NYT: “Bundle Up, It's Global Warming”: "This Investors Business Daily Headline speaks volumes: The Abiding Faith Of Warm-ongers. Faith being the key word.

Prognosticators who wrote the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, global warming report in 2007 predicted an inevitable, century-long rise in global temperatures of two degrees or more. Only higher temperatures were foreseen. Moderate or even lower temperatures, as we're experiencing now, weren't even listed as a possibility.

In fact since the 90s, every single IPCC 'model' (they aren't really models - they're scenarios) have been proven to be no better than what comes out of your butt after spicy food that you're not used to. See here:

In science, every theory is supposed to be judged by it's predictive capability versus actual reality. Not in the case of global warming where instead of proving the model is right or wrong, the experimental reality is being fudged. For the alarmist, anything that seems out of the norm (whatever that means) is due to global warming. If it doesn't snow enough, it's obviously global warming. If it snows too much? Well, that's global warming too. Never mind that no IPCC model predicts any such thing. Which brings us to the New York Times. From Don Surber via memeorandum:

Manhattan seems to be filled with foolish people who bitterly cling to their pagan religion.

From the New York Times: “Bundle Up, It’s Global Warming.” ...

As global temperatures have warmed and as Arctic sea ice has melted over the past two and a half decades, more moisture has become available to fall as snow over the continents. So the snow cover across Siberia in the fall has steadily increased.

The sun’s energy reflects off the bright white snow and escapes back out to space. As a result, the temperature cools. When snow cover is more abundant in Siberia, it creates an unusually large dome of cold air next to the mountains, and this amplifies the standing waves in the atmosphere, just as a bigger rock in a stream increases the size of the waves of water flowing by.

The increased wave energy in the air spreads both horizontally, around the Northern Hemisphere, and vertically, up into the stratosphere and down toward the earth’s surface. In response, the jet stream, instead of flowing predominantly west to east as usual, meanders more north and south. In winter, this change in flow sends warm air north from the subtropical oceans into Alaska and Greenland, but it also pushes cold air south from the Arctic on the east side of the Rockies. Meanwhile, across Eurasia, cold air from Siberia spills south into East Asia and even southwestward into Europe.

It is like the tailors explaining to the emperor that only the foolish cannot see the fine garment they made for him to wear.

But if global warming makes it cold in the winter, then what is the problem?

So according to the New York Times, this is all the fault of global warming:

The problem is that the warm-mongers will still try to push through cap-and-trade to solve a problem that doesn't exist but that will impose an increased burden of socialism on this country. More from Maggie's Farm, Doug Ross and The Other McCain
