Never mind the “Climategate” scandal of last November, which involved thousands of emails and other documents being hacked into revealing the manipulation of data by “credible” climatologists whom falsely molded statistical data and graphs to appear as if global temperatures were increasing; or The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) assessment of scientific evidence on climate change observing that reductions in mountain ice in the Andes, Alps, and Africa were completely based off of anecdotal evidence from mountaineers and a dissertation by a college student; the “Al Gore Inconvenient Truthers” have hit an all time low (along with their leading Indoctrinator-In-Chief: The New York Times).
In case you’ve been out of the loop, Washington, D.C. has, “topped off what’s now the nastiest Washington winter on record-54.9 inches of snow for the season so far,” according toThe Wall Street Journal. Baltimore and Philadelphia also crushed season snow level records this week.
The blizzards hitting the northern Atlantic the past couple of weeks have surely intensified a sudden defensive posture among the “liberal elites.” And paradoxically, their mantra for the recent cold weather trends is none other than “manmade global warming.”
“Most climate scientists respond that the ferocious storms are consistent with forecasts that a heating planet will produce more frequent and more intense weather events,” as The New York Times argued. Granted, I’m just a political science major, however, am I the only person who finds this to be completely oxymoronic?
Let’s not forget former Vice President Al Gore’s famous quote from his 2007 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, “So today, we dumped another 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet, as if it were an open sewer. And tomorrow, we will dump a slightly larger amount, with the cumulative concentrations now trapping more and more heat from the sun. As a result, the earth has a fever.” Mr. Gore is nowhere to be found as of late. My guess is that he’s either traveling the world on his private jet or lost in his 20-room home that consumes more than 20 times the national average in electricity.
The point is that whether temperatures are trending upwards or downwards, if a year has little snow or breaks snowfall records, the “liberal elites” blame these trends on “manmade global warming.” It’s a lot like when your significant other breaks up with you and then suddenly becomes angered once you’ve move on and date other people.
Weather Underdog blogger and meteorologist, Jeff Masters, argues that the recent snowstorms alone cannot account for the definitive long-term trajectory of the planet, for, “Climate is, by definition, a measure of decades and centuries, not months or years.”
In a chart prepared by Climatologist Cliff Harris and Meteorologist Randy Mann, the two men illustrate the climate change that has taken place tracing all the way back to 2500 B.C. The chart shows that temperatures in 1100 B.C. were actually warmer than any time period in the 20th century. Was General Motors selling its formerly most infamous “gas guzzler,” the hummer, over three thousand years ago? It even displays, like all credible climate change graphs, that temperatures have been declining since 1998.
To make matters worse for the “Al Gore Inconvenient Truthers,” Professor Phil Jones, “The academic centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair,” according to the BBC, admitted that there hasn’t been any “statistically significant” warming since 1998. Also, the head of the U.N.’s IPCC is stepping down amid the continued evidence of the “manmade global warming” hoax.
Nonetheless, I still subscribe to the Bush scapegoat theory for why the Earth is warming. Blaming the former president seems to be working out well for the Obama administration.
