Deep snow forces Md. dairy farms to dump milk - wtop.com
Middletown-area farmers Jeremy Thompson and Glen Kinna told The Frederick News-Post on Tuesday that they each dumped thousands of pounds of milk because trucks couldn't get through the deep snow to pick it up.

They say cows must be milked twice a day. And once the farmers' tanks are full, they have no choice but to dump the excess.

Thompson also says he lost two cows when part of his barn collapsed under the weight of the snow.

Brushfire Sparks | Houston, We Have a Hoax
Much like the “flat earthers” of earlier times, these “warm earthers” have created results that fit their theories, and refuse to allow any challenges. Unlike real scientists, they choose to avoid the pursuit of the truth because, well, there’s no real money in it. They would lose millions in grants, lose a lot of prestige, and all those invites to really cool parties would just dry up.

So they perpetuate the hoax, sticking to their manufactured facts even as they resign their posts. The recent record levels of snow around the globe are solid evidence of “global warming”. Their position regarding the melting and eventual disappearance of the Himalayan glaciers may have been wrong, but they were right overall. The polar bears are dying off, even as all evidence indicates their populations are expanding. They’ve been wrong over, and over, and over, yet they continue to stick to their story and try to find ways to perpetuate the lies.

Record global snows (check). Record low temperatures (check). Missing (or lost) “data” (check). Evidence of tampering (check). Evidence of obfuscation (check). Evidence of obstruction (check). Continuing to lie in the face of the truth (check). Houston, we have a hoax.

Hoping to defend their fossil-industry funders from having to limit carbon pollution, conservative politicians and pundits are increasingly embracing conspiracy theories that global warming is an ideological hoax — even as the consequences of climate change grow more dire.
