All I have heard since arriving in south Florida is how cold it has been this winter. It got me thinking about all of the inconvenient truths around us…
Florida Cold: Man dies from cold weather
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Authorities say a recent cold snap in South Florida is to blame in the death of a homeless man in Broward
County.
Ex-Astronaut: Global Warming Is Bunk
Former astronaut Harrison Schmitt, who walked on the moon and once served New Mexico in the U.S. Senate, doesn’t believe that humans are causing global warming.
“I don’t think the human effect is significant compared to the natural effect,” said Schmitt, who is among 70 skeptics scheduled to speak next month at the International Conference on Climate Change in New York.
Schmitt contends that scientists “are being intimidated” if they disagree with the idea that burning fossil fuels has increased carbon dioxide levels, temperatures and sea levels.
“They’ve seen too many of their colleagues lose grant funding when they haven’t gone along with the so-called political consensus that we’re in a human-caused global warming,” Schmitt said.
That last sentence strikes at the heart of what motivates global warming climate change fanatics.
Southern California storm dumps snow even in desert regions
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An unusual storm socked Southern California mountains with up to two feet of snow Sunday, stranding dozens of motorists on impassable highways while turning even some desert communities into winter wonderlands.
Cold snap brings Gulf rare snow
Snow has fallen in the United Arab Emirates for the first time in years, shocking residents of a desert country better known for its 50C summer heat.
First snow for 100 years falls on Baghdad
BAGHDAD (AFP) — Light snow fell in Baghdad early on Friday in what weather officials said was the first time in about a 100 years. Rare snowfalls were also recorded in the west and centre of Iraq, plunging temperatures to zero degrees Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and even colder, an official said.
Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming
Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile — the list goes on and on.
No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.
You don’t say…‘Apocalyptic climate predictions’ mislead the public
Hmmmmm…I wonder what they mean by “apocalyptic”….

Of course, none of this matters to the fanatics. This is why they no longer talk of global warming, but “climate change”. Temperatures go up, it’s because human activity causes global warming. Temperatures go down, it’s because human activity causes global cooling.
Comedian George Carlin once said, “When people say, ‘Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too.’ What good is a cake you can’t eat? What should I eat, someone else’s cake instead?”.
According to Al Gore the answer is obvious, have both cakes.
