Extreme weather is the new norm:
“Around the world, extreme has become the new commonplace.
Especially lately. China is enduring its coldest winter in nearly 30 years. Brazil is in the grip of a dreadful heat spell. Eastern Russia is so freezing — minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and counting — that the traffic lights recently stopped working in the city of Yakutsk.”
The Nobel Prize Winner makes ice cubes in his oven. If he needs ice cubes really fast, he makes them in his microwave oven.
Did the traffic lights melt?
Does Al Gore understand what he writes? I guess, not!
“China is enduring its coldest winter in nearly 30 years”, means that nearly 30 years ago it was similar or worse.
Most reported weather extremes are in relation to some time before, but within the time frame humans have recorded extremes.
One thing is clear, if the time between a recent event and the previous event is very long, the argument that it is caused by AGW is false. It basically means that N years back with less CO2 and lower temperature that same event was possible.
The following logic is what is used by AGW believer like journalists, politicians, scientist …
CO2 (today) AND temperature (today) = weather extreme = CO2 (past) AND temperature (past)
“Does Al Gore understand what he writes?”
That was my immediate thought, too; he’s a complete and utter retard.
Yes, and all the extreme weather is the fault of white, heteronormative Republican males and the evil capitalist system! (sarc)
It’s hot in Brazil and cold in Russia. What a distrurbing departure from the norm.
You ever watch Gunsmoke? Al Gore reminds me of the snake oil salesman that has medicine to cure everybody’s ill’s.
As much as I used to blame the people that voted for Bush, when you look at the options, what other choice did people have?
This past weekend Arkansas got snow in May for the 1st time since 1819. In Arkansas it’s cold and rainy during winter, generally, and hot and dry during the summer, generally. Every year the weather people cry about our “record setting temperatures”, even though it’s usually not any hotter 1 summer than any other given summer. Last year was unusually dry, this year it’s been unusually wet, and the 2nd coldest spring in recorded history, next only to spring of 1975. Coincidently, during the 70s the Al Gores of the time were warning against an ice age that would wipe out hundreds of millions of people. (See earth day predictions in 1970)
Gator69 I dont know for sure, but Im guessing the electricity got so hot from the extreme cold, it all just evaporated. Thanks global warming.
