The Twisted Logic of Climate Change


Last year's winter was severe in many areas of the northern hemisphere. Global warming skeptics used this as anecdotal evidence against the global warming climate change climate disruption crowd. The climate change crowd has re-branded their name in the last year and they are launching a preemptive strike in case this year brings another round of severe winter weather. They are claiming bad winters are caused by global warming. Now you know why the term global warming has been morphed into climate disruption by global warming true believers. Any weather event can be attributed to man-made CO2 emissions.
BERLIN, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Climate change could lead to colder winters in northern regions, according to a study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research on Tuesday.

Vladimir Petoukhov, lead author of the study, said a shrinking of sea ice in the eastern Arctic causes some regional warming of lower air levels and may lead to anomalies in atmospheric airstreams, triggering an overall cooling of the northern continents.

"These anomalies could triple the probability of cold winter extremes in Europe and northern Asia," he said. "Recent severe winters like last year's or the one of 2005/06 do not conflict with the global warming picture but rather supplement it." (accent is mine)

A Contrast of Two Winter White Houses

Here is a video of President Obama's Winter White House. This 7000 square feet of paradise is valued at $8.9 million. It rents for $4,000 a night.



Here is a picture of former President Bush's Western White House in Texas. This modest 4000 square foot property even has geothermal heating to save energy.



Which President is more likely to identify with ordinary Americans?
