Beam me to Planet Gore !

Climate change is not only making the planet warmer, it is also making snowstorms stronger and more frequent, US scientists said on Tuesday.
"Heavy snowstorms are not inconsistent with a warming planet," said scientist Jeff Masters, as part of a conference call with reporters and colleagues convened by the Union of Concern Scientists.
"In fact, as the Earth gets warmer and more moisture gets absorbed into the atmosphere, we are steadily loading the dice in favor of more extreme storms in all seasons, capable of causing greater impacts on society."
Masters said that the northeastern United States has been coated in heavy snowfall from major Category Three storms or larger three times in each of the past two winters, storms that are unparalleled since the winter of 1960-61.
"If the climate continues to warm, we should expect an increase in heavy snow events for a few decades, until the climate grows so warm that we pass the point where it's too warm for it to snow heavily."

Ok, so we’ll give you the ‘more snowstorms’ part...
What about the record cold temperatures? Huh? Huh??
The U.S. is becoming a laughing stock!
“Science” is no longer science. It is a political agenda. You can’t believe a word these PAID POLITICAL people say. They KNOW they will loose funding if they tell the TRUTH so they LIE. It is to the point where it is utterly ridiculous - gloBULL WARMING means MORE SNOW. It’s absurd.
more snow = global warming
hotter = global warming
colder = global warming
There, I just passed my Meteorology final exam.
Climategate has proved that global warming is a complete fabrication in order to pad the pockets of the green energy bullies and to implement their anti business, communist agenda.
SNOW doesn't happen when the temperatures are RECORD COLD. What we are going through is a weather change and it happens ALL THE TIME. It is NOT a “crisis”. It is actually getting COLDER out there. Man is not making this happen. It is a natural phenomenal that has been going on since day one. Unfortunalty people are so d** dumbed down they can't THINK STAIGHT and know nothing about REAL SCIENCE. Even COMMON SENSE is FOREIGN TO THEM.
In the Future, Thursday's Snowstorm Might Be a Thing of the Past

It’s a GREEN MONEY GRAB!
Burt Rutan was Time magazine's “100 most influential people in the world, 2004” and Inc. Magazine's “Entrepreneur of the Year.” Newsweek called him “the man responsible for more innovations in modern aviation than any living engineer.” (After this, Time may call him the greatest persona non grata of the year.)
Rutan has received hundreds of awards including: Presidential Citizen's Medal, Two Collier Trophies, Academy of Achievement Golden Plate and the Charles Lindbergh Award. He has developed 44 new aircraft types since 1972 including; Voyager (1986 RTW-non refueled), SpaceShipOne (2004 Funded by Paul Allen, winner of X-prize) and the first commercial spaceship - SpaceShipTwo (2009 Funded by Sir Richard Branson).

Why I studied AGW
“My lifetime work from childhood to the present has been focused on aircraft/spacecraft design and development, with flight-testing being my career specialty. Thus, I have always been challenged to determine the accuracy and meaning of a large amount of disparate data and have often been required to apply those interpretations to development of a product that absolutely must be safe and robust.
“Four years ago I noticed something troubling about the challenges facing the global warming alarmists. I started my research on anthropogenic (i.e. man-caused) global warming (AGW) because, I found to my surprise, that to claim a catastrophic AGW theory as a “proof”, the climate scientists thought they only needed to show that human emissions MIGHT cause a fractional-degree global decadal temperature rise, for an earth that generally varies 20 to 40 deg F every 24 hours and varies as much as 80 to 100 deg F every year – This seemed to be a Herculean task indeed.
“Another thing troubled me - those scientists that claimed that warming is human-caused and catastrophic, tended to be the ones who sought out the media to proclaim their views (an unusual behavior for scientists immersed in the proper scientific procedure). The larger group of scientists that did not agree tended to be mute. This, of course gave the media and some politicians an impression that there was scientific “consensus”, even though it did not exist.
Does not pass sanity check
“Also, an engineer knows it is wrong to arbitrarily select a single theory (for example, human emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) effects) as a ‘proof cause’ of warming. This is especially true when that single-proposed cause is a small effect among the many other possible causes. Pointing to sharp increases of measured temperature and then claiming global warming is due to the minuscule human additions to the planet’s atmospheric GHG, while ignoring the fact that cooling periods are also observed while emissions increase, does not pass a sanity check.”
“Climate expert Dr David Viner, who until recently worked at Britain’s world-renowned Climatic Research Unit at the ‘famed’ University of East Anglia, in 2000 in the Independent made the expert prediction that snow would soon become a “rare and exciting event”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.”

Funny how “warmer means colder” only became the mantra of these science D students AFTER those colder winters started appearing.
Hey, government sponsored leeches - try PREDICTING things with your models and wait to see the correlations.
After-dicting things makes you seem just about as stupid as a liberal.
no kidding. It reminds me of that gag rock weather predicting system that they sell at gift shops. If the rock is wet, it is raining, if the rock is warm, it is sunny...
Let me see if I have this straight.
The “scientist” who wrote this allege that warmer temperatures mean MORE snow and, if we follow that logic, colder temperatures would mean LESS snow! Is that about right?
If so, I call BS right now!

(Global cooling is caused by global warming)
It will be global cooling soon enough. Just like it went from “New Ice Age coming!” to “The seas will boil!” in a few years time
Ya doesn’t hav ta be smart to be a globell warmer scientist...in fact, ya just has ta know how to read the very simple script. Play yur cards rite in colledge and yuz cud get a pHd.
Ya duz hav to be willin to sell yur soul to the comminists, cuz they do call the shots. And ya duz hav to be willin to look purty stoopid some times, like sayin when its colder out, it cuz its gettin warmer...and when the glayshers are growin cuz of all the snow, its cuz theer fixin ta melt.
Ya gotta hav a thik skin, but it$ wurth it.
then what is the problem with global warming then? If it can produce both warming and cold temperate, then I don’t see it as a problem.
Maybe the only thing good about Islam is the fact that an ayatollah could issue a fatwah on junk climate scientists that would lead to their stoning...
