AP: Don't Let the -45 Degree Weather Fool You… Global Warming Is REAL
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, January 8, 2010, 5:59 AM
It might be minus 45 in the upper Midwest today but that won’t stop the state-run media from pushing their leftist propaganda.
The Associated Press is out pushing their leftist propaganda this week despite the obvious evidence to the contrary. They don’t want anyone to be fooled by the snow, ice, and record cold… Manmade global warming is real.
Beijing had its coldest morning in almost 40 years and its biggest snowfall since 1951. Britain is suffering through its longest cold snap since 1981. And freezing weather is gripping the Deep South, including Florida’s orange groves and beaches.
Whatever happened to global warming?
Such weather doesn’t seem to fit with warnings from scientists that the Earth is warming because of greenhouse gases. But experts say the cold snap doesn’t disprove global warming at all — it’s just a blip in the long-term heating trend.
“It’s part of natural variability,” said Gerald Meehl, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. With global warming, he said, “we’ll still have record cold temperatures. We’ll just have fewer of them.”

Nothing new here. The AGW people will and are pushing their phony agenda despite ‘real’ evidence to the contrary. Typical liberal mentality ‘don’t bother me with facts, my mind is already set’.
rumcrook commented:
really thier will still be record cold snaps just fewer of them?!
what will these globull warminists say when you can count up the number of record cold snaps and they are on the increase instead of the decrease? what will thier answer be then?

I live in south Florida…… Ft. Lauderdale area.
Tonight (Friday 8 January), we’ll have a low of 35, then tomorrow we’ll get that global warming high of 48 with rain most of the day.
Today is the first day in over a week the temp’s been over 65.
Hey, AGW freaks…. It’s called WINTER. Even down here, it gets chilly during the WINTER.
But….. have a nice day.

To all those glomosexuals global warming is like a religion.
Nothing short of a glacier in South Carolina would change their minds.
Record cold temps all over the world is a part of natural viability but one warm winter seven or eight years ago is undeniable proof of warming.
And what may I ask is the exact perfect temperature supposed to be…? The earth is supposed to be warm. The ice ages and the cooling are the anomalies and not the heat.What was the temperature when the dinosaurs roamed the earth? I heard it was a little steamy.
Multiple ice ages have come and gone but this time it is some sort of irreversible trend caused by man.
Man cannot control the weather.
They’re only losing more credibility every day.
crosspatch commented:
“wind chill” is a manufactured number. Yes, it is cold, but better to stick with actual thermometer readings than things like “wind chill” or “real feel”. Those were designed to create inflated numbers and attract eyeballs to weather forecasts (and their ads) when cold blasts come though.

Reality matters. Liberals cannot use facts in arguments because they’ll lose.

What I found strange was the sentence in the AP article NOT included in the above posting -
“Deke Arndt of the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., noted that 2009 will rank among the 10 warmest years for Earth since 1880″
Say WHAT?! It was cooler than average here in Indiana, and everything I’ve seen in in the news for weather in 2009 was primarily about COOLER not WARMER temps!

More “fudged data” from East Anglia and Penn State, no doubt!

Different decades- different democrats – same old song and dance.
I remember it as if it were yesterday:
Cornpone Jimmuh Cahtah speaking to “the people” about the “energy crisis”, “issues of wauhs”, etc.etc.
Jimmuh says
“The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our Nation. These are facts and we simply must face them:
and:
What I have to say to you now about energy is simple and vitally important.”
“Point four: I’m asking Congress to mandate, to require as a matter of law, that our Nation’s utility companies cut their massive use of oil by 50 percent within the next decade and switch to other fuels, especially coal, our most abundant energy source.”
And that was the beginning of the end for the Big Three Auto Manufacturers.

Could use some warming here in the Midwest. Got a busted water hydrant to deal with. Nothing like digging up a hydrant in 12 degree temp and 30+ mph winds. It’s so warm out there, i can hardly take it!

Birmingham AL had 17°F and snow this morning.
JH commented:
Sure, this winter is just an anamoly…..it’s really cold today b/c of ‘natural variability’. Global warming is still very real and someday soon the planet with explode from all the heat. Luckily, there is ‘natural variability’ that is preventing this disaster from occuring today.
And if it was 65 and sunny in Minnesota today, would this clown still be talking about ‘natural variability’?? Hell no – the AGW crowd would be proclaiming the end of the life as we know it if we don’t spend trillions of dollars right away!!!

Yah, my son called all his buddies to see if they’d like to go sledding and noone wants to go because it’s “too cold” or their mothers are decrying “dangerous cold”. Oh, school called off 2nd day in a row here -for cold. My son went sledding.

Don Rodrigo commented:
The biggest contention is that it’s AGW rather than just GW. Even the AP article insists that any warming that may or may not be happening is man-made.
IF any long-term warming is occuring, it’s not catastrophic, since it’s very, very gradual, taking its sweet time, and is periodically stymied by years-long cold spells or just plain pauses in the supposed rise, and it’s most likely not man-made, or at least not totally man-made. The real issue then becomes: So Freakin’ What? Any ‘warming’ that may be accuring doesn’t warrant the vast and economy killing overhaul demanded by AGW fanatics and corrupt politicians and certain co-opted business interests. The only catastrophe resulting will be what happens to the economy and quality of life, not the rising of oceans or ‘heat waves,’ or dead polar bears.
JFP commented:
Let’s say I accept the 1970s theory of global cooling. I could use the same logic the AGW crowd uses. I could say that the slight warming trend from the late 1970s to 1998 was a little blip in the record but that otherwise the record shows that we are heading for an ice age, no matter what we do. It’s not global warming but global cooling we have to worry about.
I invite any true believer to tell me what’s wrong with my reasoning.

When will these 1960′s hippie freaks whose brains are destroyed from all the LSD they ingested realize we are on to them.
Scott L. commented:
Yes, we will still have record cold temperatures, just fewer. And we’ll have a record number of hurricanes and they’ll be stronger, just not yet. And we’ll have an asteroid hit the planet and kill everyone, just not quite yet.
Marsh commented:
These leftist scientists are getting more and more delusional as their paradign collapses all around them.
Oh and please don’t bother with the “See! The right hates science!” bullcrap. I love science but these political ideologues are making a mockery of the scientific process.
Mkelley commented:
I think windchill temperatures that are given nowadays are meaningful. There was a time when they seemed to exaggerate cold, but the chart was changed a few years ago. I recently went out before work to fill my bird feeders at a still temperature of -24 degrees F. The next day, it was clear up to +11, but a fierce wind was blowing. I can guarantee the second morning was far colder.
Rivka commented:
Ignore the AP and the rest. Just talked with a friend who is a meteorologist with no agenda. He said what is VERY significant is that the whole world’s temps are unusually low. If it were just the U.S. it wouldn’t be as significant.
eaglewingz08 commented:
Thank heavens for global warming otherwise it would be -64.
Oh, it’s natural weather variability when the temps go down minus 45 degrees but not natural variability when they increase one or two degrees fahrenheit or even celcius?
