About That Whole Global Warming Thing

As any person living in the northern (and some southern sections) of the nation can tell you, it's been friggin' cold this year. The facts support the feeling:

Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.

The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average."

You may be saying that 0.3 F is no big deal but the global warmenist's have been getting unending press coverage for saying the temperature will increase one or two degrees over the next 10-20 years. This is a major drop when compared to the entire 20th Century and it happened in one single year.

Again, I wouldn't generally say that one year makes or breaks the GW argument but the supporters of the theory use individual days and events to bolster their claims so why can't I play by their rules? The east coast south of New York has been rather balmy this year while the north has been pummeled, which happens every few years. However, last year was brutally frigid in February because these things are cyclical and have been for millenia. Taken together this data proves, well, exactly nothing. But it does make the warmenist's look silly and that's reason enough to post it.

Also, keep in mind that China is ground zero for carbon emissions and they're getting hammered.
