'Polar vortex' set to bring dangerous, record-breaking cold

'Polar vortex' set to bring dangerous, record-breaking cold to much of US | Fox News

As much of the country digs out from a powerful winter storm that buried parts of the Northeast, tundra-like temperatures are poised to deliver a rare and potentially dangerous blow to the Midwest, with forecasters predicting a near-record or historic cold outbreak.

The "polar vortex," as one meteorologist calls it, is expected to send cold air piled up at the North Pole down to the U.S., funneling it as far south as the Gulf Coast and driving temperatures below freezing for most of the nation.

Forecasters expect a weekend warm-up in some areas before temperatures plunge again, sending wind chill temperatures in areas in North Dakota and Minnesota to minus 50 degrees by Saturday night.

Those states are notorious for their cold winters, but states in the Mid-Atlantic and New England can also expect wind chill temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees.

That godam Global Warming!

 

[blastoff]

Amen. If it gets too much warmer people are gonna start freezing to death!

 

[Big Black Dog]

So, all of this damned cold weather we've been having in northwestern Illinois is actually global warming... Who would have ever thunk it?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

And yet, the idiots still deny global climate change.

Seriously, how can people be so damn dumb?

Climate Name Change

Well then, stop making shit up.

It really is that easy.

'Polar vortex' is it sweeps or something and the weather channel's over-dramatizing things?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Warmers are a cult. No science, no common sense, just following the random statements of their leaders

C'mon, AlGore wouldn't lie to us.

I used to live in Minneapolis. Fuck it was cold there. Anyway....it's supposed to hit -24 Sunday morning. That's actual temperature folks. It once hit -34 when I lived there in the late 90's. I called the place ice station zebra.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

All it will take to convince me that AWG is real is when you can show me a repeatable lab experiment that shows a temperature increase from adding 200PPM of CO2 to a control tank

The fact it's never been done can only mean the AGW Theory fails.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Global warming my ass.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Georgia is a subtropical climate. To have this kind of weather when we normally have very mild if not warm winters is abnormal. Its supposed to hit single digits this week. The last time it hit single digits down here was when I was 12 years old.

You are still too stupid to understand, and proud enough to begin a thread displaying your ignorance.

In Indiana we are experiencing, so far, the coldest avg. temp. winter in 8 years.
Tonite/tomorrow it is expected to reach 20 year lows for this early in January.

Global warming can kiss my ass.

I understand climate change perfectly; it is a scam based on faked data to get funding by various scientists and empower the government and themselves to be little tyrants.

That about sums it up exactly.

Why Hansen Had To Corrupt The Temperature Record | Real Science

Climategate: The Smoking Code | Watts Up With That?

Now, here is some actual proof that the CRU was deliberately tampering with their data. Unfortunately, for readability’s sake, this code was written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) and is a pain to go through.

NOTE: This is an actual snippet of code from the CRU contained in the source file: briffa_Sep98_d.pro

1;
2; Apply a VERY ARTIFICAL correction for decline!!
3;
4 yrloc=[1400,findgen(19)*5.+1904]
5 valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,-0.1,0.3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75 ; fudge factor
6 if n_elements(yrloc) ne n_elements(valadj) then message,'Oooops!'
7
8 yearlyadj=interpol(valadj,yrloc,timey)

So the fudge factor is adjusting each year by their calendar year starting with 1904, in five year increments. Note that starting in 1930 the function arbitrarily subtracts 0.1 degrees, then in 1936 it removes 0.25, etc. Then in 1955 it begins to ADD temperature adjustments beginning with 0.3, etc.

Is it any wonder we have 'global warming' according to these liars?

Just the name 'fudge factor' at line 5 should be a dead give away.

Very revealing programmer comments found in the hacked emails in the Climategate scandal, and they explain how we have 'Global Warming' no matter what the temperatures may actually be.

And note how they call the temperatures they want to see the 'real' temperatures, when ordinary people might think the MEASURED proxy temperatures would be the 'real' temperatures or else the proxy temps are worthless anyway!

Climategate: hide the decline ? codified | Watts Up With That?

WUWT blogging ally Ecotretas writes in to say that he has made a compendium of programming code segments that show comments by the programmer that suggest places where data may be corrected, modified, adjusted, or busted. Some the HARRY_READ_ME comments are quite revealing. For those that don’t understand computer programming, don’t fret, the comments by the programmer tell the story quite well even if the code itself makes no sense to you....
