Report: Harsh winter a sign of climate change (More "Global Warming" insanity)
MSNBC ^ | 1/28/2010 | Juliet Eilperin and David A. Fahrenthold/WP

Posted on 01/28/2010 4:30:03 AM PST by tobyhill

This winter's extreme weather — with heavy snowfall in some places and unusually low temperatures — is in fact a sign of how climate change disrupts long-standing patterns, according to a new report by the National Wildlife Federation.

It comes at a time when, despite a wealth of scientific evidence, the American public is increasingly skeptical that climate change is happening at all. That disconnect is particularly important this year as the Obama administration and its allies in Congress seek to enact legislation to curb greenhouse gas emissions and revamp the nation's energy supply.

"It's very hard for any of us to grasp how this larger warming trend is happening when we're still having wintry weather," said National Wildlife Federation climate scientist Amanda Staudt, the new report's lead writer.

Too much snow . . . global warming; not enough snow . . . global warming; too much business . . . Bush’s fault; not enough business . . . Bush’s fault.

For gosh sakes people, do you want some cheese with all that whine?

The fact that there used to be woolly mammoths and sabre tooth tigers wandering around the glaciers of California is evidence that there has been climate change. However, there is no evidence that adopting a Marxist agenda and ceding our liberty to the state will do anything to bring them back.

I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s. This winter in Northern Minnesota is very normal and compares to how they were back then.

But the Marxist Media; Marxist Socialist N00bs Broadcasting Communism (MSNBC) keeps on defining their own version of reality. Even their audience will begin to question what they are being told. FOX News is growing daily because of it.

No you dumbass, the American public does not beleive humans are causing global warming or climate change or whatever you will call it next.

Q: How many ice ages came (global cooling) and went (global warming) without benefit of SUVs?

Every agency of the Federal Government has become an enemy of the Republic.
Every one a tool of the globalist agenda.

Follow the money!
All these “Warmists” are sucking on the Federal tit directly (like James Hansen) and via university grants from the Feds. Bunch of welfare bums

National Wildlife Federation climate scientist Amanda Staudt, the new report’s lead writer is working for a squishy do-gooder charity that gets private funding and governmental funding

None of the above would last 5 minutes in private industry doing something productive that contributes to the real GDP

They used to raise cattle in Greenland and grow wine grapes in England.

I don’t trust 90% of lady cops (always seem to be shooting the family dog) and I don’t trust 90% of lady scientists. That is if this Amanda is even a scientist. Logic and reason take a back seat to fuzzy polar bears on arctic ice flows

An advocacy report by an environmentalist group, eh? That means its conclusions can be integrated into the next IPCC report.
