Brutal Christmas storm: Is it climate change — or just weather?
HILL ^ | 12/24/2022 | ANDREW PERSHING, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR

Posted on 12/24/2022 10:15:41 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Many Americans are facing brutal cold this Christmas Eve. Freezing temperatures are plunging into Florida and Texas. Single-digit lows in the Plains and Great Lakes, and blizzard conditions are wrecking travel plans, while the same “bomb cyclone” is driving coastal flooding in the Northeast. Is climate change playing a role here?

Weird weather and wild extremes have been the calling cards of a changing climate, and it’s almost reflexive to question how much influence the warming world has in this last angry burst of 2022. Recent advances in the science of weather attribution can offer quick insight — and believe it or not, what feels today like extraordinary conditions might turn out to be surprisingly ordinary.

Climate change is solely political science and has nothing to do with real science. If climate change was real science, they would make clear and verifiable predictions of future events. Then, those predictions either invalidate the theory or re-enforce it.

This is political science, because the global warming politicians (because they sure are not scientists) wait for the an event, and then claim it is global warming which 100% bravo sierra.

“Is it climate change — or just weather?”

That’s it, just knock it off. Enough of this ridiculous BS. Can we just stop posting from the lying propagandists at The Hill? They are just a rancid pile of trash sitting in a land fill.

If climate change wasn’t real lots of us would he underwater right now. The climate is constantly changing, but humans have nothing to do with it.

It seems out of the ordinary because it has been a while since it was so cold at Christmas. It seems to me the “problem” with so many Christmases over the last twenty years is that they weren’t white Christmases in areas of the country where snow occurs, which is most of the U.S.A. A few were more like Easter.

But then again, some Easters that year were more like Christmas than Christmas, in terms of the weather.

But it isn’t as if this hasn’t happened before. I can remember some Christmases featuring sheets of ice.

I used to go to St. Patrick’s Day parades in NYC. Some years I’d last about five minutes it was so cold and would have to head to the bar. Other years, I’d have to head to a bar and hope they were running the air conditioning. Some years I was lucky and it was very comfortable, but even those years would range between comfortable requiring a heavy Irish wool sweater over a shirt and others requiring a light fabric green long-sleeve T shirt with outer sweater tied about my waist.

Ok. I never click on The Hill now. Not since they stopped allowing comments on their leftist articles.

Well it does make for a little discussion.
Otherwise it may just be a boring day on FR.

Boots were made and worn in winter for a reason.

Yes, the climate is constantly changing and always has. The Climate Change “theory” is that humans are the major cause any current warming via production of CO2. That, is utter and complete nonsense. The people behind human-caused CO2 causing global warming / climate change “theory” are not real scientists doing real science. If they were, they would publish real, tangible, verifiable predictions. Then, when their predictions are shown false, the theory would be junked and promptly forgotten, like Piltdown Man. In political science, facts mean nothing, and nothing is ever falsified, and no rules are ever followed.

It's climate change, G-D MADE CLIMATE CHANGE His way of reminding us who's ultimately calling the shots.
I remember my grandmother telling us the hottest summer in NY she could remember was in 1947, same year as the blizzard of century. From one extreme to another in a matter of months. 30 yrs later a similar phenomenon. Months after a bitterly could winter in 1977 where one day snow was on the ground as far south as Tampa


That same year we had a scorching hot summer in NY. Almost every day in July and August temps topped 90F. There were a couple of days when temps topped 100F in parts of the Catskills which is usually unheard of. That's when the enLIEronmentalists who up to that point were pushing global cooling flipped the script. Eventually they just resorted to calling it man made climate change.

I like to read nineteenth-century pioneer memoirs and history. There are all kinds of accounts of extreme weather and people who got lost in it and who were not found until the spring thaw. I read somewhere some speculation that the bison herds in Illinois might have been wiped out when they were stuck in deep snow or starved by lack of food one particularly harsh winter.

It wasn’t climate change then.

It’s weather control being used as a weapon by the Great Resetters.

It’s winter. It’s the weather. This poop that is the big snow bomb of the century is BS - I’ve been through three of them already in less than 60 years - one of them for sure was a lot worse than this one!

Back to some of the “old-fashioned” winter weather we used to have. It’s “weather” - climate change, global warming is a wealth distribution scheme. The elites screaming about climate change give the game away when they fly around in their private jets and object to wind farms in their backyard and dine on Wagyu beef, to name a few areas where they are absolute, total hypocrites.

IMHO.....Neither...it is God Almighty that is ruining the Christmas Holiday Season from coast to coast in the USA, after Fake POTUS,. Democrat, Joe Biden delivered his XMAS speech early and never once mentioned that we celebrate the Birth of God’s only Son, Jesus Christ on Christmas Day!!! Biden claims to be a Roman Catholic...but he is not...not even close!!! Biden is like Obama & Hillary Clinton...they love only themselves and no one else...period!!! Sad...Americans overall...not too bright, tolerates fools like these folks!!! Go figure!!! America, the free state is dying and most Americans are asleep at the wheel!!! “SAD”!!!
