The Critical Study of Global Temperatures. Senator James Inhoff, Chairman of the Senate Environment Committee, ponders a snowball. Scientists look at the earth.
Every Tea-Party Republican knows that Global Climate Change is a hoax, coz they dun heard Sean Hannity makin’ funnies ‘bout Al Gore’s house…hyuck! hyuck! hyuck!
And deniers wonder why we don’t take them seriously. As soon as someone has a serious critique, I will take it seriously. Until then, I have better things to do.
“Got a chuckle out of Inhofe saying it was “really, really cold” outside when he made a snowball.”Inhofe is a southern boy. They have a different definition of “cold” than us northerners. I found this out when my mother moved from Minnesota to Arizona 7 years ago. She now defines “cold” as below 70.
The laughter from Heaven about this 2014-2015 winter and all the cold and snow records being broken across the USA, must be echoing through Space and through our Galaxy!-“Global Warmers” and “Climate Changers” are the Comedians of Earth’s Northern Hemisphere, no doubt! I mean, “Dumb and Dumber” are those who do not believe in the Creator God of the Bible and His power to control everything about His Universe and our Earth!-(p.s. I personally thank God that He provides me with the ability to keep refilling my home’s propane tank, Smiley Face)
That was a really stupid headline. The statement far down in the article, “Heavy snow will return occasionally, says Dr Viner”, does not make up for the exaggeration in the rest of the article. And they totally failed to realize that the weather would become more extreme, with the AVERAGE temperatures on an inexorable rise.
I think the article you link to is indeed silly and exaggerated, but I note that the article itself doesn’t say that snow WAS a thing of the past, but that it WOULD BE a thing of the past:“David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes – or eventually “feel” virtual cold." Note the “ultimately”.But all that aside, the important question is here and now, what is happening and what do we expect will happen. I’m not a scientist, so I don’t make statements on my own authority, but as I read the people who do seem to have expertise, things have gotten warmer overall (with variation, of course, here and there), the climate has changed and it’s very likely to continue to change. Perhaps uncomfortably so. I haven’t yet seen any serious challenge to this position. If you’ve got a serious challenge, show us.

That snowball was smarter than Inhofe, unfortunately for America, he’s still around.
