Deep freeze in upper midwest (with warmth disclaimer)

Of course, Chicagoans are preparing to freeze their tootsies off, and the media must begrudgingly report this fact. But not without placing a disclaimer in the second paragraph about recent warmth.

cbs2chicago.com - B-r-r utal: Upper Midwest Locked In Deep Freeze:

The forecast high for the day in Chicago is a mere 7 degrees, with an overnight low of 3 below zero. But with northwest winds at 20 to 25 mph, the wind chills will make it feel as if it were 20 to 25 below.

Thus far this January, people across the Chicago area have been treated to a warm spell with one day where the mercury reached a shocking 65 degrees. But with the temperatures plummeting beginning last night, Chicagoans have been preparing.

What we have here is an attempt to discredit cold empirical evidence (denoting really cold January temperatures that are normal for Chicago) using warm empirical evidence (that helps denote climate change). [In case you didn't notice the subtle shift, climate change has replaced global warming as the en vogue catch-phrase, which is meant to allow the Enviro-Zealots a way out when the temps cool off, which they know is inevitable.]

So, which empirical evidence is right? The one that supports the religion of global warming/climate change (with Al Gore as messiah), or the one that says it freakin' cold outside--even for January!

Very sly and sneaky...and stupid. People aren't buying into the hysteria, media, no matter how many corkscrew neon light bulbs you turn on to reduce your carbon footprint.

Meanwhile at the National Weather Service, Green Bay is warned of the coming wind chill problems for the weekend:

Yep, the globe sure is "warming." Please...please...someone bring back the damn global warming!
