Extreme Winter Storms Aren’t Inconsistent With Climate Crisis (scam) Or Something

This is not a retread article. This is a new one. I’m not even looking for this stuff purposefully. It’s showing up on Yahoo’s front page and when I search “climate change” on Google. The ones this morning were front and center without even clicking the news link. This was prominent on the Yahoo front page. Because it is a cult, and cults have to sync their messages and then get them out

Extreme winter storms aren’t inconsistent with global warming and will continue for decades, expert says

The massive winter storm that buried much of the United States in snow this week bringing record-setting cold across the plains and knocking out the power grid in Texas is not inconsistent with climate change, a leading expert told Yahoo News.

“We haven’t had enough warming to eliminate cold events, and we shouldn’t expect to have enough warming to eliminate cold events in the mid-latitudes for some time,” Noah Diffenbaugh, a climate scientist at Stanford University, said in phone interview on Tuesday.

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, global temperatures have risen by just over one degree Celsius, enough to significantly alter weather events, but certainly not enough to put an end to winter storms. (snip)

“Our climate change present is that we are already in a climate that has changed significantly and that the change of one degree Celsius has already been enough to increase the frequency and severity of many different kinds of many different kinds of extreme events,” Diffenbaugh said. “We see this very clearly in extreme hot events, where our research has shown that the probability of record setting hot events has already increased by more than 80 percent of the global surface area. For extreme wet events and extreme dry events, in terms of high and low precipitation, that number is about 50 percent — we’ve already seen increases in probability in about half of the globe so far.”

OK, that’s a new Hotcold take. See, the slight 1.5F increase in global temperatures since 1850, caused by you and your predecessors, is not only not killing off winter storms, but, is making them more extreme. But, in the future, your carbon footprint will kill them off in a couple decades (and, when it doesn’t happen, the cult will say that’s further Proof of the climate crisis).

Then the doomsday climate cult propaganda piece delves into wildfires and hot weather and sea rise before, deep in the article

What is unclear, however, is whether climate change is making winter storms like this week’s blizzard more severe. That’s because climate systems are highly complex and based on myriad factors.

So the whole leadup is a bunch of mule fritters? There’s an old saying with Internet pieces: most people read the first three paragraphs or 30 seconds. How many never made it to the “unclear” part? How many simply read the headline?

    Here in Louisiana we are in a world of hurt. Electrical requirements are far above normal and can not be met due to a lack of power plants and total failure of so called green energy. This then caused lose of water pressure as pumps could not work without electricity. The water pipes started breaking due to freezing from poor flow.. We have had winter weather before but the power plants were there to meet our needs. What is the difference? The magic negro (Obama) shut down the coal generated plants in the first year of his administration. So this crisis is secondary to even further damage by Obama and the liberal response to the CO2 hoax. Add that to the excessive, idiotic response to the COVID and we are not having a good time, mostly secondary to Obama and the liberal/ communist. If the election had not been stolen and Trump was in power, we would have some hope. Time for revolution.

      First, you have to wait for Competent America to bail you rebels out. Then you can start your civil war.

  2. Kye says:

    RIP ElRushbo. The EIB Golden Microphone went silent today. I see it took no time for the vulgar leftists to show the world their depravity and insidious low morals. Good for them. As our friend here says: All you have is hate. You’re all a bunch of miserable bastards.

    BTW Elwood, the civil war has already started back in 2016 when you guys claimed Trump “stole” the election. And after 3 years of bitching and moaning like the little faggots you are your investigation proved nothing and Trump was exonerated. Now you get all pissy again because you actually stole an election and you know we know it. We will crush you because you’re all sissy-boys and dykes. Men with tits in womens sports.

    If the chairman Xiden hadn’t stolen the election with fraud, graft and corruption we would be heading for good times instead of a senile pederast waging war against the American people, eliminating jobs and spending our money on foreigners.

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      There is no evidence that “that former guy” won the election. He lost, bigly. But you know that.

      Crush away, mad man. We’ll see if America survives your rebellion.

      “I’ve never wished a man dead, but some obituaries I’ve read with great pleasure.” – attributed to a famous Missourian, Mark Twain

      When he was alive I said Rush Limbaugh was the worst thing to happen to America. tRump changed my mind about that.

      • Michelle says:

        Rather ironic that you quoted Mark Twain as he would have much to say about your general view of the world and about just how warped it is as you are one of the problems and don’t even realize it. So typical of the indoctrinated undead that call themselves antifa/blm/Left but who in actual fact are more Nazi than the SA were. But why let truth interfere with your delusions eh?

        • Elwood P. Dowd says:

          We appreciate your thoughtful input.

          Do you believe that “that other guy” actually won the election? Is that one of your “truths”?

  3. Hairy says:

    Of course as the atmosphere warms it will hold more energy and extreme weather events will become more common

  4. Kye says:

    “There is no evidence that “that former guy” won the election. He lost, bigly. But you know that.”

    What I know is that many, many election night irregularities occurred and you fascists on the left, having control of the media and the narrative, refuse to even check them out. To me and 100 million Americans who actually love our country that’s prima face evidence you cheated, corrupted the election and installed a phony, senile, pedophile as leader who couldn’t have gotten 80 million votes hiding in his basement the entire campaign. You know it, we know it and it kills you that you know we know you know it. That’s why a protest about the vote, infiltrated with BLM/Antifa thugs, got a little out of hand. The only fatality being a young unarmed Patriot murdered by Fascist cops while posing no physical threat. C-O-L-D B-L-O-O-D. That’s also why you cowards have the Capitol surrounded with troops. You know what happens to Tyrants and are trying to protect your Nazi leadership.

    Those troops are not there because some “insurrectionist” found his way to Pelosi’s chair and another walked off with her podium. The leadership all knows what is coming and they know it won’t sit well. The Green Zone is for what’s to come. Hence the immediate priority of purging/intimidating the military and creating the myth that the ghost of Nate Forrest and his pal, the 12th Invisible Hitler are hiding under every bed. Just watching Sundown Joe fumble his way through that town hall–with Cooper crutching him every step of the way, leads me to believe it will be sooner.

    The troops are there to prevent demonstrations against the junta as it implements “emergency” police state measures. The regime is willing to look horrible to the rest of the world as long as it can implement totalitarianism.

    Dissent will not be tolerated.

    “Crush away, mad man. We’ll see if America survives your rebellion.”

    Our “rebellion”? How is reestablishing our Constitution and throwing out the lying corrupt democommie billionaires, their complicit media hacks and their useful idiots (like yourself) a rebellion? It’s a Genuine American Restoration. Lead by True Patriots against America hating neo Nazis who think they can steal the vote, lock down our businesses, unemploy our workers at whim and collapse our economy.

    ““I’ve never wished a man dead, but some obituaries I’ve read with great pleasure.” – attributed to a famous Missourian, Mark Twain”

    I don’t believe you never wished a man dead. Nobody with that much hate inside could have held themselves back. You’re no exception.

    “When he was alive I said Rush Limbaugh was the worst thing to happen to America. tRump changed my mind about that.”

    So hate, murder, mooslem attacks, natural disasters and man made Red Commie Flu type disasters were not as bad as Rush and Donald? Simply because they held different political opinions? They are/were both speaking to the Common Man. The worker, the store owner, the small businessman and non-essential laborer’s working to bring home the bacon to support their families. They weren’t speaking to bigoted elitist’s and frauds like you and your fascist comrades who look down on us. Your priorities, like your brain are all fuked up. Your compassion for working guys is a real as your ability to see past a persons race and into their character. It’ is nonexistent.

    As usual your comment has nothing to contribute but veiled hate and anti American animosity.

    The stolen facts!

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      Like you, “that former guy” keeps pushing the Big Lie that electoral fraud hid his overwhelming victory. You and “that former guy” keep having tantrums, stamping your feet and squealing about the election, using it as a pretext for overthrowing America. Crush away, overthrow the government and install “that former guy” as Big Brother for life. But if you think that is evidence of patriotism and love of America you’re more fukked in the head than previously revealed. Your objective is to establish a white, Christian homeland, as you often disclose.

      You’re part of personality cult and much of what you believe is false.

      Good luck.

      Kye: What I know is that many, many election night irregularities occurred and you fascists on the left, having control of the media and the narrative, refuse to even check them out.

      Sixty courts looked at the allegations and found no evidence of significant fraud.

      • alanstorm says:

        Sixty courts looked DISMISSED the allegations. No wonder they found no evidence of significant fraud.

        You sound like a religious fundamentalist – “The Bible said it, I believe it, that settles it.”

        Just replace “The Bible” with “The State”.

        • Elwood P. Dowd says:

          alan,

          So you no longer trust the US court system? Do you think the courts were in on “the fix”?

          Do you think the Deep State (all our courts, agencies, NIH, Congress, USDA, NSC, DOD, DHS, NOAA, ICE, IRS, FBI, CIA, SEC, FEC, CDC, FCC, EPA, Energy, Education etc) are so hopelessly corrupt that they need to be purged and personnel replaced with “patriots”?

        • Zachriel says:

          alanstorm: Sixty courts looked DISMISSED the allegations.

          That’s because no evidence of significant fraud was ever provided to the courts. The courts are an independent branch of government.

          alanstorm: Just replace “The Bible” with “The State”.

          You have provided no evidence that the courts didn’t rule according to the evidence and law. Many of the judges were appointed by Trump.

          • Kye says:

            They did not dismiss the allegations because they never reviewed them. They simply refused to consider them at all. BTW, no evidence of “significant fraud” is required for review, just fraud with no qualifier. Courts were told not to review ANY complaints for fear they then would be required to review ALL complaints. We couldn’t have that now, could we? What a can of worms that would open.

            The reason DC is now an occupied fortress is because the election was a fraud and the fascists in charge believe We The People will rise and hang their worthless asses. Little do they know how docile the American people have become. But they’re fast learners so be prepared for complete erasure of more and more Constitutional rights some, like Freedom of Speech, by proxy in collusion with their billionaire oligarchs.

            They are so afraid that being in denial about their treachery is their only comfort.

            Francis W. Porretto of Liberty’s Torch puts it this way:

            Quite a lot of Americans have already retreated into their personal or familial shells. Our occupations have been eliminated or transformed beyond recognition. Our social centers have been crippled; our houses of worship have been shuttered. Our interpersonal contacts have degenerated to Zoom meetings, email, and brief exchanges muttered through face masks.

            Perhaps worst, the average American now watches every word he says, constantly fearful that some offhand remark might cause someone to condemn him: for racism; for sexism; for homophobia; for “transphobia;” or as a “domestic terrorist.” The fear is especially great among those who work for others, which is most of us.

            American society as we knew it has largely ceased to exist. It’s been destroyed by all-consuming fear. We’re paralyzed by our fears, unable to suppress them sufficiently even to think.

            Why?

            Because we’ve been propagandized into fear. Our political Establishment has discovered that the royal road to power is through a media-conducted fear campaign. Irony of ironies, at a time when we should be rising in righteous wrath against the political class and its media cat’s-paws, our fears are mostly of one another: private citizen of private citizen.

            It doesn’t help that so many of our countrymen have descended into the depths of politically founded hatred. In this, too, the media have taken a hand. When those who wield the big megaphones repeatedly condemn those who dissent from their dispensations as enemies of all that’s true and good, a fair fraction of those listening will believe them, the evidence notwithstanding.

            That’s the hole Elwood and perhaps Hairy live in. A hole dug by partisan corruption and concealed by a blanket of media lies and hatred.

          • Elwood P. Dowd says:

            Kye,

            Those that support “that former guy” believe that he was cheated out of the election, despite there being no evidence to support the charge.

            Note that no one mentions Dominion Voting any longer since they threatened to sue the defamers. “Truth” is what supports the accusations – it seems the defamers didn’t have “truth”.

            The supporters of the “former guy” could still make their case, but can’t.

            “That former guy” made it all up.

          • Zachriel says:

            Kye: They did not dismiss the allegations because they never reviewed them.

            No such allegations were provided to the courts. Giuliani even said they weren’t alleging fraud.

            Kye: They simply refused to consider them at all. BTW, no evidence of “significant fraud” is required for review, just fraud with no qualifier.

            Isolated cases of voter fraud were investigated and brought to the courts.

          • david7134 says:

            Kyle,
            Good comment but it is useless with the idiots that willfully do not understand what happened. But, just think, with the new rules of election fraud Trump will have no problems with the next election. Liberals just don’t understand that others can use the same methods when the law is not enforced. It will be interesting to see if the Supremes are as corrupt as the rest of our government appears. But, we are meeting and getting prepared to offer the supreme response suggested by Jefferson.

          • Elwood P. Dowd says:

            Of course people are criticized for what they say. Not certain what your complaint is. Laws do not limit conservative speech regardless of how vile. You can call people niXXers, faggots, spics, muzzies, trannies all you want, but those around you can criticize you freely. If you’re afraid your employer might object that your outburst could reflect poorly on the organization, perhaps you SHOULD be careful about what you say and do.

    Since Elwood quoted Twain I figured I’d give him a dose of my favorite.

    Rudyard Kipling writing about Elwood and his lying, cheating, envious democommie comrades and their new “equity” plan after stealing an election:

    They said: “Who has hate in his soul? Who has envied his neighbour?
    Let him arise and control both that man and his labour.”
    They said: “Who is eaten by sloth? Whose unthrift has destroyed him?
    He shall levy a tribute from all because none have employed him.”
    They said: “Who hath toiled, who hath striven, and gathered possession?
    Let him be spoiled. He hath given full proof of transgression.”
    They said: “Who is irked by the Law? Though we may not remove it.
    If he lend us his aid in this raid, we will set him above it!”
    So the robber did judgment again upon such as displeased him,
    The slayer, too, boasted his slain, and the judges released him.

    Exactly what the fascist left is doing to America. Filthy traitors ripping the Constitution to shreds because they hate Trump.

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      Once your rebellion is successful, and “that former guy” is re-installed (for life? to be passed down to Baby Don) how will you deal with the “filthy traitors ripping the Constitution to shreds”? Imprisonment, hanging, deportation, firing squad, live evisceration? beheaded? burned at the stake? Don’t you think the public beheading of a few prominent democommies would bring others in line?

      Face it, since America has devolved to such a state that men such as you hardly recognize it, the necessity for strict temporary guidelines /rules become necessary. Would you federalize the vote to prevent the sort of state by state fraud you think you saw? In person voting with federal ID only? Stop the nonsense of time off for voting – if you can’t schedule your time smartly you shouldn’t be able to vote. Get rid of the two term limit. Make it a two-thirds majority vote to defeat an incumbent president OR his/her designated candidate. Call a Constitutional convention to completely rework the Constitution. Give the President veto power over all SCOTUS rulings.

  6. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    The increasingly reactionary Mr Kye is frothingly irate, equating the desire for equality as the equivalent of Soviet rule!!

    What is the worst offense of the lying, cheating “democommies”? The socialism of aiding Texas, LA, MS, AL recover from their snow/freeze emergency? The socialism of extending jobless benefits?

  7. Professor Hale says:

    What sort of sociopathic moron do you have to be to be living in an ice storm where Americans are dying of COLD and you are still demanding everyone impoverish themselves to keep the earth from getting 2 degrees warmer.

    If defies reason how so many people are militantly wedded to this position despite the fact that they will see zero benefit for themselves in their lifetime, no matter what they do. Obviously, wealthy connected Democrats, and their friends overseas, will get vastly wealthier.

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      Commenter typed: “… despite the fact that they will see zero benefit for themselves in their lifetime”.

      Can you think of no reason, not even one, of why someone would sacrifice today for the good of others tomorrow?

    There is no such thing as alterations in weather and climate due to CO2, well established. The one and only method put forward to lower carbon is world communism, thus fortifying the concept of a hoax.
