"Worked With Alaskans"

“While most of the Senate is closed due to weather here on a Thursday afternoon, I've held a hearing on the Arctic, worked with Alaskans who are in town, and am having a very productive day.”

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska)

"The Storm of the Century's a Bust"

The Storm of the Century's a bust
She hardly managed a gust
The City was shuttered
The People were fluttered
The unmanly Governor cussed.

"The Science is Not Valid"

"The ocean is not rising significantly. The polar ice is increasing, not melting away. Polar Bears are increasing in number. Heat waves have actually diminished, not increased. There is not an uptick in the number or strength of storms (in fact storms are diminishing). I have studied this topic seriously for years. It has become a political and environment agenda item, but the science is not valid."

John Coleman, Weather Channel founder

"What We Get"

"Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get."

Mark Twain

"Two Weather Geeks"

“This is ridiculous. This should be two weather geeks arguing over a chess game with a cup of tea or whatever you want to drink. The whole thing is blown out, it’s one of the weirdest arguments I’ve ever been involved with, because in the end, there is nothing new under the sun, and nature, not man, rules the climate system.”

Joe Bastardi, Weatherbell Analytics

What Will They Think of Next?

Philly struggling with "global warming"

Global warming alarmists have had some poor backdrops for their pitch lately. Like the scientists who went to the Antarctic to measure how much ice has melted due to warming¹ only to get caught in the ice forming down there. Or the 2008 Climate Change Bill being debated in Parliament with the first October snow falling in London since 1922.

The snowy ice cube Mother Nature has been turning the United States into lately makes an even less auspicious stage from which to raise the climate alarm. 

PRO TIP #1: "Global Warming" became "Climate Change" when the data weren't cooperating with the theory.

The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) skipped all mention of the first round of winter weather in 2013. Unable to escape facing their "inconvenient truth" with the second wave of record cold and snow, they tossed off a dismissive "The cold weather has returned."²

First alarmists switched their umbrella term from Global Warming to Climate Change, then they claimed that global cooling is actually due to warming. Then they blamed something called the polar vortex. What next?³

PRO TIP #2: It's "weather" when it doesn't support the theory, "climate" when it does.

The lack of major storms in the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season forced explanations that fit their theory. What of the sharply declining solar activity in 2013 and what that might mean for future climate here on Earth?⁴

Maybe the climate alarmists are huddling to get their spin right this time before they come out with another duesy. If they're not careful, Global Warming could join the trash heap of unsupportable theories like Peak Oil.

You can bet they're not meeting at Al Gore's $9 million Malibu beach house. 

PRO TIP #3: Using your political fame as U.S. vice president to make $100+ million off a gullible world is not a good look.

1. their actual mission was not mentioned by mainstream media.
2. the Weather.com headline states "Hurricane Season 2013: Least Active Since the 1990s", the lede to the related article "The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season was the least active season so far this century, and among the quietest on record since 1950."
3. they seem to have moved to "extreme weather" since this was written.
4. some think we might be headed into a mini Ice Age as the last one in the late 1600s was preceded by this sort of decline in solar activity.
