Climate Fear Promoters Attempt to Explain Record Cold and Snow: 'Global warming made it less cool' Climate Fear activists switch from predictions of 'climate crisis' to "global warming made it less cool'

Monday, July 27, 2009 - By Marc Morano – Climate Depot Climate Depot Editorial

The year 2009 is proving to be a yet another very inconvenient year for the promoters of man-made global warming fears. As the “year without a summer” continues, the U.S. in July alone has broken over 3000 cold temperature records, and global temps have fallen .74F since Gore's film “An Inconvenient Truth” was released in 2006. In addition, meteorologists are predicting more record cold and snow this winter. See: Brisk July portends 'heavy snowfalls and bitter cold this winter along Eastern Seaboard'

But man-made climate fear promoters have finally constructed an explanation for the recent record cold temperatures.

The explanation? According to climate activists: “Global warming made it less cool.”

It appears the global warming fear movement has gone from predictions that we face a "climate crisis" and we are all going to die to their new slogan: "Global warming made it less cool."

The environmental activist group Union of Concerned Scientists declared “Global warming made it less cool.” Brenda Ekwurzel, of the Union of Concerned Scientists, claimed in a July 24, 2009 letter to the editor in the Washington Post that “2008 was a cooler year, but global warming made it less cool.”

Let's consider the Union of Concerned Scientists' claim that “global warming made it less cool.”

Gore's hometown, Nashville, recently broke an 1877 cold temp record set when Rutherford B. Hayes was in the White House.

Are we to believe that instead of breaking the 1877 Nashville cold temperature record set when Rutherford B. Hayes was president, the city would have allegedly broken a hypothetical 1862 cold temp record set when Abraham Lincoln was president? Or a hypothetical 1797 temperature record set when George Washington was president?

Would the absence of man-made “global warming” impacts have brought us to cold temperatures back in the colonial times? (Ok, that is a weak attempt at humor since there are no reliable land based temperature records going back that far. But recent peer-reviewed scientific papers are continuing to further embarrass climate fear promoters: See: Peer-Reviewed Study Rocks Climate Debate! 'Nature not man responsible for recent global warming...little or none of late 20th century warming and cooling can be attributed to humans' - July 24, 2009 & Climate Fears RIP...for 30 years!? - Global Warming could stop 'for up to 30 years! Warming 'On Hold?...'Could go into hiding for decades' study finds – Discovery.com – March 2, 2009 )

It appears the man-made climate fear promoters believe the “global warming made it less cool” claim is their ticket to persuade Americans that record cold and global cooling are meaningless. Yes, pay no attention to that record cold and instead think about how it would have been cooler without man-made global warming. With their new logic, Union of Concerned Scientists may soon be one step away from recommending that Americans idle their SUVs in the driveway to make it even “less cool” in the future. (Note: Union of Concerned Scientists also recommends that people “should take a look at the federal government's recent report "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States" to find out "the facts” on global warming. That would be the Obama “science” report that was soundly rejected by scientists from around the world. See Climate Depot Report: Scaremongering': Scientists Pan Obama Climate Report: 'This is not a work of science but an embarrassing episode for the authors and NOAA'...'Misrepresents the science' - July 8, 2009 )

In addition, in even more bad news for the Union of Concerned Scientists, many scientists are now predicting a coming global COOLING. (See: Scientist: 'There is no possible global warming threat for at least next 193 years' -- Predicts possible COOLING; Australian scientists declare climate change 'a natural phenomenon'...warn of 'severe COOLING'; Geologist warns of 'coming ice age'; The Sun: 'Lowest of any solar cycle since 1928' and 'Global temps have flat lined since 2001...This is nothing like anything we've seen since 1950...Cooling trend could last for up to 30 years' - June 22, 2009 )

But “less cool” is exactly what many around the globe are wishing for in recent years, particularly this summer.

Let's see how much impact man-made global warming had in making recent temperatures “less cool.”

Since temperature is only good for any given moment in time at any place, it is absolutely impossible to figure a true mean. The universe is never stagnant. Predicting a proper temperature for a FUTURE time is simply impossible.

The AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) nuts make many ridiculous claims, but the worst is that their "theory" is "scientific". All scientific theories must be falsifiable. This is one of the most fundamental priciples of science.

The AGW crowd claims that anything that is observed is support for their "theory", even when it contradicts other things that are taken as supporting it. There is a term for belief systems which are non-falsifiable, it is "religion".

Cold prompts grizzly bear attack warning: ‘Unseasonably cold temps have made food scarce for bears, pushing them closer to towns to find more’

LOL, I just saw the most pathetic commercial on TV about how the poor grizzlies were running out of food because their ice was melting. Now, those big white guys can’t get food because it’s TOO cold. What’s a bear gonna do?

"Global Warming made it less cool"

Wot?
