1. And this is what happens when we **** up the climate.

Because of the decrease in temperature extremes between the Poles and the Equator, the jet streams develop deep slow moving troughs that channels this extremely cold temperatures south.

But facts won't stop the idiot brigade of climate change deniers from spouting their bullshit.
 

What about all those Ice Ages in the past? Was that man-made Global Warming too?

11. For some time now, I have felt . . .

That the term "climate change" is more accurate than "global warming." From what I understand, meteorologists seem to be expecting wild swings in weather patterns rather than just rising temps. That certainly seems to be happening here.


It's funny when they parrot memes and pretend it's their own ideas.

First of all climate change deniers is not accurate, I don't know anyone who denies that climates change on this planet, we just don't buy the bullshit that we are causing it and the way to fix it is to tax everyone to death.

Secondly the global warming crowd moves the goalposts constantly, if facts don't fit your models you simply change terminology. If the temperature is too hot, it's global warming, too cold it's global climate change, average temperatures are also proof of global warming or climate change.

The reality is the earf is not a stable environment and never has been one. It changes constantly and no amount of taxation will end it. All one has to do is compare the predictions to what actually happens and the predictions never match.

I used to work in a local ice cream plant's freezer, and I can say 'yes.'  There was a noticeable difference between the 'hardening room' where the just-made ice cream had to freeze up, and the rest of the freezer.  It was anywhere from 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit colder in the hardening room.

We could easily tell.

No he's not. I'm outside with just a long sleeve shirt (ya, pants. too.) messing with the laptop and having a cold beer.
We might get a freeze this coming Thursday.

20 years ago,about this time in Jan we slid into a cold snap where it only got above 0 maybe 2 days until Valentines.
It was snowing one day at 12:45 in the afternoon and a thermometer at a bank was showing -5.

Towards the end I remember one morning walking outside and it was -20 and I honestly thought to myself "whew,that is not too bad".

Maybe I'm crazy, but I really don't mind the cold. You bundle up when you have to go outside, and the rest of the time you sit in your flannel jammies under a fleece throw, while drinking hot cocoa and watching the playoffs.

Wait, what?  The coalshovel is saying that the temperature isn't that different between the the north and south poles and the equator.  But he is saying that lack of temperature difference is what is causing the extreme cold snap.  How can there be extreme temperatures if there is a lack of extreme difference between our normal temps and this bitter cold?

So far for us, the forcast has changed 4 times in the last 24 hours, and it STILL isn't as cold as they've predicted.

You understand nothing.

Climate Change is the natural state of the planet earth. Global Warming(TM) is supposed to be man made because we drive and exhale but it is utter nonsense.

Most authentic climate scientists do not believe in Global Warming(TM).

Most left-wing Marxist DUmmies do believe.

In fact, if you go back and read Marx's ghost written works, climate panic is part of it way back when.

As Freeper said, we aren't deniers.  In fact we point out the climate has changed many times in earth's history.



So Basically the estimation of people on earth about 600 AD, time before the last Warm period is 300 Million.  Did those 300 Million people cause it?  What about the Little Ice age?  There was almost twice as many people on earth by that time?  Did they cause that?  Which is... do we cause the temp to rise or fall?  OR MAYBE IT JUST HAPPENS?
