Manhattan seems to be filled with foolish people who bitterly cling to their pagan religion. From the New York Times: “Bundle Up, It’s Global Warming.” The headline is attached to a bizarre article by Judah Cohen. Since he is the director of seasonal forecasting at an atmospheric and environmental research firm, I guess he has to come up with some plausible explanation for why the global warming doomsday has been proved wrong. From Judah Cohen: -- As global temperatures have warmed and as Arctic sea ice has melted over the past two and a half decades, more moisture has become available to fall as snow over the continents. So the snow cover across Siberia in the fall has steadily increased. The sun’s energy reflects off the bright white snow and escapes back out to space. As a result, the temperature cools. When snow cover is more abundant in Siberia, it creates an unusually large dome of cold air next to the mountains, and this amplifies the standing waves in the atmosphere, just as a bigger rock in a stream increases the size of the waves of water flowing by. The increased wave energy in the air spreads both horizontally, around the Northern Hemisphere, and vertically, up into the stratosphere and down toward the earth’s surface. In response, the jet stream, instead of flowing predominantly west to east as usual, meanders more north and south. In winter, this change in flow sends warm air north from the subtropical oceans into Alaska and Greenland, but it also pushes cold air south from the Arctic on the east side of the Rockies. Meanwhile, across Eurasia, cold air from Siberia spills south into East Asia and even southwestward into Europe. It is like the tailors explaining to the emperor that only the foolish cannot see the fine garment they made for him to wear. -- But if global warming makes it cold in the winter, then what is the problem? I worked for a while on a dairy farm. My job was to push the brown stuff outside. Hey Cohen isn’t a weather expert; he’s a dairy farm worker. Blizzards across the northern hemisphere and a white Christmas in Australia do not disprove global warming. The lies from the researchers, as disclosed in Climategate, already did that.

And round and round we go. Record Electricity Usage in Argentina for last week with record heat. Drought continues in the Southern Plains.
Record Electricity Usage in Argentina for last week with record heat. Drought continues in the Southern Plains. And the arctic is still much warmer than usual. Here's the North American anomaly map for December (so far): And arctic sea ice trends: And Arctic sea ice extent:
yep. And note the Deniers don't believe the Arctic is going ice free. Once here, there's no more reason for discussion. But again, nothing will be done. As the KleptocraticCorporateState moves to Heat Death. ;} The Sixth Extinction is now in the Anthropocene Phase. The Hottest Decade ever awaits. ;}
I'm not sure what the deniers believe, Eric posted a chart the other day showing that ice volumes in the arctic are declining.

8D It's a phenom I've noted across the ideological spectrum: A Blind Spot for either: 12122000, 9-11, Climate Weirding, PeakOil, Pop Explosion, 6th Extinction, CorporatePlutarchy. And most are vicious about defending their blind spot. ;}
