3rd step to save the world.. stop climate fascism | MNN - Mother Nature Network

HRJ 12 claims that all those melting glaciers, the warming seas, and spiking mean global temperatures -- real, measurable, validated climatological occurrences taking place RIGHT NOW all around the world -- are a hoax, or rather... "a well organized and ongoing effort to manipulate global temperature data in order to produce a global warming outcome."

I'm not saying people can't be entitled to their own opinions, however ignorant and fact-denying they may be, but to so blatantly misrepresent scientific facts to political ends INSIDE the confines of a legislative body seems tantamount to a hostile takeover of democracy.

Snow in Washington Has Climate Alarmists Showing Ignorance of Climate Science: Tim Ball

The most common comment I get after a presentation explaining what is wrong with the CO2 global warming theory is “I had my suspicions but didn’t know enough to know.” Illogic of the claims that heavy snow and cold temperatures are due to warming is not lost on people who may not understand climate science. However, they need to understand why they are illogical otherwise they can only harbor a suspicion. This quiet emboldens the alarmists and especially the mainstream media who generally continue to push the fallacies. Exposure of these outrageous claims will eventually silence those who mislead for their own political or economic advantage.

Washington's snowstorms, brought to you by global warming - Bill McKibben - washingtonpost.com

Looked at dispassionately, those political attacks essentially buttress the consensus around global warming. If that much money and attention can be aimed at the data and all anyone can find is a few mistakes and a collection of nasty e-mails, it's a pretty good sign that the science is sound (though not as good a sign as the melting Arctic).

Looked at dispassionately, the round of snowmageddons crisscrossing the mid-Atlantic carries the same message. But it's hard to be dispassionate when you're wondering, six hours of shoveling later, if there's a good chiropractor in the neighborhood and what kind of dogsled you might need to reach her.

It's almost like a test, centered on ground zero for climate-change legislation. Can you sit in a snowstorm and imagine a warming world? If you're a senator, can you come back to work and pass a bill that blunts the pace of climate change? If the answer is no, then we're really in a world of trouble.

[Show us your long underwear]: Parade goers bracing for cold Mardi Gras weekend

"It's freezing out here,” he said. “I've got about five layers on. I'm still cold. It's probably gonna get worse, but, what'cha gonna do?"

"Gloves are a must, hats are a must, waterproof shoes preferably and socks. Once you get wet, it's all over," said Dr. Jullette Saussy, New Orleans EMS director. "This is gonna be one of the coldest Mardi Gras that I remember. I'm sure there are ones that precede this. But it's cold, and in addition to that, it's wet, which makes it seem colder."
