Midwest Suffers Through Global Warming Freezing Temps, Snow & Ice Storms
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, January 7, 2010, 5:32 AM
The Midwest is suffering through its worst Global Warming freezing temps, snow and ice in decades–
Drudge reported today:
Midwest bracing for heavy snow — wind chills of 50 below!
Next Arctic Blast blows even colder…
Persistent cold tightens grip on nation…
CHILL MAP…
Britain’s big snow shuts cities…
Arctic blast freezes Texas…
Weekend Freeze Looms for Gulf Coast…
Florida races to save crops…
ICE DELAYS FLIGHTS IN TAMPA…
Bundle Up!
KSDK is reporting that winter storm warnings continue for much of the area including St. Louis into Thursday. Total snowfall is expected to range from three to six inches in most areas. Wind is expected to pick up this afternoon causing temperatures to drop.
And just think… It was less than a month ago that Barack Obama was in Denmark trying to ram through some international legislation on global warming junk science. Thank goodness he failed.

Clearly, there must be something wrong with those facts.

By the way, Jim, has Charles Johnson answered your questions concerning porn-promoter Kevin Jennings?
Eriah commented:
I have lived in Southern New Mexico for almost 5 years and during that time there has been no snowfall until this year and already it has snowed twice in the past month.
Gore, it’s over…….. and you global warming believers really need to get a clue.

Get with the program,
they have to call it “climate change,” now that the earth is a period of cooling.
Please ignore the man behind the curtain pulling the strings.
Mats commented:
Yes, TaSS. They keep changing the terms as a way to avoid falsification.
Sidh Vicious commented:
Problem: true believers argued that hot spells and destructive hurricanes were proof of AGW. So… present weather patterns are disproof, huh?
Let’s not fall for the same trap. If the planet was heating or cooling there would be hot AND cold spells plus hurricanes.

Thanks for nothin’ Al, I’ll just keep freezing my @ss off! ; )
Skandia commented:
Normal winter weather for January ‘cept fer the deep south. What’s the problem?
Oh, wait. The global warming ‘signature’ is like, two tenths of a degree change in the global average and the error rate for the instruments used, and the methodology used to measure temperature is an order of magnitude (or ten) larger than the signal they’re looking for.
Factor in some confusion over what variable the proxy methods are really detecting, and the uncertainty factor goes off the chart, but who cares as long as the proles will buy the story.
LYNNDH commented:
I live north of Denver, not in the mountains. It is minus 8, with another 3-5 inches of snow on ground yesterday. That was on top of snow that did not melt from last time. Which was on snow from previous time that did not melt. Enough!

Here’s an article you will want to read that is in the Omaha World-Herald this morning entitled, “A Persistent Polar Pattern”.
A couple highlights:
A little-understood Arctic phenomenon may be behind the worst winter conditions in a quarter-century across much of the United States, near record lows in Omaha and misery from northern Europe to Asia.
There is more snow on the ground, 21 inches, than in any January since 1948 — the earliest date for which reliable snow records are available.
The average temperature in Omaha for the first five days of the year has been 3.1 degrees, the third-lowest on record dating to the late 1800s.
And on Friday, Omaha’s daytime high isn’t expected to climb above zero. That hasn’t happened since 1997, said Ken Dewey, an applied climatologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s School of Natural Resources.
But as bad as the Midlands weather has been, the southern United States might be faring worse because that region is less accustomed to the cold, said Eric Wilhelm, a meteorologist for AccuWeather Inc., The World-Herald’s consultant.
The Arctic Oscillation involves atmospheric circulation over the polar region, and its intensity is the strongest in decades, meteorologists say.
And then let me throw this last one at you: “Michelle L’Heureux, a meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, said the Arctic Oscillation is one of the least understood weather patterns and is difficult to predict.”
Really? In 2010, we can not predict the weather? Hmmm, could it be that Global Warming ISN’T settled science after all?
Say it ain’t so Al . . .

The winter of my youth has returned.
Just as an entire generation has grown up not knowing what a vinyl “record” is, that same group of teen, twenty and thirty-somethings have no clue of what it is like to live with actual winter…
…not seeing the ground from November to March.
…getting up an hour early every morning to shovel the driveway to be able to drive to work or school.
…never having school or work called unless it snows at least a full twelve inches. (Ten won’t do it.)
…dodging stalagtite-sized icicles that hang (and fall) dangerously from every roof.
…having only ONE indian summer, or break in the bitter cold, sometime in February.
…not seeing the sun or the blue sky for weeks on end.
…just dealing with the cold and the snow and the gloom, week after week, month after month, knowing that next year is going to be no different.
That’s the winter I knew and loved/hated. And it’s back.
irongrampa commented:
Denying either warming OR cooling is foolish. Ample evidence exists to support the ocurrence of both, over long periods of time.
To posit that a single species can have a material effect on climate(except in extremely LOCAL circumstances) is displaying monumental arrogance.
The only practical solution is to adapt to the particular–and survive, or fail to do so, and perish.
Sorta makes all the flap a bit moot.
greenfairie commented:
Cold fronts aren’t unusual in Florida but this snap has lasted an unusually long time. When I lived in Miami for several years, the cold weather would last only a few days. This has gone on for more than a week.
Meanwhile, it’s still pleasant in Southern California.

Well I’m in Florida and it is cold. Usually the real cold weather only lasts a couple of days, but this has been exceptionally long this year and isn’t over yet. The high here on Saturday is predicted to reach 40º, with possibility of some sleet in the rain. I’m sure we could all use some of that “global warming” right now.

Yup. I noticed that too. The weather goes in big cycles inside of still bigger cycles. Live long enough and the wheels of nature return to their ‘starting’ point. Fanatical warmists base most of their assumptions on timelines so short that it would embarrass the most ardent Creationist.

So the earth’s climate is a huge SYSTEM. It’s COMPLEX and has lots of different parts. Climate scientists don’t claim that it will get hotter everywhere because THAT’S DUMB AND DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. They claim that as the OVERALL temperature increases, there will be lots of problems like SEVERE WEATHER. Including UNUSUAL COLD or DROUGHT or an UNUSUALLY LARGE NUMBER OF HURRICANES. The climate SYSTEM becomes less stable because it is CHANGING QUICKLY due to HUMAN ACTIVITY, which causes lots of different problems ALL OVER THE WORLD. Have you ever heard of a SYSTEM? or COMPLEXITY?

Live in that North Eastern section of Arizona showing 17 degrees. I teach 2 weekly elective science labs at a nearby middle school.

I see most of you still haven’t learned the difference between climate and weather (judging by the comments you seem to believe they’re synonymous). Well, no worry. Just because you don’t understand the difference doesn’t mean that other, smarter, people don’t.

[..] Strong’s most influential role to date, however, has been as the Secretary-General of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED — aka the Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro. It
was this conference that gave birth to the Earth Charter and Agenda 21, which would lay the groundwork for a completely managed global society run and managed under the auspices
of the UN, under the guise of saving the environment.
It is people such as Maurice Strong, Mikhail Gorbachev, Al Gore, and Ted Turner that are at the forefront of the UN’s environmental/depopulation agenda, at least at the visible/gofer level. The four are also members of, or have close connections to the Club of Rome. It is the Club of Rome that has been guiding the environmental movement since its creation at the Rockefellers’ estate in Bellagio, Italy in 1968. It’s aim is to reduce a large majority of the global population, as well as manufacture crisis through which the world can be “united” under a one world government, as was admitted in their 1991 publication, titled The First Global Revolution.]

The First Global Revolution:
Blueprint for a new global order
[“In searching for the new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned, namely mistaking symptoms for cause. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changing attitudes and behaviors that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”]
More on Al Gore’s climate fraud promotion book “Our Choice”
[Maurice Strong, who is regularly credited as founding father of the modern environmental movement, serves on the board of directors of CCX. Strong was a leading initiate of the Earth Summit in the early 90s, where the theory of global warming caused by CO2 generated by human activity was most notably advanced.
Both Strong and Gore come from the Club of Rome clique, who in their 1991 Report, “The First Global Revolution” openly admitted how they were planning to exploit the contrived hoax of global warming in order to further their agenda.
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.,” they wrote.]

Forget about it. Trying to use logic with these simpletons is a losing game. They just can’t wrap their feeble little brains around the concept of global weather systems. These village idiots can’t make a connection to changing climate patterns due to (or at the very least in part to) human activity and extreme weather caused by this phenomenon. I hear this crap every winter – “HA! its snowing in Minnesota and you hippies wanna talk about global warming!!” I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…

don’t do either, try research to back up your opinion..
do we have a pollution problem??
yes..
does it cause Global Warming??
no..
does man cause pollution??
yes..
does man cause Global Warming??
no..
how much does man (et al) contribute to Global Warming??
humans cause only 3.4 percent of annual CO2 emissions
[Perhaps the most alarming part is the price tag associated with attempting to reduce such a small part of the atmosphere and something we really cannot control. Our analysis shows the cumulative GDP losses for 2010 to 2029 approach $7 trillion. Single-year losses exceed $600 billion in 2029, more than $5,000 per house¬hold. Job losses are expected to exceed 800,000 in some years, and exceed at least 500,000 from 2015 through 2026. It is important to note that these are net job losses, after any jobs created by compliance with the regulations–so-called green jobs–are taken into account. In total, the “climate revenue” (read: energy tax) could approach two trillion over eight years. Keep in mind, this is all for negligible environmental benefits.
The science behind global warming is anything but conclusive. Many leading climatologists conclude that climate models aren’t incredibly accurate and even have different opinions (for instance whether it is the sun or oceanic changes) as to what the dominant causes are of global warming and cooling.
[..]
“There’s a much more important issue that poses an even greater danger to mankind. That’s the effort by environmentalists to suppress disagreement with their view. According to a March 11 article in London’s Sunday Telegraph, Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Canada, has received five death threats since he started questioning whether man was affecting climate change. Richard Lindzen, professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT, said, “Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labeled as industry stooges.” Nigel Calder, a former editor of New Scientist, said, “Governments are trying to achieve unanimity by stifling any scientist who disagrees. Einstein could not have got funding under the present system.”
Suppressing dissent is nothing new. Italian cosmologist Giordano Bruno taught that stars were at different distances from each other surrounded by limitless territory. He was imprisoned in 1592, and eight years later he was tried as a heretic and burned at the stake. Because he disagreed that the Earth was the center of the universe, Galileo was ordered to stand trial on suspicion of heresy in 1633. Under the threat of torture, he recanted and was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life.”]
It is about 0.28%, if water vapor is
taken into account– about 5.53%, if not.
much lower than our current unemployment rate, go figure..

Woah, slow down internet guy. They’re not calling you a “retard” because they doubt that there’s hearsay out there. You don’t need to prove that. They’re calling you a “retard” because you are using hearsay (rumors on the internet and local weather gossip) to deny science — the things that every scientist believes, except for maybe a shocking 141 (are there even that many “scientists” in the world?).
And I’m calling you “pathetic” because you somehow know that the voice in your head is God’s, and admitted that in the context of this discussion.
Anyway, you seem to have a pretty fail-safe scientific method, so do yourself a favor. Google some “facts” about how God is an imaginary scapegoat for all the garbage in your head, paste it here, and congratulate yourself for disproving his existence for all humanity.

Global warming causes the deep freeze. Forget about the politics and do your homework. The melting fresh water flowing south from the artic the warming Gulf stream southward pulling the jet stream along with it causing frigid temps. I don’t believe it’s man made but it is happening very very few experts fdispute that. For decades it was said as the Gulf stream sinks further south, England would be the first to feel it affects, followed by the northeast in the U.S. The Brits are now buying and burning books as a cheap way to stay warm in thier second year of rare snow and record lows.

withabrain commented:
It is honestly shocking to read so many comments that basically say “It’s cold where I live this winter! Global Warming must be a hoax! QED!”
Guys, climate change is about global averages. This is just not that complicated. Variance in excess of the trend is not only possible, it’s anticipated. So could we not have this absurd comedy every winter?
As for the actual scientific consensus, it’s apparent to everyone not afflicted by an ideological inability to look. Your 141 “scientists” are bought and paid for by carbon-intensive industry. It’s really well documented. In fact, maybe the most laughable part of this issue recently has been the popular explanation for the “hoax” of warming: that it’s all being pushed by clean-energy interests. Do people who claim this ever stop to think about the fact that the dirty-energy interests have orders of magnitude more money and are very obviously spending tons to “debunk” climate change?
Also, I did want to directly address “bg,” who has the happy distinction of being the only denier to actually provide something resembling evidence. Unfortunately, the NCPA isn’t exactly a neutral source…at all. It’s a rightwing think tank, not a scientific organization; they can be trusted to find a way to make the data support conservative ideology. However, you should also note this line in that very same study:
“CO2 levels have been fairly constant for the last 10,000 years. Largely due to human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, CO2 levels have risen approximately 35 percent since the beginning of the industrial revolution, with more than 80 percent of that rise occurring since 1950.”
Even NCPA says we’re responsible for our CO2 increases. And elsewhere in the study they admit that those increases are the major cause of current warming. That should tell you something.
