Bitter cold wave drops temps to records lows in upper Midwest on heels of snowstorm

BISMARCK, N.D. - Residents of the upper Midwest bundled up or just stayed inside Tuesday as a wave of bitterly cold air barreled south out of the Arctic, following on the heels of a fast-moving blizzard.

Some schools closed because of the cold and temperatures hit the single digits as far south as Kansas and Missouri.

The coldest air spilled across the Canadian prairie into the Dakotas and Minnesota. Grand Forks, N.D., dropped to a record low of 37 degrees below zero Tuesday morning, lopping six degrees off the old record set in 1979, the National Weather Service said.

And I don't even grant that there is a consensus among scientists; it's just that the press only promotes the global warming alarmists and ignores or minimizes those of us who are skeptical. To many of us, there is no convincing evidence that carbon dioxide produced by humans has any influence on the Earth's climate.

Arguing that our country should decrease its use of fossil fuels is a laudable goal, but the reason to do so should be to reduce our reliance on energy from foreign sources, not to reduce the danger from some imaginary boogeyman.

Green Wacko Tobacco - Chris Horner, HUMAN EVENTS

The bizarre spectacle of scientists dismissing the obvious to push the absurd should indeed seem familiar, smacking as it does of those very same “tobacco scientists” the alarmists shriek about in a collective fit of what the couch-time crowd calls “projection”. Cooling has become the new warming, alarmism the new denial, and it is now quite clear who really resembles the “tobacco scientist” in the global warming game.
