Glerbal Werming update: It's Cold

It's been a really bad couple of weeks for warming kooks.

First, a ship of fools gets stranded in Antarctic summer ice…that is, summer ice. Two ice breakers fail to reach their ice bound ship, one gets stranded in ice….again, that is summer ice. Hilarity ensues, of course.

There's been some talk about the "carbon footprint" they created with their fools errand; first they promised to plant 500 trees (snicker), but some wit has used their own calculator to figure it's gonna take more like 5000 to offset their little trip....get plantin' boys.

Meanwhile, back at the ice pack, that's the summer ice pack, don't forget, the crew of the ice bound Chinese Ice breaker can be counted on to take a more pragmatic tack, Chinese are nothing if not pragmatic. They're probably leaping over the gunwales with belaying pins clenched in their teeth to dispatch some Harp seals to offset their losses.

=============================================================

Now, it’s cold here in the US. No, it’s really cold. It’s colder than it’s ever been in many parts of the country. It’s so cold, most warming scientists, with a shred of self respect have pulled the covers over their heads, fat government grants be damned; “No comment”.

But that doesn’t mean their pointy headed enablers on the left aren’t giving it the ol’ college try..

“Can global warming be real if it’s cold in the U.S.? Um… yes!”

Wait for it…yeah, you know what I mean…. 

“A cold winter in the United States doesn't disprove global warming any more than you can get rid of a fever by sticking your hand in ice water.”

Of course it doesn’t dear Ezra.  Weather isn't climate, isn't that how it goes? At least not when the finger is being pointed at you. But, when it’s hot, well now, that’s another story isn’t it?

2012 Has Been Warmest Year In U.S. To Date, Third Hottest Summer

So, what’s the NOAA have to say?

“Many areas of the world experienced higher-than-average monthly temperatures, including: much of Eurasia, coastal Africa, Central America, central South America, parts of the North Atlantic Ocean, the south west Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. Much of southern Russia, northwest Kazakhstan, south India, southern Madagascar, parts of the central and south Indian Ocean, and sections of the Pacific Ocean were record warm. Meanwhile, northern Australia, parts of North America, south west Greenland, and parts of the Southern Ocean near South America were cooler than average.”

Been hot, then cold…be hot again next August, probably. 

But right now, here in Greenville, SC, it's cold. And it's gonna be colder tomorrow. Don't know 'bout all y'all, but I'm heading down to the BiLo to stock up on milk and bread, just to be sure.
