Conservatives Use "Snowmageddon" to Mock Global Warming

Posted by Stephanie Condon (CBS/ Jill Jackson) Conservative congressmen are using Washington's serious snow storm (known as "snowmageddon" or "snowpocalypse") to mock those who say the government should act to curb global warming, and at least one Democrat says the storm could actually set back progress on an energy and climate bill.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) took to the social networking site Twitter to mock former Vice President Al Gore over the storm: "It's going to keep snowing in DC until Al Gore cries 'uncle,'" he tweeted yesterday.

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), the top Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, also got in on the fun. He and his family built an igloo in Washington and adorned it with cardboard signs reading "Al Gore's new home" and "Honk if you [heart] global warming."

He just seems like a regular, nice, fun guy. We need more of these on both the right and left leadership in this country.

But more snow means global warming. Less snow = global warming. More/Less rain = global warming. Colder/warmer temps = global warming. Regular conditions = global warming.

Every chance I get, I berate this in public with little comments to make a joke out of it. I usually start with "can't wait for this global warming to happen -- I'm freezing!" Most people just chuckle and agree that this is crap. The more we make a joke out of this hoax, the less public support will be enjoyed by the creators of the hoax.

I have been mocking AGW ever since I first heard of it. I have always thought it was complete BS. Cold weather just makes it more fun to mock.

We never needed “Snowmageddon” to mock the AGW hucksters, Michael Mann, Phil Jones, Al Gore, the IPCC and a host of other suspects give us more than enough reason.

I'm hearing the word "mock" an awful lot on FR today...

...and loving it.

So far as global warming goes, you really can't mock a HOAX, only those who perpurtrated it, costing taxpayers millions of dollars chasing a folly.

The subject from gore was excessive heat, but in reality it was a real SNOW JOB.

It’s not just the monetary cost that you have to look at,

but their intent to impose huge human suffering costs to “solve global warming”.

Again, the Global Warming Cult is using the argument, “Scientists have been warning for decades that global warming would increase the severity of winter storms.”

Meanwhile, the USA is shattering historic snow and low temperature records.

So, I guess that we have had more snow since they began keeping records or experienced a lower historical temperature means nothing.

I think some people need to be jailed for this expensive HOAX.
