For all the AGW enthusiasts out there these are signs of WEATHER!!
It happens.
Taxpayers are becoming more reluctant to waste money on hoaxes!
More tornadoes due to global warming, if such a thing happened, would be more tornadoes in Canada, where they dont usually occur. NOT in Alabama.
Wildfires and flooding are not related to climate changes, yet that is what most of what passes for 'substance' of this article.
It has been a great disappointment to global warming fanatics that the hurricane seasons have been so inactive since 2005. That global warming would cause increased hurricane activity has been the essential touchstone of AGW alarmism.
The Leftist 'Old Grey Lady' of journalism is now the official 'crazy aunt in the attic' of public discourse.
The rest of us have already figured out that droughts, floods and such are simply happening as they do every year somewhere in the world and it's probably just as accurate to consult a Ouija board as it is a "climate scientist" as to why that is.
The New York Times again knowingly promoting a hoax.
I’d think that vast ice sheets rolling down Broadway 18,000 years ago would be pretty significant.
We should ask these scientsts how to combat the next iceage?
Absolutely incorrect. The greatest measure of heat in the water and atmosphere is the strength of Hurricanes (barring annual affects from atmospheric wind patterns). We are now approaching the modern record for length of time without a strong Hurricane making landfall within the continental US. So global warming weather extremes cannot be occurring for the past 5 years. In fact, setting the strong Hurricane US no landfall record, requires Global Cooling (ie - lack of energy). Not warming.
Don’t know and don’t care. The warm winter so far has saved me a bundle on heating costs.
Bring on that global warming.
If this year were to stay like this and even warm up a bit, it would compare favorably with 1980-81 (right after my son was born. That year we went for walks at parks in the neighborhood, in January, and I needed no jacket. We had my newborn in a stroller with just a simple sweatshirt for warmth.
That was my kind of winter!
The bad part is, these things tend to average out over the long run.
Where have all those billions of dollars gone? An investigationis warrented.
We all owe Andy Watts a lot of respect. He took a lot of threats and hate to stand up for the truth and expose the algore lies. All the media shut out his views but he and others got through to the pulbic anyway.
I feel sorry for young people who majored in climate change enviornmental nonsense when there was a lot of money because a lot of people were fooled - including them. I laugh at limo-pinko global warming’s “investors!”
It irks me that Obama used this fake fear science to shake down the Treasury for kickbacks to his campaign funding pals in the name of alternative energy.
Ping to Ernest for further pinging!!!
What a headline! Is the NYTimes imitating The Onion now?
Last I read the Federales are blowing 2 billion a year on climate studies..... In my book the scientists they fund are known quantities and will come up with pro-global warming results 99% of the time. This is known in advance (wink wink) before they get the loot. Otherwise they do not get it
Global Warming on Free Republic
How unusual is the year? Quite warm, and rather dry, here in sunny South Dakota: a brown Christmas, and temps running in the mid to high 40s (though we have had hard freezes with days that didn't get above freezing this Fall) at least through this coming Friday.
OTOH, as unusual as this year has been, it wasn't as warm as winter appears to have been 90 years ago, as evidenced by the highlighted portion of the History column in last week's local newspaper.
“When 2010 ended, it seemed as if people had lived through a startling year of weather extremes. But in the United States, if not elsewhere, 2011 has surpassed that.”
so, 2011 was more extreme than 2010, ..... so this means out of 1 of 2 years, 2011 was more extreme .... waste of a sentence .... saying something to express nothing.
Down right dishonest, reminds me of a street corner con artist.
