The 2013 hurricane season just ended as one of the five quietest years since 1960. But dont expect anyone who pointed to last years hurricanes as proof of the need to act against global warming to apologize; the warmists dont work that way.
Warmist claims of a severe increase in hurricane activity go back to 2005 and Hurricane Katrina. The cover of Al Gores 2009 book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis, even features a satellite image of the globe with four major hurricanes superimposed....
And the media play along. For example, it somehow wasnt front-page news that committed believers in man-made global warming recently admitted theres been no surface global warming for well over a decade and maybe none for decades more. Nor did we see warmists conceding that their explanation is essentially a confession that the previous warming may not have been man-made at all.
That admission came in a new paper by prominent warmists in the peer-reviewed journal Climate Dynamics. They not only conceded that average global surface temperatures stopped warming a full 15 years ago, but that this pause could extend into the 2030s.
Mind you, the term pause is misleading in the extreme: Unless and until it resumes again, its just a stop. You dont say a bullet-ridden body paused breathing....
Yet none of this unsettles the rush to kill debate. The Los Angeles Times has even announced that it will no longer print letters to the editor questioning man-made global warming. Had the Times been printing before Columbus, perhaps it would have banned letters saying the Earth was round....
People have a right to religious and cult beliefs within reason. But the warmists have been proved wrong time and again, each time reacting with little more than pictures of forlorn polar bears on ice floes and trying to shut down the opposition. (More bad timing: Arctic ice increased by almost a third this past year, while that at the South Pole was thicker and wider than its been in 35 years.)
In war and in science, the bloodiest conflicts always seem to be the religious ones. Time for the American public to say its no longer going to play the victim in this one.
THURSDAY'S STORY
THIS is just the beginning. The really cold air and the really heavy snow is due later in the day, but snow is already falling today across the high country of New South Wales and Victoria.
And yes, it's December 5. The fifth day of summer. Your calendar is not wrong.
Snow is not a freak event in southern Australia in the warmer months. A small dusting usually appears on the higher parts of the Australian Alps at least once each summer.
