"Frozen Wasteland"

Minnesotans for Global Warming on the blizzards which prove global warming:


Oh, by the way, you're unpatriotic.

Oh, and, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin want to kill you.

Thanks to eddiebear for that last one.

18 From the HA post;

Wait, Nye isnÂ’t a climatologist? HeÂ’s a mechanical engineer? Well, then, asking him to verify anthropogenic global warming is as silly as hiring a railroad engineer to chair a panel on climate change, isnÂ’t it, or in passing unpublished student dissertations s reliable peer-reviewed studies in scientific presentations.

Or a bicycle riding former guitarist passing himself off as an expert and arbitrator because he read some articles about it online in between googling his own name

35 What's weird about that particular Olbermann bleat is that he's calling "the snowiest winter recorded" "extreme."  Surely someone of his impeccable progg credentials read enough Zinn to glean that records have only been kept in the DC area since it was invaded by genocidal white guys and their vile racist mathematics and written alphabet.  As far as he or any other human being knows, it could have routinely snown twice as much in Februaries before that.  But he didn't even stop to reflect on the time before the evil Europeans despoiled the land, or its indigenous inhabitants. 

Ignorant and white supremacist-y.

Yeah, no kidding. I'm just up the road from you and looked up today's average temperature: 60 degrees. It is currently 49 and has been cold for weeks.

As for Olbermann: And, yes, last month was the hottest January on record since satellites were first used to track global temperatures. What happens when the earth warms up? More water evaporates from the oceans, like steam -- meaning for those places where it`s still below freezing, there will be more snow.

Hey moron, it's been below normal temperature pretty much the entire winter where I live and it hasn't snowed here in 20 freakin years, yet Weather Underground says that tomorrow night it could snow 1-3 inches. Take your phoney religion and cram it up your ass.

Prediction of snow "accumulation" in North Florida tonight or tomorrow.  Every sensitive plant in my yard is dead here in Orlando.  So when they say a snow storm doesn't disprove global warming, they're right.  But the fact the last few winters have been much colder is undeniable.  I have a plant which branches with every freeze (a Madagascar palm).  It grew with no branching for several years.  Now it looks like one of those evolutionary charts with species as the branches.    

Ask the frozen pythons and iguanas down in the Everglades about global warming.   But they won't answer because they're dead.  Oh, and reptiles rarely speak. 

Arctic ice has been refreezing since 2007.  The amount of 2 yr old ice is staggering when you look at the satellite photos.

But of course, the cooling is caused by warming.  Natch.

I have been tracking daily highs and lows here for 2 years now and this jan was much colder than last jan. Last Jan was much colder than the Jan before.

A few of us Morons did a little test as well going to out local weather site and getting historical data for 2008 vs 1998. It turned out that on the average for Nov 1998 looking at the average mean temp for the entire month Nov 2008 was 5°F colder than 1998.  That was for the whole country.

If you look at real data that the government flunkies haven't been able to "tinker with" you find that real temperatures have been steadily decreasing.

Of course there are no "weather stations" in the ocean so they can tinker away.

Posted by: Vic at February 11, 2010 12:51 PM (QrA9E)

72 Of course there are no "weather stations" in the ocean

I think that's why they use satellites to measure temps there.   I've done some of that "looking up historical data" stuff myself...still kinda pointless, in that the records don't go back far enough in geologic time to make any sort of pronouncements about "extreme."
