Well the Guru of Global Warming has made a statement as follows:
Last week on his show Bill O’Reilly asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?” and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question.
As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming:
“In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow.”
“A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species.”
Now this is one of those, "Do you believe me or your lying eyes" type statement. Let me explain:
1. Snow is frozen water, true fact.
2. Yes warm air collects moisture, which is why there is so little snow in the Arctic. Too dry.
3. Here is where the train leaves the rails. Some how it has to hit a patch of cold air, that is what is happening, the Jet Stream has dipped so low into the US that it is cold in places it has never been cold before. So it that Global Warming or National Cooling or both. Somehow you cannot have it both ways. To get snow you need water and cold. The water can come from anywhere, it moves along fronts, but the cold is cold. Not warming. When the Jet Stream moves so far south as it has this winter then is this weather or climate. To Global Warming purists it is weather, to the Guru it is what it is not.
Or as my squirrel friend has just said, it is just snow stupid. And we throw them another few ears of corn!
