Another record-breaking winter (the last several winters have been extremely cold, icy, snowy, miserable, and deadly). These winters have followed cool summers too, though you'll always find a news story proclaiming whatever year it is to be 'the hottest ever.' Yet, the liberal indoctrinators continue the hue and cry about climate "denialists," even after numerous climatology scandals and empirical evidence surface to demonstrate the complete, utter failure and dishonesty of manmade global warming theory and its proponents. The boondoggle has been exposed long ago.
Of course, the global warming alarmists, the faithful, and the zealots will continue to say that the record cold PROVES global warming is real. Just like record heat PROVES global warming. Record ANYTHING to them PROVES global warming. It’s all bullshit. Empirical data proves nothing except that this is one muddy picture, and that’s just the way alarmists like it. The easier it is to snow (no pun intended) the more intellectually challenged among us, the easier for them to consolidate social and political controls to reshape society in the way they deem “Earth friendly.” Capitalism is rejected and socialism is embraced in a clandestine way.

Climate science, even at its most uncontroversial, could never motivate the remaking of the entire global energy economy. Efforts to use climate science to threaten an apocalyptic future should we fail to embrace green proposals, and to characterize present-day natural disasters as terrifying previews of an impending day of reckoning, have only served to undermine the credibility of both climate science and progressive energy policy.

A recent study has found that global warming has impacted the nature of symptoms experienced by obsessive compulsive disorder patients.
Climate change related obsessions and/or compulsions were identified in 28% of patients presenting with obsessive compulsive disorder. Their obsessions included leaving taps on and wasting water, leaving lights on and wasting electricity, pets dying of thirst, leaving the stove on and wasting gas as well as obsessions that global warming had contributed to house floors cracking, pipes leaking, roof problems and white ants eating the house.

Oh yeah, Bill Nye The Science Guy? Well, alarmists are socialists trying to force radical wealth redistribution in the world to "solve" the problem of global warming. In other words, alarmists believe that capitalism's use of fossil fuels has put us in this mess. Ye shall know them by the company they keep...and since Bill Nye hangs with Heidi Cullen and Rachel Maddow, I guess we know where he stands--he's a leftist.
You know what? At least debate is finally happening now; I guess Al Gore's proclamation of debate being over doesn't hold water.
I dug Bill Nye when I was a kid (when he taught science and not politically-tinged science); I'm not a fan anymore. Bite my ass, Bill.
Bill Nye, the Science Guy, agrees, going so far as to tell MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that scientists who doubt climate change's manmade origins are unpatriotic. "If you want to get serious about it, these guys claiming that the snow in Washington disproves climate change are almost unpatriotic -- it's as if they're denying science," Nye said.

More poetic justice and irony. Baltimore breaks the snow record set in 1995. Winter weather records are broken in Chicago, D.C., and Philadelphia. Empirical evidence to stick in your global warming pipe and smoke.
Apparently, in an attempt to head-off the constant, recent chipping away at the global warming religion, the leftwing NYT will publish a story tomorrow that blames all these record winter blizzards on GLOBAL WARMING! That's right! When it's warm or there's NO SNOW outside, that's warming caused by heat-trapping, man-emitted greenhouse gases. And when there's a record-setting blizzard, that's warming caused by heat-trapping, man-emitted greenhouse gases. Nice scam, huh? When it's hot, it's warming. And when it's cold, it's warming. This way, the alarmist psychos never lose, LOL!
If we're really honest (and most of us who aren't 12 years old can remember the 1970s or much further back), these record weather events--blizzards, tornado outbreaks, hurricanes, and heat waves--have always happened. If we grab Almanacs and stare back even further, we see that THEY'VE ALWAYS HAPPENED. But those facts won't stop the Kool-aid drinkers. Just as the recent climatology scandals won't stop them.

Ostrich with its head in the sand. NOW WHO'S THE DENIER!?!? It's up to you American voters to show our government that you're not going to stand for this alarmism BS and all the government intervention that it entails.
WASHINGTON -- Top White House science officials defended the validity of global warming research against repeated Republican attacks Wednesday that cited leaked e-mails from some climate researchers.
The e-mails from a British university's climate center, were obtained by computer hackers and released last month. Climate change skeptics contend the messages reveal that researchers manipulated and suppressed data and stifled dissent.
In the first Capitol Hill airing of the issue, House Republicans read excerpts from at least eight of the e-mails, saying they showed the world needs to re-examine experts' claims that the science is settled. One e-mail from 2003 was by John Holdren, then of Harvard University and now the president's science adviser.

Yep...he said it: The WORST SCIENTIFIC SCANDAL of our generation. The American liberal news keeps ignoring this story (or dismissing it...in one case), but they do so at their own peril. They've refused for years to even give a faint amount of positive coverage to scientists who disavow global warming alarmism. Now, the chickens are coming home to roost...KARMA!
Remember, these are the characters feeding the doomsday scenario to the U.N. via the IPCC, and that body is trying to establish global governance over all our lives in terms of energy production and consumption.
Our hopelessly compromised scientific establishment cannot be allowed to get away with the Climategate whitewash, says Christopher Booker.
A week after my colleague James Delingpole, on his Telegraph blog, coined the term "Climategate" to describe the scandal revealed by the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, Google was showing that the word now appears across the internet more than nine million times. But in all these acres of electronic coverage, one hugely relevant point about these thousands of documents has largely been missed. The reason why even the Guardian's George Monbiot has expressed total shock and dismay at the picture revealed by the documents is that their authors are not just any old bunch of academics. Their importance cannot be overestimated, What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

I hadn't seen an article like this in a while, so it was overdue. This time--added atop the huge mound of animal extinctions and natural modifications claimed at the hands of global warming--Scottish sheep are believed "shrinking" at the hands of a warming climate.
The only things shrinking are the public's belief in this global warming garbage and the size of the alarmists' brains.
And yep…it’s the LA Times. Many more like this to read in the Animal Death-Watch series and the warmlist.
LA Times: Sheep getting smaller in Scotland due to climate change, study says
Along with polar icecaps and sandy beaches, sheep on a remote Scottish island are gradually shrinking as a result of global warming, according to a study published today in the journal Science. The finding offers unusual proof that large animals are already evolving to adapt to changes wrought by climate change, experts said.
The average weight of sheep in the feral flock has been falling nearly 3 ounces per year since 1985, the researchers reported. The cumulative effect has been a 5% reduction in total body size.
Is anyone out there awake? Is anyone else seeing all this? Pounds upon pounds of empirical evidence stack up like cord wood every year, and no one is even the slightest bit swayed against this global warming stupidity?
On the contrary, everyone on the planet is ready to do a little zombie chant and follow BHO right over a cliff; we’ll obviously do anything he says, so long as he looks and sounds good when he says it.
I swear this is that 1984 Apple Super Bowl commercial; yes, that trendy nod to George Orwell, except that I’m waiting for the runner to sprint in and launch her sledgehammer at Obama and Gore on the giant screen.

Burping of the lambs blows roast off menu
GIVE up lamb roasts and save the planet. Government advisers are developing menus to combat climate change by cutting out “high carbon” food such as meat from sheep, whose burping poses a serious threat to the environment.

Environmental alarms raised over consumer electronics
PARIS — Charge your iPod, kill a polar bear?
The choice might not be quite that stark, but an energy watchdog is alarmed about the threat to the environment from the soaring electricity needs of gadgets like MP3 players, mobile phones and flat screen TVs.
In a report Wednesday, the Paris-based International Energy Agency estimates new electronic gadgets will triple their energy consumption by 2030 to 1,700 terawatt hours, the equivalent of today's home electricity consumption of the United States and Japan combined.
Ice melt fears feature prominently in the empirical arguments of global warming alarmists. However, as shown time and again on this blog and others, they’re full of crap.
Now comes a story from the Australian News.com which puts this fear-mongering into perspective. The Wilkins Ice Shelf in the Western Antarctic was alarmingly trumpeted in the news recently for its apparent melting, but the same article made no comment on the Eastern Antarctic WHICH IS GROWING. Once again, the media tries to spin stories by the facts they leave out—same continent with two different stories, and which side does the media jump on? The one that points to warming, of course. The story is the same in the Arctic; ice is getting thicker, not shrinking like some media stories have asserted and predicted.
In reality, the Antarctic Continent is cooling as a whole. But the EPA and other like-minded environmentalist fruitcakes and opportunists only have so much time remaining to get the maximum socialist benefit out of this scam.
Antarctic ice is growing, not melting away
Ice is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap.
The results of ice-core drilling and sea ice monitoring indicate there is no large-scale melting of ice over most of Antarctica, although experts are concerned at ice losses on the continent's western coast.
Antarctica has 90 percent of the Earth's ice and 80 percent of its fresh water, The Australian reports. Extensive melting of Antarctic ice sheets would be required to raise sea levels substantially, and ice is melting in parts of west Antarctica. The destabilization of the Wilkins ice shelf generated international headlines this month.
Really? And this is the same 1970s where scientists were predicting a coming ice age? So how accurate was their data then, if the predicted frozen apocalypse didn’t come to pass? One must have an accurate baseline to say that the current level of ice is somehow different or declining. The last sentence I highlighted below from the article really says it all: There is no way to accurately measure ice over the Great Lakes. If that’s true today then it was certainly more so in the 1970s, given the technological differences.
Did they really just imply that the last two winters were ‘mild’? Interesting. Oh that’s right…Fox just linked to the AP article. AP…now that makes more sense (not the article but the intent of the article).
Do you need more fear about "warming" to get you through the day, warmaholic? Read the GASP! series or the warmlist to get all you want! Warming causes everything bad!
Ice Cover on Great Lakes Declining, Scientists Say
CLEVELAND — Ice cover on the Great Lakes has declined more than 30 percent since the 1970s, leaving the world's largest system of freshwater lakes open to evaporation and lower water levels, according to scientists associated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
They're concerned about how the milder winter freeze may affect the environment. But they're also trying to come to terms with a contradiction — the same climate factors that might keep lake ice from freezing might make freezing more likely if lake levels drop due to evaporation.
Scientists at the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan, say global climate change can be at odds with regional climate patterns. Accurately measuring ice cover across a lake system that spans 94,000 square miles in the United States and Canada is no small task, they say.
If this isn’t beginning to convince the thinkers among you that we’ve all been fed a giant lie then I don’t know what will convince you. Another in the long line of ridiculous "solutions." Slow the economy and tax wealth. Cut the population. These all sound like the slogans of the proletariat in preparation to slaughter the bourgeoisie; it could be China, it could be Soviet Russia. That’s because this is socialism versus capitalism at its very heart—it’s merely disguised as environmentalism to save the planet.
UK population must fall to 30m, says Porritt
JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society.

The oft-appearing melting-collapsing ice fear tactic. According to the alarmist researchers (who were recently stranded from all the cold at the North Pole), this prediction will come to pass in 100 or more years, far after your death, as a result of what you’re doing right now: being a capitalist. You won’t be around to say whether they were right or not, and neither will they.
Remember, even partially submerged ice displaces water (Archimedes’ Principle); don’t believe all the fear you read. Since we’re all making predictions, let me say that I believe that it’s LIKELY that the ice sheet WON’T collapse in your lifetime or even in hundreds of generations from now, because pontificators of future doom have been notoriously wrong in human history.
The climate varies naturally over time—it’s more like a waveform than a flat-line.

Antarctic Ice Sheet Likely to Collapse, New Data Show
WASHINGTON — New information on Antarctica's regularly melting distant past is giving scientists a glimpse into what may be a flooded future as the planet warms up.
The West Antarctic ice sheet collapsed periodically between 3 million and 5 million years ago, adding more than 16 feet to global sea level, according to the first examination of soil cores far below the surface of the Ross ice shelf.
Also, new computer models suggest that warmer waters nearby attacked the ice from below, triggering those collapses.
Both findings appear in studies published Thursday in the journal Nature.
"What we're seeing in the past would lead us to believe that we are on track for losing parts of the West Antarctic ice sheet," said Tim Naish, director of the Antarctic Research Centre at Victoria University in New Zealand and leader of the study that looked at dirt cores.
