Now, did you think they were going to blame the abnormal conditions, otherwise known as “weather,” on anything other than Mankind?
As sub-zero weather conditions swept across the country this week, even bringing light snow to Auckland Park in Joburg on Friday morning, speculation was rife that we are starting to feel the effects of climate change.
But an expert climatoÂlogist said this was not necessarily the case and that this year’s cold Âwinter was nothing out of the ordinary for South ÂAfrica.
Obviously, he must be in the pay of Big Oil or Big Coal.
“Yes, it is unusual but not unprecedented,†said climatologist Dr Willem Landman.
“People always get worked up about climate change, but it is Âpredicted that we will only be able to see its real effects decades from now.â€
He added that weather Âscience has not even developed sufficiently to accurately Âpredict weather patterns over the next five to 10 years.
But, the weather isn’t climate! Only climate is climate! Because someone drove a car! Or took a fossil fueled airplane trip for a UN IPCC sponsored sunny vacation conference in Durban, S.A., at the end of November 2011! Climate magically started to change for the first time in 4 billion years in 1980!
Anyone else suspect that the Gore Effect will strike Durban, like it did in Mexico last year? Anyhow, you have to love how some people actually blame greenhouse gases for snow and ice.
