Meteorologist: 'We've Forgotten How to Be Cold' February 17, 2014 - 5:40 PM By Melanie Hunter

(CNSNews.com) - J. Marshall Shepherd, former head of the American Meteorological Society, told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that people have "forgotten how to be cold or deal with snowstorms," because there are so few big storms "and that is because of climate warming."

"I'm not quite ready to say that this snowstorm we saw this week or last week is caused by global warming or climate change, but one thing I will emphasize, I think we're forgotten how to be cold or deal with snowstorms, because we're seeing so few of these big storms like we've seen, and that probably is because of climate warming," said Shepherd.

Host Bob Schieffer asked Shepherd whether the recent spate of storms that have hit the East Coast was the result of "things that are happening here on earth."

"Yeah, yeah, a couple of things, let me say about that. When we get winter weather, cold conditions, you know, you've got some that will say, 'Well, what are you guys worried about climate change or global warming? I mean, it's -- it's cold and snowing.' And I'll say, 'You know, it's winter. It's January or February. We get snowstorms.' That's important.That's like saying, because it's night time, the sun doesn't exist anymore," Shepherd said.

"On the other hand, though, there is evidence -- there's some scientific literature that suggests that jet stream patterns can be affected by the amplified warming that we're seeing up in the Arctic because of climate change or global warming," he said.

You have to be a complete idiot to believe what this jackass said.

I love how they claim the opposition is so ignorant and then they use supposed “evidence” like this?

Or a liberal will believe it. Those with their head in the sand thinking the world is warming will see winter storms with horror.

And yet I wonder, how does one ‘forget’ how to be ‘cold’?
What the heck kind of crap are they spinning now?

So illogical.

Yes! Confiscating guns, eliminating the first and second amendment, taxing the rich to oblivion and giving the money to to third world dictators, brownouts and giving amnesty to 30 million illegals will solve everything!

As opposed to what, Mr Schieffer? Things happening on Mars? Or, perhaps, Alpha Centauri?

Years from now people (if we keep our republic) will be watching these shows (in synopsis) for fun. Much the way we watch Gone With the Wind.

THese people will appear as vapid to those hopefully fortunate ‘folks’ as they do to any logical viewer.

It’s reallylike the CIA staffer when he says to Mendez in ‘Argo’ going in to see the Admin official, “brace yourself. It’s like talking to the muppets”

As I recall it was pretty cold last year too. And the year before that, and the year before that. But every year liberals forget the previous year and claim it’s never been this cold before.

mister shepherd... you are a liar. You agreed in print with those at east anglia when they warned 10 years ago that children in the world would grow up without knowing what snow was. You swore that WINTER was going to be a thing relegated to history books... you are a low life scumbag lying communist.

Worse than stuck on stupid, he doesn’t follow the weather!

The arctic oscillation had been positive for 20 years but is trending back to negative... Positive means no arctic out breaks... They’re Baaaack!

sooo i can infer that if global warming actually existed we might stand a chance to elect some people fully equipped to deal with the real problems besetting this country

It is winter in America...so there is more snow than usual, great for the ski resorts...this gives the various delightful weather gals and guys something to talk about...and judging by the winter weather in our east, I expect the summer storms will get lots of attention also. Obama doesn’t want anyone to dwell on the Obamacare repeals this year or his failure on the promised jobs spiel that worked out as well as Obamacare or that he is circumventing congress who represent the people...hummmmm don’t dwell on any of that. Climate change, already thrown out by Congress, is his ploy of the week....I think the fraud has finally painted himself into a corner...whatever, he has trashed the Constitution, breaking his oath to protect it and we citizens....

My mom called from Phoenix yesterday. Told me some ridiculous story about it approaching 90 degrees. Way to rub it in mom.
