Video: American Politicians Said Lack of Snow Meant Warming

Empirical evidence. We've just been told that the recent record blizzards are not proof that global warming isn't real; on the contrary, we're now told that this record cold weather is PROOF of global warming. Really? Climate revisionism at its best.

Here, liberal American politicians (in the recent past) proclaimed LACK OF SNOW as proof of manmade global warming. So, which is it? It's ridiculous that contrary empirical evidence (i.e., lack of snow and too much snow) is used to validate global warming; it's fairly easy to see the frantic 'grasping at straws' that's now happening, due to recent cold weather and scandals. You can't have it both ways (though you're now trying), liberals.

My 9-year-old daughter is smart enough to see the hypocrisy and BS level of this obvious contradiction.

Bill Nye: Skeptics Are Unpatriotic

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.

Record Winter Weather "Caused" by Warming

Do you know what's truly hilarious? Watching lefty environmentalists and media types practically chew their tongues off in acerbic consternation at skeptics for "seizing on" all this record cold winter weather as evidence that global warming is bullshit (because it is). Hence comes the excuse that alarmist scientists "predicted" this all along--global warming would cause both extremely warm as well as extremely cold weather events. Merely climate revisionism (trying to force events to match the theory).

A new record of 12.5 inches of snow in a 24-hour period was set at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (11.2 on Thursday) -- and flakes were still coming down after midnight. The previous daily record was 7.8 inches on Jan. 15, 1964, and Jan. 14, 1917 and the previous 24-hour record was 12.1 inches. The total for this winter, so far, is 15.7 inches, the second highest recorded in North Texas history. The highest recorded snowfall for a winter season was in 1977-78 with 17.6 inches of snow.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - It took back-to-back blizzards to paralyze the nation's capital, but in the Deep South it only takes a couple inches of snow.

Flakes were falling—or threatened—Friday from Texas to the Florida Panhandle and then up along the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina, bringing a rare white landscape to spots that haven't seen snow in a decade or longer. The storm was crawling east out of Texas, where it left the Dallas area with more than a foot of snow, nearly 200 traffic accidents, thousands without power and hundreds of canceled flights.

ROME (Reuters) – Tourists took rare pictures of snow falling on the Colosseum and the Trevi fountain on Friday, and the Pope reportedly appeared at a Vatican window to watch Rome's heaviest snowfall in nearly a quarter century.
In scenes usually only glimpsed in souvenir "snow domes" Italy's capital was blanketed in white, snarling road and air traffic but delighting many Romans who rode scooters with their feet on the ground and snapped pictures with mobile phones.

NORMAN, Oklahoma -- A University of Oklahoma student is taking an extra interest in this week's snow storms in the south and northeast and is working to document the events in a very unique way.

Patrick Marsh said it's likely by the end of the week snow will be on the ground in all 50 states.

From Ardmore all the way to Dallas and even in Louisiana, the south is snowed in. For many, it's a winter wonderland in places that rarely see such weather. But none of it comes close to the mess up north where two blizzards have blown through in a week.

Capitol Paralyzed by Blizzard

Fitting. Hey Washington Liber-o-crats, how's that global warming working out for you? More empirical data to throw on the global-warming-is-BS fire. Just add this to all the scientific scandals regarding global warming that have come to the surface during the past several months and you get the picture. But the diehard believers in the global warming religion are slow to shake their zealotry.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A blizzard battered the Mid-Atlantic region on Saturday, quickly dumping large amounts of snow on that piled up on roadways and toppled trees onto apartment buildings and cars.

Officials urged people to huddle at home for the weekend, out of the way of crews trying to keep up with a storm that forecasters said could be the biggest for the nation's capital in modern history. A father and son were killed in Virginia when a tractor-trailer struck and killed them after they stopped to help another driver.

A record 2 1/2 feet or more was predicted for Washington. As of early Saturday, 10 inches of snow was reported at the White House, while parts of Maryland and West Virginia were buried under more than 20 inches. Forecasters expected snowfall rates to increase, up to 2 inches per hours through Saturday morning.

Blizzard warnings were issued for the District of Columbia, Baltimore, parts of New Jersey and Delaware and some areas west of the Chesapeake Bay.

[From My Way News - Snow piles up, paralyzing nation's capital]

Maryland budgeted about $60 million, and had already spent about $50 million, Gov. Martin O'Malley said. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, who has been in office less than a month, declared his second snow emergency, authorizing state agencies to assist local governments. As of early Saturday, some parts of Virginia had already seen more than 18 inches of snow.

The snow comes less than two months after a Dec. 19 storm dumped more than 16 inches on Washington. Snowfalls of this magnitude - let alone two in one season - are rare in the area. According to the National Weather Service, Washington has gotten more than a foot of snow only 13 times since 1870.

The heaviest on record was 28 inches in January 1922. The biggest snowfall for the Washington-Baltimore area is believed to have been in 1772, before official records were kept, when as much as 3 feet fell, which George Washington and Thomas Jefferson penned in their diaries.

In Washington, tourists made the best of it Friday, spending their days in museums or venturing out to see the monuments before the snow got too heavy.

Record-setting White Christmas Across U.S.

More laughs following that stupid Copen-faken and Climategate crap. More empirical evidence for you to stuff in your bong and smoke, global warming alarmists. OK City broke a snow record set in 1914.

MILWAUKEE — Residents across the Midwest and the Plains who made it home for Christmas were digging out on Friday after a fierce snowstorm while those who spent the night in airports and shelters tried to resume their journeys. Meteorologists warned that roads across the region remained dangerous.

The National Weather Service said blizzards would hit parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin through Saturday. The storm had already dumped significant snow across the region, including a record 14 inches in Oklahoma City and 11 inches in Duluth, Minn., on Thursday.

Record Cold in U.S. and Europe

Amid the media-propped hoax that is global warming, the Universe continues to smite us for our arrogance. Copen-faken was a farce, and Climategate was the decisive preamble. Now, weather takes over the postlude role, as if to set the final nail in the coffin. Actually, the empirical evidence against global warming has been going on for years now. No one will listen. Wonder why?

It's not definite yet, but it has an uncanny resemblance to the East Coast storm last Saturday," meteorologist Paul Douglas posted Monday on his Facebook page. "I want to see one to two more computer runs, but this could be the snowiest Christmas for Minnesota in 30 years."

More than 100 people have been killed in the cold snap across Europe, with temperatures plummeting and snowfall causing chaos from Moscow to Milan.

In Poland, where temperatures have dropped to as low as -20C in some areas, police appealed for tip-offs about people spotted lying around outside. At least 42 people, most of them homeless, died over the weekend.

Unrelenting winter weather...before winter starts

The parade of bad news for the alarmists is unrelenting. Must be karma. By the way...winter OFFICIALLY starts tomorrow, though we could say it started empirically back in Autumn.

AccuWeather.com - Weather Blogs - Weather News:

A major winter storm that has created chaos from the Midwest to the Northeast will slam Boston and southern New England with heavy snow tonight. A second storm will follow close behind this weekend, while a blast of arctic air and a third storm will cross the country in the days leading up to Christmas.

My Way News - Powerful winter storm cuts power, disrupts travel:

A winter storm packing snow, freezing rain and biting wind cut power to tens of thousands of customers Friday, disrupted travel and gave schoolchildren from Iowa to New England an early start on their holiday break. "One thing about it, you're going to have a white Christmas this year," said Lee Longdyke, as he shoveled a sidewalk in Pontiac, Mich., for the third time Friday morning.

SATURDAY AM: The weather outside is frightful -- snowstorms, followed by more cold and snow, in the Midwest and East -- on this weekend before Christmas. So very early numbers for the three big movies opening in wide release in some major markets Friday looked severely lower from Hollywood predictions.

Another winter storm will cross the Midwest into the Northeast over the balance of the weekend, followed by a blast of arctic air. Meanwhile, a storm that will create blizzard conditions in the Northwest could cause trouble in the Midwest Tuesday and the East Christmas Eve day.

The Midwest and the East will barely have time to dig out from the snow and ice that blasted the regions on Friday before the next system moves through by Sunday.

Record-setting winter weather on Earth Day

LOL! Yep...so much for global warming, which as I’ve been trying to explain, is about as real as Santa Claus. At least the idea of Santa has some actual value. And this from Canada; remember this Canadian doom piece from the other day? Of course, others from Canada worry about global cooling.

Is it me or does it seem like every time these nutjobs try to hold a media protest event, an antithetical weather anomaly comes in to ruin it?

Wintry blast cools global warming fervour

So much for global warming. Earth Day festivities went ahead despite the blast of frigid weather yesterday.

Vendors and presenters from various eco-friendly groups, including Bullfrog Power, CO2 Reduction Edmonton and the local solar energy society, crammed into a lone tent in Hawrelak Park after a blizzard forced them to abandon their original locations.

Winter weather sets several records:

All that April snow this weekend was more than surprising -- it was also record-setting.

The flakes that fell across the Vancouver region Friday night and Saturday represent the latest snowfall ever on record.

At its peak, the storm dumped 2.5 cm of snow at the Vancouver International Airport, with 8 cm at Lynn Valley and 30 cm at Mount Seymour. Vancouver Island recorded 6.4 cm of snow at Victoria International Airport by 11 a.m. Saturday -- more than any on an April day since 1940. But the big record dump came in Nanaimo, where the city hadn't seen measurable snow on April 19 since 1947. As of 11 a.m., 24 cm covered the ground at the airport.

Skeptics seize on "cold spell" to debunk AGW?

Kudos to Newsbusters once again, and I'm not even going to try to improve on Noel Sheppard's excellent points in his rebuttal piece that points out how the NYT story is still advocating for global warming alarmism, even with all the winter records we've had this year.

It's really, however, quite simple. Whenever anecdotal evidence points towards warmth, the anthropogenic end of the Earth is proclaimed in the press. When anecdotal evidence paints a contrasting picture, we see articles like this, which, though giving some positive exposure to the "deniers" of the world, still tries to wheel-and-deal to save some face, because much face stands to be lost, as this utter BS is shown for what it really is--simple fearmongering.

The curious thing about the title of this article is its opposite; why have we never seen Alarmists on AGW Seize on Warm Spell?

Skeptics on Human Climate Impact Seize on Cold Spell - New York Times:

The world has seen some extraordinary winter conditions in both hemispheres over the past year: snow in Johannesburg last June and in Baghdad in January, Arctic sea ice returning with a vengeance after a record retreat last summer, paralyzing blizzards in China, and a sharp drop in the globe’s average temperature.

It is no wonder that some scientists, opinion writers, political operatives and other people who challenge warnings about dangerous human-caused global warming have jumped on this as a teachable moment.

“Earth’s ‘Fever’ Breaks: Global COOLING Currently Under Way,” read a blog post and news release on Wednesday from Marc Morano, the communications director for the Republican minority on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

So what is happening?

According to a host of climate experts, including some who question the extent and risks of global warming, it is mostly good old-fashioned weather, along with a cold kick from the tropical Pacific Ocean, which is in its La Niña phase for a few more months, a year after it was in the opposite warm El Niño pattern.

If anything else is afoot — like some cooling related to sunspot cycles or slow shifts in ocean and atmospheric patterns that can influence temperatures — an array of scientists who have staked out differing positions on the overall threat from global warming agree that there is no way to pinpoint whether such a new force is at work.
