Meet the global weirdos. Theyre the ones telling you that all the snow outside is proof that its getting warmer. Only, they dont call it warming anymore. No, that was back in the Earth has a fever days. Back when Al Gore was predicting that the ice caps were melting, the polar bears were drowning and Manhattan would sink beneath 20 feet of water in the near future.
But then something happened. Since 1998, temperatures have been relatively flat. Weve got more polar bears than ever, and Manhattan is buried under snow. For a planet-roasting crisis that threatened the human race with extinction, there doesnt seem to be much actual warming.
So then the mantra became climate change. The liberals formerly known as warmists began predicting that we would experience fundamental changes in our weather. Scientists at the University of East Anglia the Harvard of climate change said snow would be a very rare and exciting event. Children wouldnt know what it was.
As for summers, in the wake of Katrina change-ist groups like realclimate.org predicted global warming will make hurricanes even worse in the future.
What happened? Nothing. Europe has had three winters in a row of snow and cold temperatures. In the Atlantic, there has been a dramatic decrease in the number of hurricanes in the last five years, according to meteorologist Art Horn. The total energy in all hurricanes around the world has plunged since 1993. The opposite of what was predicted.
So the new fall back is global weirding. The site thedailygreen.com has a Weird Weather Watch page. The uber-liberal Huffington Post ran a story in August headlined Global Weirding: Extreme Climate Events Dominate The Summer.
The extreme climate events all across the globe must say something about whether climate change is already upon us, the HuffPo insisted. Extreme is the new normal.
They quote a professor of environmental studies and politics from Oberlin College who says, More hottest hots, driest dries, wettest wets, windiest wind conditions. So its all part of a pattern.
Gore is on board, too. Hes now merely claiming rising temperatures will create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters.
Not warming, but weirding. Not heating, but havoc. Which is how global warming can cause more snow, less snow, no snow, avalanches, heat waves, cold snaps, wetter wets, drier dries, gingivitis, delirium tremens and irritable bowel syndrome . . . all at the same time!
Global warming is there anything it cant do?
Well, the one thing it apparently doesnt do is help predict the weather. The UKs Met Office stopped giving seasonal forecasts last year after mis-predicting warmer winters three years in a row. Meteorologists without a warmist agenda like Piers Corbyn and AccuWeathers Joe Bastardi, on the other hand, continue to pay the bills by making predictions directly contrary to the weirdos. Oddly, they dont have degrees in politics.
For a theory to be scientific, it must be fallible capable of being proven false. If every weather condition can be used to prove global warming simply by being declared weird, then its not science. Its a joke.
Which is exactly what the environmental movement has become.
