From here The Global Warming kooks have been getting really desperate since their frenzied predictions of a hurricane season full of superstorms failed to pan out. They didn't even wait to start in with their "sky is falling" crap.
Further evidence that, for many secular-types, Global Warming assumes the level of a religion. Swap "God" in for "Global Warming" and the story scans just as effectively. And is just as credible. Because we pollute, Global Warming is punishing us. Because we're tolerant of gays God is punishing us. six to one, half a dozen to the other. And like any religion, the Global Warmers want us to alter our wicked ways to appease their God.
Kerry made thse comments this week, and the source refuting him is a post made on a website last year? That doesn't raise any red flags with anyone?
It's entirely possible, but neither Senator Kerry or any of us (save possibly Bulldog) are capable of knowing anything in relation to the climate beyond what we're told from scientists. That said, I'm sure the amount of hot air he spews is contributing more CO2 than my car.
And while we're at it, the Kerry quote does not mention tornadoes, but other weather patterns which the one meteorologist clearly sets apart from tornadoes in his post: Tornadoes are so difficult to explore that we know little about their connection or disconnect to global warming, as opposed to other kinds of storms, rain etc.
Yet that same storm system caused record snows in the midwest. We are entering into tornado season, so outbreaks like this are not that uncommon.
One meteorologist at the premiere research facility for tornadoes in the world, in the same town as one of the most renown meteorological schools in the nation. It doesn't matter when the quote was made, he's apt to be more right than any politician.
These sorts of tornadoes are kind of unusual for February — normally there isn't enough warm air contained in low-pressure bubbles to create this sort of energy when the lows run into high pressure bubbles, that's more typical of spring/summer fronts that often bring thunderstorms. Could it be related to global warming? Sure. But we've seen all sorts of weather anomalies over the years, so any single event is possible regardless of the Earth's temperature. So no single event convinces me of anything. I look pretty much only at average temperature and icepack coverage, as those are things that would be impacted by serious systemic change.
I blame the incredible torrent of unstable hot air coming from his mouth - but it could be the low pressure from the vacuum in his empty head.
Not all that unusual, but a bit early. This is a classic spring storm system- severe weather in the front, heavy snow in the back. The fact that it has been rather warm in the east is balanced out with the fact of the very heavy snowpack in the west, which is typical. As usual, the weather has a way of balancing itself out. It has been cold in the east since Christmas. Then we get a few warm days (the typical February Thaw) and people start and jump on the GW bandwagon, hoping to make political hay out of 59 deaths. Kerry and his ilk are nothing more than ambulance chasers.
But they have a host of Global Warming True Believers who lap up their every divine utterance on the subject. That's so much better than your average ambulance chaser...
What? Kerry stuck his foot in his mouth again? Say it ain't so! Leave it to this asshat to take a tragic event and try to punch an agenda with it. The really pathetic thing is people actually think this guy is Mr. Wonderful. Deluded crop of idiots IMO.
I'm surprised Al Gore isn't at Ground Zero, Nobel Prize in one hand, Oscar in the other, lecturing the tornado victims if that they'd only voted for Democrats and supported Kyoto, none of this would have happened.
But then we get a 2-day cold snap in the winter (gosh! It gets cold in the winter!) and a bunch of other folks say it's proof there's no such thing as global warming.
China's having a record breaking cold winter....those coal fired power plants will have to work harder to keep up with demand!
