Climate experts say that global warming causes heavy snow in Boston, because they have the combined IQ of a turnip.
As any pre-schooler could tell you, colder winters in Boston have more snow, and warmer winters have less snow.

They are spinning to say that since there are warmer waters off the east coast that this is the reason for so much snow. Than again it was the Mann dude who is saying that, so we know how reputable that information is.
After this latest issue with Lubos, it can’t be long before textbooks say that 5 is considered the most correct sum for 2+2.
No, No it is 6, remember we are now using v3.2
2+2=5? 2+2=6? Where’s the three-decimal-place accuracy?
You’re both right; the answer is what you feel it should be. Everyone has his own answer and all are correct.
(PoMo thinking – no good for engineering or science)
Aww, I thought the alarmist’s correct answer maybe 2+2=22 🙂 (Truly, nothing adds up in climastrology)

How can grownups still believe that stuff? Note that the great majority of comments are of the sceptical variety.
“Climate models predict temperatures could rise by four degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) or more by the end of this century, a level that Kevin Anderson of the UK’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research ……”
Computer crystal balls again.
We also have the astounding fact that warmer places further south average less snow than colder places that are further north. For example Charleston, SC averages less snow than Boston, MA. Even an idiot progressive alarmist should be able to grasp the simple concept that there is an inverse correlation betweenn warmth and snow.
They are grasping at straws. But they know that sheep eat straw, so it still works to influence the uniformed/uneducated.
However even sheep recognize snow when they see it.
More important the Sheeple recognize INCONVENIENCE when it slaps them in the face. Most are also capable of understanding:
Global Warming =/= Snow and freezing your rump off.
Shiiit, I thought a snow fall event was weather. We got very little snow here in Aberdeenshire this year, does that mean we have global cooling here and global warming over there?
I just took a look at the Rutger’s snow lab data (maybe 18 figures) and find that Jan max snow cover in N hemisphere has been absolutely stable since 1967. It’s a hell of a puzzle!

FFS Steve , will you stop badmouthing Turnips. Give them a break.
Anyhow the good news is the mighty Manchester United Reds kick of in half an hour
Snow is not increasing. It’s just becoming fizzier because of all the CO2. It’s like the atmosphere is a giant seltzer bottle, charges up the snow, and it comes down fizzier.
In our local paper, the resident warmunist weatherman writes that the “gulf stream off Cape Cod is 11 degrees warmer than normal”, implying that’s the cause of the record snowfall. Any body know if that’s true? Not much of what he writes is true, so I doubt it.
Couple of teens were going door to door offering snow removal, while school was out, but Boston’s finest shut them down because they didn’t have a permit to solicit. Gotta enforce the laws, ya know.
I wonder who ratted them out?
I really did hate that city. Nastiest bunch of people I have ever met.
The ones that speak English! The immigrants seem to Love it there.
Great welfare bennies
During the blizzard of ’78 in New Jersey, I made $100 just shoveling peoples walkways from their front doors to the street. That was some serious coin back then.
Could you colour code that graph for time? Blue to red, old to recent?
