But not just any snow. Snow when it is really, really cold
Britain may be in the grip of the coldest winter for 30 years and grappling with up to a foot of snow in some places but the extreme weather is entirely consistent with global warming, claim scientists.
Temperatures for December and January were consistently 1.8 F ( 1 C) lower than the average of 41 F (5 C)and 37 F (3C) respectively and more snow fell in London this week than since the 1960s.
But despite this extreme weather, scientists say that the current cold snap does not mean that climate change is going into reverse. In fact, the surprise with which we have greeted the extreme conditions only reinforces how our climate has changed over the years.
If you want, head on over to the story to read the “reasoning” for this, I don’t like to excerpt that much from one story, and I would have to excerpt quite a bit for the explanation. But it just goes to show that AGW supporters will go to any length to buck up their theories that global warming is man made.
And the snow and ice is so bad in England that they are running out of gritting salt to treat the roads.
Their shouldn’t be any disagreement that the Earth’s overall climate warmed since the end of the Little Ice age, but, seriously, being mostly or solely caused by Mankind is absurd. And, anyhow, a rise of 1.7F in over 150 years? Big woop. But when they speak of global warming and/or climate change in the news, they mostly man made. Somehow, something that has happened again and again and again, and happened before the invention of the SUV, can’t be happening now. Gotta be Man. And then the Believers wail “someone(else) should Do Something!”
Oh, in related news, Is Punxsutawney Phil responding to global warming? Natural, sure. But, he’s an overgrown rat. Don’t read too much in to it.
