It happened, they twisted in the wind of defeat and their reeling heads came up with this jumbled conclusion about the severe UK weather, “despite” it all global warming is happening:
George Monbiot makes a striking argument today that the current snowstorms could be actually be caused by changes to the planet’s weather patterns as a result of global warming. He’s not alone – the Met Office chief scientist Julia Slingo told me the same. But the weather the British Isles gets depends not only on global warming but also many interacting regional factors, and research is currently untangling those.
What is clear is the world as a whole is getting warmer and on a decade-long timescale so is the British winter. The Guardian’s weatherwatch column showed, that despite the third snowiest December since 1900…..
mammoth pass received 5 inches of water per day for 3 days
mammoth mountain, 15ft of snow total.
that’s at the snow plot, it would be higher up on the ridges (the sierra crest). at our ski area it was at least twice as deep on top as at the snow plot, mostly due to higher snow ratios.
OT, sorry

OT,
So much for drought in the Southwest USA:

You do realize of course that while AGW caused the drought in the SW it also caused the major rainfall as well… I mean come on.
here it is again, in case some of you missed it

town of mammoth lakes, 3-6ft of snow

Take out the BBQ!
Was it Chris D or Tony D who said that no proper scientists made these sort of wild predictions?
Come on – own up.
