Beam me to Planet Gore !

Dr. Patrick J. Michaels, a senior fellow in environmental studies at The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, D.C., told TheDC that global warming proponents wrongly try to justify numerous weather patterns as being the result of global warming.
“Global warming scientists say it will be warmer, colder, snowier, and less snowy all at the same time, which is impossible. Anyone who follows global warming knows the theory is rife with exaggeration,” Michaels said. “What’s disturbing is to see The New York Times put a really fringe idea on their editorial page. Obviously they’re panicking about people’s distrust of the political nature of global warming science. It struck me as desperation pass, knowing the people are abandoning global warming as a signature issue.”
Michaels said many global warming proponents defer to “unfalsifiable science,” which is science that cannot be tested.
“When it doesn’t snow, global warming proponents blame global warming, and when winters are cold, they blame global warming, etc. This is what you call unfalsifiable science,” Michaels said. “It’s not science because it can’t be falsified.”

The only calculator that seems to be the most accurate is also the one that's being completely ignored.........the sun
Global Warming is like Evolution. They are both the only exemptions in science to the falsifiability rule. There is no factor or circumstance conceivable that could disprove either. Every possible situation or discovery is a proof of either or both theories. They are Absolute Truths in the Religion of Science as practiced by Liberals.

We’re supposed to be up into the 40s over the next day or two here in southern Michigan. Liberals are already claiming proof of global warming but it isn’t really so unusual.
The worst ice storm I remember was on new years eve back in the early 80s.
Thoughts?
There’s no reason to believe oil in the gulf would affect the weather in europe even if there was oil in the gulf.
I have a cousin who blames “global warming” on Glenn Beck.
As a general rule, religion cannot be countered with facts. The “truth” of Global Warming is a matter of faith ... no amount of evidence will make any difference.

Not disturbing at all. The grey "lady" is too far gone.
Leave it to a progressive idiot at the Center for American Progress to level this standard for disproving global warming. It has to be below freezing in NYC for an entire year before global warming "could" even be called into question.
Just proves Michaels point even more -- it's unfalsifiable science. The libs will keep putting the benchmark for disproving global warming so high you can't disprove it.
Tell him to show maps that totally show where the oil is. Then ask him to research how much oil seeps into the gulf every year, and how much that quantity is in relation to the spill. Then ask him to research how much volume of water runs per hour in the main Atlantic current, as well as calculate the speed and thus the energy how much energy that entails, and compare that to how much oil was spilled and how much energy would be required to stop that current, and if that mass of oil, assuming it starts from a completely stationary position (even assuming it can be considered one big object (like a rock, and not already completely dissapated from microbes eating it) is both large enough in volume, and mass, to even have the smallest impact whatsoever.
If he gets his facts all straight, he will see that the oil spill would have as much impact as a styrofoam pellet in the colorado river.
I bet your cuz lives in Madistan, Wisconsin!
‘My son thinks that the extreme weather on the east coast (and in Europe) is due to all the oil that is still in the Gulf of Mexico.....
Thoughts?”
Change his school. He’s being brainwashed with dialectical materialsim. Next thing you’ll find you and the misses being blamed for his failures and continued lack of responsibility. Ergo, it’s always someone else’s fault.
Hey Crip, up here in Charlevoix it’s 25 degrees. Florida posting at 34. Good for them.
I remember the old lady next door back in the 50s that blamed rockets punching holes in the sky if it rained on her laundry day. (You must remember that is back when the laundry was hung on cloths lines in the back yard, not stuffed in a gas dryer.)
This so called “extreme weather” is called winter and its been happening for a long time.
Tell him to stop being ridiculous - everyone knows the weather is due to contrails...
After being below normal temps for the past month, (we haven't been above freezing in a week or two) they are calling for temps in the low 50s with rain on New Years day here in Pittsburgh.
The problem with that? Well it is also the day the National Hockey League has their Winter Classic scheduled to be played outdoors at Heinz field. Yes, it is a big deal. Millions spent on setting it up. 65,000 + tickets sold. National TV broadcast on NBC.
Just watch the warmers blame Global Warming if the game needs to be canceled. I'd bet on it even though that type of weather in January is not all that unusual for this area.
The NHL says temps in the 50s are not a problem for the ice surface, they can handle that easily with their ice making system. But rain would be a killer. It would ruin the ice.
