Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday predicted that extreme weather events would continue to hit the United States despite skepticism from “global warming deniers.”

Al Gore and Joe Biden really lower the standards for VPs, just like Obama has lowered the standards for a real leader.
First they were honest and only spoke of “global warming”, because although the models had holes in them like swiss cheese, “catastrophic warming” is what they predicted.
Then the “warming” did not manifest much in the last decade, so they switched tactics to calling the whole issue “climate change” - as if prior to modern times the climate never changed.
Lately “climate change” having no direct meaning to anyone whose local weather is not changing much (most people), the issue has morphed into “weather extremes”.
However, the only thing that sustains the new climate bogeyman is not science with regard to the number of extreme weather events - such as hurricanes, typhoons and and tornadoes (which have not increased in number in recent years) - but the “salesmen” of the alarmists, the media, the global media, making sure - unlike in the past - every little blip in the weather anywhere is blown up and broadcast to the smallest hamlets in the world, and not due to science but the reach of the media, little people every where can honestly say they were not hearing reports like that from far away when they were kids, so something certainly has “changed”.
I received anxious inquiries from friends overseas (S.East Asia) inquiring if everyone here was O.K. in the “extreme cold” we have here in the U.S. Northeast.
I wrote back telling them: “It’s called winter.”
No doubt setting us up for the old "global warming would have happened if Fox News and the Tea Party weren't obstructing and so skeptical."
Global cooling has really effed up Joe’s plugs.
Who would have predicted that a U.S. Vice-President would strive to be a “parka-boy”?
Since 1895, the media has alternated between global cooling and warming scares during four separate and sometimes overlapping time periods. From 1895 until the 1930’s the media peddled a coming ice age. From the late 1920’s until the 1960’s they warned of global warming. From the 1950’s until the 1970’s they warned us again of a coming ice age. This makes modern global warming the fourth estate’s fourth attempt to promote opposing climate change fears during the last 100 years.
They fear climate almost as much as they fear the greatest terror ever experienced by them as a whole: Reagan Landslide!
Will hit the U.S.? No other countries will feel the effect?
Another statement from a brain damaged vice president elected by brain damaged voters.

CHICAGO SMASHES RECORDS...
NYC breaks 118-year-low...
Wonder what made it so cold back then?
Weatherman Joe!
How much longer before crazy uncle Joe gets a shotgun and uses it on 0 bummer?
Joe Biden: Expect more stupidity.
What extreme weather is retardo talking about? Seems to me we are going back to the weather we use to have when I was a kid growing up in the 60s and 70s which flies right in the face of the Marxist psychopathic extortionists who have been claiming the temperature has been rising.
It must be the horse poo. Back then the Gore ancestors demanded all horse riders must buy “manure credits”.
Sea level has risen 0.13 inches in the last 20 years. And that's an average. And we know averages are created.
Maybe if y’all had let me keep using my Aqua Net hair spray back in the 70s, it would be warmer outside today.
Tornado numbers were at record lows in the U.S. in 2013.
It’s been a record number of days since the U.S. was hit by a major hurricane (Cat 3 or greater). In fact this period is over twice as long as the previous period with no major storms.
The warmists are able to use the media to repeat the nonsense about extreme weather, but the facts don’t back it up. The only fall back the warmists have left is to blame cold weather on global warming.
For any kind of honest history, I’ve always told my kids to get books before 1930.
Expecting more extreme weather from Ole patches means more hot air coming.
