Exaggerated Global Warming Claims … More Global Warming in Denver, Colorado … Biggest October Snow in 12 Years

That Pesky October Snow, Global Warming and Exaggerated Claims … Oh my!

And once again we are presented with more Global Warming and question why a Democrats are trying to force “Cap & Tax” down the throats of Americans. What, exaggerated claims from the global warming crowd with an agenda undermine the cause? Say it isn’t so! The global warming claims are exaggerated?

Excessive statements about the decline of Arctic sea ice, severe weather events and the probability of extreme warming in the next century detract from the credibility of robust findings about climate change, they said.

Hey Al Gore … Global Warming? An Inconvenient Weather Forecast

Hey Al Gore, want to rethink that global warming documentary? Looks like the MLB National League Division Series game 3 has been postponed due to some “Inconvenient” cold weather and snow.

Snowman_parkbench

Is that All Gore hiding under the snow?

With their National League Division Series tied at one game apiece and with no clear starter for Game 3 in Colorado tomorrow night, the Phillies face an uncertain future. But a swath of winter weather that is scheduled to move into the Denver area today could provide some unconventional relief.

It’s not just in Colorado. They are predicting SNOW for Chicago, Il for Sunday. Not just snow, freezing temperatures as well. In Boise, Id the snow is already piling up and what might be the earliest snow days off from school in state history.

First Atlantic Tropical Storm of the Year, ANA Heads Toward the Leeward Islands

First Atlantic tropical storm of the year forms.

Tropical storm Ana has formed over the Atlantic and become the first named storm of the season. According to The National Hurricane Center, TD#2 was upgraded to a Tropical Storm and it presently has sustainable winds of 40 mph and is headed toward The Leeward Islands.

Ana is a very weak storm at this point and although the forecast cone right now is pointed straight at Florida by Thursday morning, there are still many factors yet to play out in the future of this storm. 

Ana’s forecast intensity is to become a strong tropical storm 4 to 5 days out.  However, this is the middle of the road approach in terms of forecasts since the models are nowhere near agreement with her future.

Global Warming Alert: Chicago Sees Coldest July In 67 Years

 Global Warming Alert …

According to The National Weather Service, Chicago, Illinois sees the coldest July in 67 years. Not one day in the month of July did the temperature reach 90 degrees. There were 13 days when the temperature did not exceed 80 degrees. So if “man” did not reduce CO2 emissions during this period of time, why were temperatures colder, not warmer? That’s right, it could have nothing to do with weather patterns and the environment … it’s all man’s fault.

Have you left your air conditioner in the closet this summer, and worn long pants more often than shorts? If so, you may not be surprised to find out that Chicago is seeing its coldest July in more than 65 years.

The National Weather Service says 2009 has seen the coldest July since the official recording station was moved away from the lakefront in 1942. The average temperature this month in Chicago has been a mere 68.9 degrees.

Al Gore, Barack Obama and the rest of the corrupt cap & trade folks … It’s not easy being Green and pushing a science when the data comes back just the opposite is it?

Hey Al, Did You get the MEMO? 3000 Low Temperature Records Set in July 2009

Hey Al Gore, it really is not easy being Green is it? More to the point, not easy claiming global GoreGreenwarming when 3000 low temperature records were set in July 2009. Even your beloved Nashville, TN experienced record lows in July.

Care to explain how temperatures can be so low when the same amounts of CO2 are being emitted into the atmosphere? Maybe, just maybe there are other things that affect climates other than the science that the “global warming” cries? Maybe, just maybe, it’s cyclical and man has nothing to do with the temperature changes.

It’s not just the surface land temps — Blog reader Tim points out “Water temps at Frying Pan Shoals (off Cape Fear) fell to 78 degrees a few days ago; NDBC historical data shows this occurs only 0.3% of the time in July!” Here’s a look at the weekly departure from normal sea-surface temperatures:

Global_Warming_Acuuweather

This map which shows the lack of 85-degree days in the Northeast through July 20th

First, some stats. 1,044 daily record low temperatures have been broken this month nationwide according to NCDC — count record “low highs” and the number increases to 2,925, surely to pass 3,000 before the end of the month. Some thoughts on the ‘low highs” below.*

As the Cap & Trade or is it Cap & Tax or is it as it as Republican Minority House Leader John Boehner  think called the Climate bill, “a ‘pile of s–t’.”

The following is a partial comment from one of the reader at accuweather.com that pretty much sums up the entire controversy regarding global warming, “I think it is becoming apparent that the science of climatology is much more complex and unpredictable than many ‘experts’ extol …”

Just recently, The Corner asks, has Global Warming stopped? Is it any wonder why the green crowd now calls it climate change.

Its All about the Timing … Global Warming Conference Held in Buffalo, NY with -6 Degrees Temperatures

Talk about bad timing …

The “Global Warming” crowd may want to get a clue and a better sense of timing when it comes to holding events. Buffalo State College hosts the national teach in conference on Global Warming Situations on the very day that local temperature bottomed out at minus 6 degrees. It is kind of hard to get serious about global warming when one cannot feel their toes due to the cold. Also, would not it have been ironic for those attending the conference that it took more time to warm up their cars than to actually travel top the event?

No evidence of global warming here, at least not this morning, when unofficial reports to the National Weather Service listed temperatures as low as 9 degrees below zero elsewhere in Erie County.

Global Warming in Holland … The Netherlands Canels Freeze Over … The Return of Hans Brinker

The ghost of Hans Brinker says, Al Gore and global warming be damned as thousands Hans_Brinkerof Dutch strap on their silver skates.

Hey Al, they didn’t seem to get your memo on global warming in The Netherlands. For the first time in 12 years the Netherlands’ canals froze this month. The Dutch strapped on their skates ala Hans Brinker as the freezing temperatures afforded an increasingly rare chance to skate across their flat country.

After more than a week of cold, an estimated 2.3 million skaters, out of a population of 16 million, have taken to frozen canals and lakes, according to a poll released ahead of the weekend.

That number is expected to double if Queen Beatrix decides to don her skates as well.

“The number of opportunities you have to skate in the Dutch winter is decreasing,” said Jochem van de Laarschot, who usually speaks on behalf of Dutch food retailer Ahold but took a half a day off last week to skate.

A Rare Deep Freeze Warms the Dutch Soul

UPDATE I: 44% Say Global Warming Due To Planetary Trends, Not People

A recent Rasmussen poll shows that 44% of people now believe that global warming is due to planetary trends and not people. Hey Al, you seem to be losing the battle even though you have all of the liberal MSM in your pocket. All this and Al Gore is losing the propaganda war. In July 2006, 46% of those polled said that global warming was primarily caused by man, while 35% said it was planetary. Americans now are not buying that they are to blame.

Al Gore’s side may be coming to power in Washington, but they appear to be losing the battle on the idea that humans are to blame for global warming.

Forty-four percent (44%) of U.S. voters now say long-term planetary trends are the cause of global warming, compared to 41% who blame it on human activity.

Seven percent (7%) attribute global warming to some other reason, and nine percent (9%) are unsure in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Blaming man for global warming support waning. How soon will Al Gore be blaming man for the impending Ice Age?

Red State gets the prize for the best title of post for loss of support from the blame man crowd … “An Inconvenient Poll”.

Can’t we have just a little warming? Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman Says He will move “quickly and decisively” to push legislation curbing greenhouse gases (Global Warming)

Nice timing Waxman … Congressman declares war on Global Warming day before coldest day of the year.

California Democratic US Representative Henry Waxman awaits the opening of the news Congress so that he can rush in to have the first hearings on global warming as he said, “he will move ‘quickly and decisively’ to push legislation curbing greenhouse gases with a goal of passing climate legislation out of his committee before Memorial Day”. Let’s hope Henry’s car starts this morning with record low temps across the US so that he can get to work.

It reminds me of a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where Sir Galahad the Pure asks for just a little peril, and in this case would be warming.

Sir Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
Sir Galahad: I don’t think I was.
Sir Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
Sir Lancelot: No, it’s too perilous.
Sir Galahad: Look, it’s my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
Sir Lancelot: No, we’ve got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
Sir Galahad: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?

“Our environment and our economy depend on congressional action to confront the threat of climate change and secure our energy independence,” said Waxman. “U.S. industries want to invest in a clean energy future, but uncertainties about whether, when and how greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced is deterring these vital investments.”

Waxman’s timing also harkens back to January 2004 when Al Gore took to the podium in Manhattan’s Beacon Theater today to blasted President Bush for contributing to “global warming” on the coldest day in a decade in New York City.

One may not want to make comments regarding global warming when its 11 degree wind chills in Atlanta, GA and when the Deep South woke up to temperatures in the low teens. Chicago, Ill is experiencing sub-zero weather and windchills in the -50’s. The state of Maine may have just set a new record low as Big Black River, ME bottomed out at -50 degrees.

Hey Al Gore What About Global Warming, Pravda Says Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age

The Ice Age Cometh. Does Pravda have more credibility than Al “Earth in the Balance” Gore? Has it finally come to this?

Note to Al Gore, Earth on the brink of an “Ice Age”. Obviously Al did not get the memo. Talk about an Inconvenient Truth, as News Busters states … As Democrats and their president-elect, with invaluable assistance from their media minions, continue spreading climate hysteria in order to raise taxes and redistribute wealth, a possibly inconvenient truth has just been presented to the international community: “The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age.

The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.

Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations all demonstrate a regular cyclic pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each last about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years.
