Same old Commie crap from 110 years ago.
Whoever turned off the Palmer raids did fantastic damage to America. We need to find out who that was, dig up his bones, hang them, then burn them, then bury the ashes under a freeway.
The only truth to the coincidence of “climate change” and current global weather patterns is the natural occasion of a period when climate cycles are in the process of nearing a point of “changing directions”; causing the greatest natural disturbance in weather patterns.
Global weather has been experiencing a gradual warming trend (with fits and starts) since the last “little ice age”.
If the rate of “extreme weather” means anything at this point, it might quite naturally mean we are on the cusp of a natural and major “cooling” trend.
Oh! So now I know why the New Jersey Turnpike is buckling and collapsing! It’s global warming - not corruptocrats and the union who steal money which is designated for infrastructure. What a relief!

When an editorial writer turns science into a cartoon character he assumes his audience is as dumb as he is.
NO ONE has ever “denied” the fact that there is climate change. In fact, “Climate Change” is normal, always has been. Once, thousands of years ago, there was an ice sheet a mile thick covering most of the Midwest and Eastern United States. Where is it now? It melted.
Climate change. What has been denied is that the incredibly tiny amount of CO2 that Man has added to the atmosphere is responsible for some sort of climatic catastrophe that never happens, even when Al Gore predicts it. So, to all you Chicken Littles out there, MORON this later.
Climate change is a fact. It happens all of the time, in cycles. Usually over hundreds of years.
If the Star-Ledger Editorial Board thinks that man is causing climate change, then the Editorial Board should stick to journalism, because they obviously don't have a clue regarding science.
I'll give the Board a free clue: climate change is caused mostly by the sun. You know that bright thing in the sky that rises in the east and sets in the west.

Too bad the Star-Ledger doesn’t see fit to print the news that is inconvenient to their point of view, or they could have looked up the following facts in their own archives:
“A shift away from coal and reduced gasoline demand coupled with a mild winter led to an 8 percent drop in U.S. carbon dioxide emissions during the first quarter of 2012, reports the Energy Information Administration. Emissions between January and March 2012 were the lowest since 1992.

Other sources note that US CO2 emissions have fallen further and faster than those of any other country, primarily because of fracking; some say we are on course to meet the Kyoto standards. So the only conclusion to be reached, using the Star-Ledger’s short-sighted and blindered approach , is that the more our CO2 emissions drop, the hotter it gets.
