Conservatives Eerily Quiet About Global Warming Now that It's Really Hot
But alas, sound science and reasonable thinking are strangers to the far right of America.
Anyone who has ever lived in a cold climate knows that they will actually get more snow when it is closer to freezing than zero. A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, and overall planetary warming provides more fuel for storms.
Now, as temps in some places approach the mythical Gates of Hell, the ranters from the past winter are eerily quiet. Remember the bandwagon, screaming about how record blizzards prove scientists and environmentalists wrong? If we are to be so shallow as to conclude one season makes for a complete picture of climate science, than we would also have to say, in no uncertain terms, that global warming is upon us.
Of course, that level of shallow thinking is reserved for those who would wear tea bags rather than find solutions.
What is clear is that June will likely be recorded as the warmest in history. That the prior decade will be shown to be the hottest. That stronger storms will not only mean more snow when blizzards hit in the winter, but a longer and stronger tornado seasons.
Because it has been called "Global Warming," one shouldn't assume that to mean it will be hot all the time. But when it is hot, look out.
Many of the right won't accept climate change until you have to wear waders to go to Disney World and you can take a boat ride around Central Park. And then they will blame progressives, "socialists" and anyone else the can - with the exception of taking responsibility, of course.

Post a CommentI would have to suggest that very little "suspense" remains.
The PhDs are raking in millions in grant monies to keep us all in suspense, creating their own self-perpetuating vacuum of information. So what have YOU done today that's "green"?
I had the misfortune of accidentally tuning into Limbaugh during a drive yesterday and he mentioned that there's no evidence of climate change. Which made me laugh. I don't even get angry at people who deny it anymore. I just laugh. They will be our next round of racist grandpas. (It's okay for me to say that, I had one...haha!)
Dude, show me one actual fact that doesn't point to the climate changing?
Nice how every fluctuation can fit your global warming model. Too breezy? Global warming! Hot? Global warming! Cold? Global warming? Rainy? Global warming! I think ya get my point, right Jeff? Why is it any tiny fact proves your contention and any fact that proves mine are outright lies or misinterpretations? Hardly sounds forthright, fair, or accurate, but it damn sure is self-serving.
The question, Tony is this - sure, climate cycles have always happened. But do we want to cause them? And/or make them worse?
Even summer in England, until the last 2 days at least when we got some rain, have been hotter than normal. The weather patterns are changing all over the world, and there is little that we can do to change it. We can try and be green, but we won't stop the cycle - it's happened before. Best we can do is to be prepared for if/when it does get worse.
The weather trends are getting wacky. Many days in the 90s here this month and all those blizzards last winter. Global warming is scary.
Very helpful to remind people of the difference between climate and weather.
Great info. And good wayto diffuse an arguement.
