Weather girls (or meteorologists who are there to give the viewer the impression that he’s talking about something serious) invent catchy names to draw attention to their stories.
That’s why we have a “Storm of the Century” every month!
We could go back to the famous blizzard of 1888 that dumped 50 inches of snow on New York city. Three days of snowfall and the primary reason for rushing into the subway system and underground telephone and electricity cables. The pictures are fascinating.
Algore says all the snow is due to global warming, so that has to be the truth. Algore never makes a mistake, Well, there was the one about ethenol being the way of the future. And him buying a house in the area that will be underwater due to the polar icecap melting.
I live in the DEEP south, and we RARELY have snow–except we’ve had substantial storms two years in a row, and we’re about to hit our third storm this year. Nah, nothing unusual ‘bout that …
And the Atlanta area has had between six and twelve inches of snow this season, three to six times the normal average. But no, that’s all normal!
Global warming means more energy in the atmosphere, more moisture in the air (to become snow), and more dynamic (i.e., extreme and unpredictable) weather.
The “deniers” ARE the snow job- all them sheep lost in the snow following Rush/Beck/BP/ExxonMobil/ and well most of the “energy” industry based on hydrocarbon profits. Now that they’re also getting a strong hand in controlling alternate energy, notice how “green” the oil companies are getting?? The cartel running the show on prices is NOT - OPEC- it’s right here at home.
Yes, lungdoc, I do. And the fact that we are not in an ice age is actually one of the more compelling indicators that something else is in the equation: anthropogenic global warming, in fact. Because by orbit position and so forth, we should be in a cooling trend. We aren’t.
We live in what is known as a “hydraulic economy”, where one group of people have a monopoly on some resource that everyone else needs. In this case the resource is petroleum, and the people in control of it are the oil companies. Whatever they want, they get.

“No, human, price of oil is the fault of environmentalists.”
No, the price of oil is the fault of the oil companies. They are the ones who set the prices for their products.

That’s rushing into the BUILDING of the subway system and the digging of the tunnels for telephone and electricity cables. Sorry.

Yea global warming. Twist the data to fit your theory. Does anybody remember the stories of global cooling in the 70s?
