Your Aunt’s Chili Did This

1886 was the most active hurricane season on record in the US, but the storms were across the pond too. Climate experts say that this sort of hurricane activity is impossible without human intervention, because they are complete morons.

Week One Hall Of Shame

Three players stood out this week for their spectacularly poor Champions League play.

Terry takes the #1 spot for running an offsides trap after the pass had already been received, and cost Chelsea the win.

Kompany takes the #2 spot for ducking a header and faking out Hart – costing City a loss.

Dani Alves takes the #3 spot for a brilliant own goal against Barca.

The great CO2 god has blessed us with a record Arctic minimum, but the Koch Brothers test our faith with a record Antarctic maximum.

Do not be led into the temptation of using your own brain. Penn State University has your back covered, as many a young football player found out.

Your Great-Great Grandfather Did This

In 1886, the US was hit by a record seven hurricanes, including two major hurricanes. Your family ate way too many beans that year, and caused the disaster. I consider them to be guilty of climate crimes.

Thomas Jefferson Confused UHI with Global Warming, Until Noah Webster Sorted Him Out

Thomas Jefferson was an ardent believer in global warming, until Noah Webster demonstrated that he was confusing UHI effects with climate.

In his 1787 book, Notes on the State of Virginia, Jefferson launched into a discussion of the climate of both his home state and America as a whole. Near the end of a brief chapter addressing wind currents, rain and temperature, he presented a series of tentative conclusions: “A change in our climate…is taking place very sensibly. Both heats and colds are become much more moderate within the memory of the middle-aged. Snows are less frequent and less deep….The elderly inform me the earth used to be covered with snow about three months in every year. The rivers, which then seldom failed to freeze over in the course of the winter, scarcely ever do so now.” Concerned about the destructive effects of this warming trend, Jefferson noted how “an unfortunate fluctuation between heat and cold” in the spring has been “very fatal to fruits.”

Webster concluded by rejecting the crude warming theory of Jefferson and Williams in favor of a more subtle rendering of the data. The conversion of forests to fields, he acknowledged, has led to some microclimatic changes—namely, more windiness and more variation in winter conditions. But while snow doesn’t stay on the ground as long, that doesn’t necessarily mean the country as a whole gets less snowfall each winter: “We have, in the cultivated districts, deep snow today, and none tomorrow; but the same quantity of snow falling in the woods, lies there till spring….This will explain all the appearances of the seasons without resorting to the unphilosophical hypothesis of a general increase in heat.

Webster’s words essentially ended the controversy. While Jefferson continued to compile and crunch temperature data after his retirement from the presidency, he never again made the case for global warming.

Daily Theology Column

Woe unto the apostates who dare to gaze at the southern ice anomaly. The high priests have warned that only the northern anomaly may be seen by mortals.

All who turn their head to look at the southern anomaly, shall be transformed into a pillar of salt.
