This Is Why Global Warming Is Responsible For Freezing Temperatures Across The U.S.

Linking a dozen AWG nonsense articles is doing exactly what I said you are doing, regurgitating Al Gore nonsense. All you do is regurgitate, you can’t write anything on your own.
Calling Yale, NASA, Columbia, etc, etc, and their data "Al gore nonsense" is as STUPID and vacuous as everyone knows you are.
The days of calling real facts 'Fake News' are over.
Unless you care to try refuting you 12 IQ Clown.
You know ZERO about the topic.
You know zero about Science.

Note all AGW deniers are political posters who do Not post in Sci.

3 million years of global cooling data gets thrown out the window for a computer model projection that is biased.
 
Texas is 0.01ºC warmer these past few days than it would have been last year under the same meteorological conditions ... on average ...

But let's talk about our great-great-great-great-grandchildren ... 100 years from now ... then it will be a full 2ºC warmer under the same meteorological conditions ... instead of -15ºC killing people, it will be -13ºC killing people ... tragic, isn't it ...

Forecast is for +15 to +20ºC early next week ...
 
lol

We know of these people who are grossly overweight who go around saying that the reason they are gorging themselves with food is to ward off the effects of a flesh eating virus.

Same with the climate crusaders who have now been saying for a decade that bitter temperatures clearly a sign of global warming getting worse. Very few people think that. Even those who might have been persuaded to latch on to such st00pidness wont admit to it because nobody is enamored with being perceived as a k00k.

And heres the thing that train wrecks the climate hysterics argument even if cold temperatures related to global warming were scientifically provable.......China doesnt give a rats ass. So.........end of discussion. They continue to build coal plants like the way kids buy apps........

The enlightened recognize that a GND plan effectively herds the sheep as part of the NWO which ensures geometric progression of trickle-up poverty. :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

"God created nature and so it would be impossible for mere humans to do anything to disrupt it. If you believe in God then intellectually you can’t believe in manmade global warming." - George Bush

It should take about thirty seconds to realize that an exactly parallel argument could be made about nuclear war. If God created humanity, surely He wouldn’t let us destroy ourselves in an atomic exchange. One wonders why Bush’s idol Ronald Reagan was so intent on creating a missile defense shield.

""The country is freezing in an unprecedented fashion, and global warming is to blame. Sound crazy?
The cold snap that North America is experiencing east of the rocky mountains, with temperatures at Arctic-like levels, is real, but it's only part of the story.
Simultaneously, there are record Warm temperatures happening in other parts of the world, from Australia to the actual Arctic.

While a small but vocal minority of people might use the faulty logic of, "it's cold where I am, therefore global warming isn't real," even schoolchildren know that weather isn't climate
.
But these extreme cold snaps have gotten more severe in recent years, due to a combination of global warming and a phenomenon you've likely heard of: the polar vortex.
Here's the science of how it works, and why global warming is paradoxically playing a major role in today's record-low temperatures.


The difference between a strong, stable polar vortex (L) and a weak, unstable one that can cause... [+] cold snaps and extremely cold weather across the mid-latitudes (R), such as the event we're experiencing now.'re experiencing now.

This [Forbes] is in every establishment and moronic Leftist rag

Gotta keep the agw cult members scared
No, you're a Moron/12 IQ idiot.

Wiki: Steve Forbes (famous GOP conservative)
Political career and views
Early political career
In 1985, President Ronald Reagan appointed Forbes as head of the Board of International Broadcasting (BIB), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.​
Forbes helped craft Christine Todd Whitman's[11] plan for a 30% cut in New Jersey's income tax over three years, and this plan proved to be a major factor in her victory over incumbent Governor James Florio.[12][13]
Campaigns for president
Forbes entered the Republican primaries for President of the United States in 1996 and 2000, primarily running on a campaign to establish a flat income tax. Forbes also supported the ideas of re-introducing 4.5% mortgages and term limits in 1996; however, dropped both in 2000 (as they were minor planks in his overall platform).​
When Forbes ran for president in 1996 and 2000, he sold some of his Forbes, Inc. voting shares to other family members to help finance his run. Forbes did not come close to securing the Republican nomination, despite winning the Arizona and Delaware primaries in 1996, and getting some significant shares of the vote in other primaries. Forbes's "awkward" campaigning style was considered to be a major factor in his defeat.[14] Time Magazine called his stumping a "comedy-club impression of what would happen if some mad scientist decided to construct a dork robot."[14] For his 2000 presidential campaign, he raised $86,000,000 in campaign contributions, of which $37,000,000 were self-donated.[15]
After dropping out early in the 2000 primary season, Forbes returned to heading the magazine and company. During the 1996 campaign, insiders at Fortune alleged that stories about Forbes's advertisers became favorably biased toward them.[16]
Major issues Forbes has supported include free trade, health savings accounts, and allowing people to opt out 75% of Social Security payroll taxes into personal retirement accounts (PRAs). Forbes supports traditional Republican Party policies such as downsizing government agencies to balance the budget, tough crime laws and support for the death penalty, and school vouchers. Forbes opposes gun control and most government regulation of the environment, as well as drug legalization and same-sex marriage,[17] in spite of his father being gay.[18] In terms of foreign policy, he called for a "US not UN foreign policy" (which is composed of anti-International Monetary Fund sentiments, pro-Israeli sentiment, opposition to Most Favored Nation status for the People's Republic of China, and anti-UN sentiment.)​
Forbes's flat tax plan has changed slightly. In 1996, Forbes supported a flat tax of 17% on all personal and corporate earned income (unearned income such as capital gains, pensions, inheritance, and savings would be exempt.) However, Forbes supported keeping the first $33,000 of income exempt. In 2000, Forbes maintained the same plan; however, instead of each person receiving an exemption of $33,000, it more closely resembled the Armey Plan (Forbes's version called for a $13,000 per adult and $5,000 per dependent deduction). Forbes is very wealthy, with a net worth in 1996 of $430 million.[2] In response to this criticism, Forbes promised in his 2000 campaign to exempt himself from the benefits of the flat tax, although he did support the repeal of the 16th Amendment in a debate with Alan Keyes the previous year.​
In his 2000 campaign, Forbes professed his support for social conservatism along with his supply-side economics. Despite holding opposite positions in 1996, for the 2000 campaign, Forbes announced he was adamantly opposed to abortion and supported prayer in public schools. The previous year Forbes had issued a statement saying he would no longer donate money to Princeton University due to its hiring of philosopher Peter Singer, who views personhood as being limited to 'sentient' beings and therefore considers some disabled people and all infants to lack this status. Steve Forbes was one of the signers of the Statement of Principles of Project for the New American Century (PNAC) on June 3, 1997.​
Other political activities
In 1996, Forbes campaigned on behalf of Ron Paul in the congressional election for Texas's 14th congressional district.[19]
In December 2006, Forbes joined the Board of Directors of the advocacy organization FreedomWorks. Forbes is also on the board of directors of the National Taxpayers Union. Forbes is also a member of the board of trustees of The Heritage Foundation, an influential Washington, D.C.-based public policy research institute.[20] Forbes is a frequent panelist on the television program Forbes on Fox, which also features members of the Forbes magazine staff, and is shown Saturday mornings on Fox News Channel at 11:00 am EST.​
On March 28, 2007, Forbes joined Rudy Giuliani's campaign for the 2008 Presidential election, serving as a National Co-Chair and Senior Policy Advisor. Later in the 2008 presidential campaign, Forbes served as John McCain's Economic Adviser on Taxes, Energy and the Budget during McCain's bid for the 2008 Presidential election.[21]
In March 2013, Forbes participated in a NPR broadcast Intelligence Squared debate with James Grant, Frederic Mishkin and John R. Taylor Jr. concerning the motion "Does America Need A Strong Dollar Policy?".[22]
In July 2018, Forbes received the First Class Order of Merit from Liberland, a free-market micronation project on the Danube River in Europe for his lifetime contributions to the ideas of liberty.[23]
