.
Spot reports are meaningless but thankfully most Americans have caught onto the progressives fraud that congress wants to pass.
Surely summmer will show up some day.
That smug buttwart, Smirkin’ Clarence, is nothing but an obama stooge.
Didn’t know that we set a record....thanks.
Some others have or will retire, as in state supported Federally funded Natural Resources. However the World Bank has just approved $4.9-million grant for climate change adaptation projectssupported with $40.45 million co-financing from the Participatory Irrigation Development Project (PIDP) and another US$10 million from the Environment and Natural Resources Management Project (ENRMP), two ongoing government projects which are also financed by the World Bank.
mortgages for people who can't afford them as a way of being socially noble, high taxes that destroy jobs and cause companies to re-locate, perpetual welfare that rewarded single motherhood, a US president bowing to foreign monarchs.
Is there nothing these clowns won't believe in as long as it trashes our country?
Ummmmmm......do these idiots understand that during the summer.....it’s hot? Back in the days prior to Los Angeles geting all the water they needed to survive, temperatures would get up to 135 degrees F. Even today, in the Fresno, Bakersfield area, 115 is not unheard of.
It’s actually been unseasonably cool and overcast in Southern California, Clarence, so I’m not sure I understand your point.
LOL. I have told people that I believe in global warming AND global cooling. It happens daily and seasonally. Both happen due to the tilt of the earth, and due to sunspots.
Lol, I went to a Walter Reed Freep a few years ago in Washington, and in March it was pretty bitter, sleet, snow, rain, etc.
We began to chant:
“What do we want?”
“GLOBAL WARMING!”
“When do we want it?”
“NOW!”
