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.

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.

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:

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.
