Coldest Winter in 100 Years

Britain facing one of the coldest winters in 100 years, experts predict

Britain is bracing itself for one of the coldest winters for a century with temperatures hitting minus 16 degrees Celsius, forecasters have warned.

They predicted no let up in the freezing snap until at least mid-January, with snow, ice and severe frosts dominating.

And the likelihood is that the second half of the month will be even colder....

It's cold in Great Britain, therefore, global warming is a lie.

Well, the way it was explained to me is that when there is a lot of ice cover, the white ice reflects the light and heat back into the atmosphere which makes the world seem a little warmer, because the atmosphere is being heated.

With the ice gone, the heat is being absorbed by the dark ocean, which is up to 7 miles thick, which means a temperature increase will take time. Since heat is not being reflected back into the atmosphere, it seems colder, but over time, with the ocean absorbing the heat, the planet heating up will be more apparent. Conservatives just assume you take some kind of temperature indicator outside and "take a temperature". For them, it's just that simple. Everything is "just that simple".

Now for conservatives, considering their lack of interest in anything that involves data or proof, it's no wonder they don't "believe". To them the entire world is a "belief". If you believe it, it's true. Doesn't matter the facts. Look at their foreign policy. Nothing has happened the way they "believed it should have happened. Rather than question their "beliefs", they just assume others are wrong, no matter the evidence. Some describe that as "delusional".

As an Obamabot, I will wait to see what my leader says about this new development.

Now for LIBERALS, considering their lack of interest in anything that involves what is not spoon-fed them, it's no wonder they don't "believe". To them the entire world is a "belief".

Well, um, once it's explained, it seems pretty obvious. Take a piece of white paper and a piece of dark paper outside into the sun. After a minute, which one feels warmer?

So if a dark ocean was covered with white ice and a dark ocean had no ice cover, which ocean would absorb heat from the sun? Come on now. Think it through. Remember the paper.

Sometimes under extreme AGW, it's gets cooler before it gets warmer hence the recent decline in temperature, but far and away the greatest change caused by AGW is that it mutated the term "Global Warming" into "Climate Change" or "the Great Climatic Googly Moogly"

Warmers are fucking morons, they long for the day when everything north of the Ohio River is once again under a mile of ice.

No, these are both true statements, not an if/then statement.
It currently IS cold in Great Britain.
Anthropogenic Global Warming is a lie.

Even if Great Britain was not cold, AGW would STILL be a lie.

. . . everything north of the Ohio River is once again under a mile of ice -- which will someday inevitably melt, thereby proving that the Great Climatic Googly Mooglers were right all along!

17F right now with a wind chill to -8F.






I blame Canada.

Good choice. LOL

Republican conservatives. What can you say? They are in a class all by themselves.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Um, isn't it supposed to get warmer with Global Warming?

Vee haff dat coffered! The PARADOXICAL EFFECT is our answer to any such contrary data (when vee are not buzy hiding or altering ze data, that is).

The Paradoxical Effect means, simply, that if it gets warmer, that's proof of AGW! Ah, but eef it getz COLDER? That is the paradoxical effect of AGW, and thus constitutes proof that AGW exists! See? It iz zimple!

And don't giff us any of zat jazz that says "so your theory is, by design, not falsifiable." Ve vill NOT tolerate such blasphemy! Ve vill SCHMERE you!

I have peer reviewed this post and found it 100% accurate.

A single penguin does not an ice age make.

While it is true that this is a very cold year pretty much throughout the northern hemisphere, this one data point does not disprove the theory.

But it should be noted that according the the models of the great climate scientists, this is not supposed to be happening. I do think it is a good idea that if the observed data fails to match the model, the model must have flaws and should be reviewed. But I fear that for many, they will still stand in their parkas atop the snowdrifts in august (were such a thing to happen) and claim the earth is getting hotter, direct evidence of their own eyes to to the contrary.

Several things were supposed to happen this year, among them several force 5 hurricanes. We didn't get any.

I was mistaken earlier. I thought it was 17 degrees here. I just went out to get some pop and it's 8.

Yes to all that an in addition, the claim Sinatra brings once again as fact is only a mere prediction.

Real scientific.
