Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in 2008: Global warming has caused unseasonably mild winters in DC area.
Time magazine, today: “D.C. Snowstorm: How Global Warming Makes Blizzards Worse.”
Global warming — it could eventually lead to global cooling!

In the meantime, “AP Story Breaks US Media Wall of Denial on IPCC Mess; Al Gore Still Silent.”
Update: From Tim Blair, “Mann Changes Climate:”
Professor of Warmenology Michael Mann — the “hockey stick” guy — was scheduled to give a talk today about climate change.
But it’s been cancelled due to snow.
Meanwhile, Kathy Shaidle sends a meteorological memo to Media Matters.
Update: As a record level of snow falls on DC, Naked Emperor News looks back at the Beltway left and global warming in preceding years:
Ed Morrissey adds, “I suspect that seeing the sun rise in the east somehow would convince these people of global warming, or at least of the need to seize the means of energy production, which is really the point. Too much snow, too little snow, snow that doesn’t form pretty crystals, and bent snow shovels all would meet the climate models — mainly because the climate models are so unreliable that pretty much any kind of weather can be claimed as evidence.”

How to Predict Anything About Climate Change
John: Northern Hemisphere temperatures have been falling rapidly for 4 months!
Mike: You need to get out more often. It’s Winter.
01/14/10 – WattsUpWithThat by Roy Spencer, PhD.
Spencer [edited]: We are uncertain about what is causing current warming, so researchers may tune their models to produce almost any amount of future global warming. It is difficult to prove them wrong, because there is no certain interpretation of the satellite data. When they assume that there are no natural causes of climate change, they conclude that our climate system is balanced on a knife edge.
AMG: An analogy. You are having dinner at a friend’s home when you suddenly feel warm and uncomfortable. You are happy to find out that your friend’s child has set the thermostat up by 5 degrees. You thought you were sick when you assumed that there was no external cause for your personal warming.
Warming data is uncertain and any cause is uncertain. Climate scientists should not be saying that “the science is settled” in the face of these uncertainties. That is not science, but only alarmist charting and extrapolation. We are not upset by the rapid warming during Summer because we know what causes Summer, and that Winter will follow.
