Climate-change deniers get comeuppance | Clarence Page
Here’s a note to the global-warming deniers who sarcastically called me a dope during last winter’s back-to-back blizzards on the East Coast: Is it hot enough for you now?Clarence Page: Biography from Answers.com

As I wrote last winter, Inhofe and other snarky climate change deniers were confusing the meaning of “weather” and “climate.” Weather is day-to-day. Climate is long-term. As climatologists say, climate change only shifts the odds in favor of certain extreme weather events like blizzards, floods, hurricanes and heat waves.
Yet when I brought this up during last winter’s “snow-pocalypse,” I was inundated with e-mails that called climate change a “hoax,” a “scam” and a plot by whale-loving commie terrorists who are out to snatch everybody’s guns, Bibles and SUVs.
