It must be global warming.

Great Britain is experiencing its coldest winter since 1683 and possibly the coldest in 1,000 years.
The Star reported:
BRITAIN’S winter is the coldest since 1683 and close to being the chilliest in nearly 1,000 years.
Latest figures reveal that the average temperature since December 1 has been a perishing -1C.
That makes it the second coldest since records began in 1659.
The chilliest on record was 1683/84, when the average was -1.17C and the River Thames froze over for two months.
But with January and February to come, experts believe we could suffer the most freezing cold winter in the last 1,000 years.
Meanwhile… Across the pond, the the Obama Adminstration is going forward with its job-killing global warming policies. The Obama Adminstration, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and radical environmentalists are about to set greenhouse gas standards for American industry. The standards have drawn objections from opponents who say the law — last revised in 1990 — was never intended for such purposes. The new regulations will place heavy administrative burdens on state environmental quality agencies, will be costly to consumers and could be devastating to the economy and jobs.

America’s “power” has to diminish. You can’t defeat neocolonialism by strengthening the U.S. economy. You have to defeat America to help the rest of the world, especially the Third World that has been abused, colonized and exploited by the Super Powers throughout the years and recently by America.

Guess it was so cold back then because the Ottoman empire wasn’t driving electric cars and monitoring cow farts. The bahstids.
kansas commented:
Stop with the reports on how cold it is. It’s just encouraging the warmists.
Buffalobob commented:
It’s not about global warming, climate change, saving the planet. It’s about the money, just ask algore.
Jimbo commented:
This is a typical “Heads I win, tails you lose” scenario. The climate change cultists blame extreme heat AND extreme cold on SUVs, Nintendos, and Big Macs. If they would only walk the walk and give up THEIR cars, jets, yachts, 20,000 sq. ft. homes, etc. maybe the world would stabilize.
pete t commented:
Where were ya reporting all the record heat waves this year? Typical made up news here as usual
KR commented:
#7,
The east coast may have had hot spells this past summer, meanwhile the west coast was cooler than average.
It is called weather.
GLM In Ohio commented:
peetee …there were no “heat waves” in my neck of the woods this year. In Ohio, we didn’t have a SINGLE day over 100 degrees. Most summers, we see several, and it’s usually in the 90′s for weeks. Now, we’re in the snowiest, coldest December we’ve seen in a long time. Weather changes from year to year, and just because a few dorks who live in the city think the summers are too hot doesn’t mean the end of the world is coming. Try as you might, you just aren’t going to sell that hogwash here.
gus commented:
PeePee is retarded. He WANTS to believe, because his handlers told him too.
jainphx commented:
Obama wants to push legislation on Global warming because he needs more money to pass around to certain types of people, and unions. I’m just afraid that we will not fight hard enough to get these leeches out of office. How are Demoncraps any different from the Mafia, steal and corrupt.
Jones commented:
I don’t understand- I was told we were all going to die because the North Pole was melting and stuff
The All Real Numbers Symbol commented:
@ #12 – Yeah, I remember hearing about that too.
So, I guess we’re not all going to drown when the icecaps melt, then? What? They’re getting bigger? You don’t say. Well, it must be global warming!
In all seriousness, I’m getting tired of hearing about this. Climate change has been happening forever now, but now we all have to suffer so leftists can pass thier anti-human agenda. Thanks, but no thanks. If you wanna go live like Sasquatch in the woods, that’s up to you, but don’t demand that I go live like that too.
Marmo commented:
Yay! The cold weather proves that we defeated global warming! Now we can all shiver in the utopian world the warmists wanted for us.
Imagine a colder world with shorter growing seasons and less arable farmland in which to grow things. Tens of millions of people would die from starvation due to food shortages.
But hey, Gaia would no longer have a fe-vah so it’s all good. Right, warmists?

And now there is a frost advisory in southern California.

Lightwave commented:
Can we seriously string up every “scientist” and every politician who voted to use my tax money to study “global warming” now?
Paging Paul Ryan. You want to make cuts? Start with cutting billions at NOAA and the NWS and force them into reporting and predicting WEATHER, not wasting my tax dollars on CLIMATE.

This could be one of those quirks of nature or this is the beginning of another Little Ice Age.

Damn that Global Warming!

Neo,
You’ve selected a single (and poorly documented one, at that) estimate of the Holocene temperature record.
The average of several reconstructions does show that it is as warm now, if not warmer (and is predicted to be much warmer by 2100) than at any time in the last 10,000 years. Human civilization evolved during this time period of rather mild global temperatures.
Today in Missouri we’ve had near record highs and uncharacteristic winter tornadoes, killing at least 3. But this doesn’t prove global warming any more than snow in England disproves global warming.
The theory of man-made global warming doesn’t rule out snow in winter. Brrrr!
