Capital Weather Gang - Global warming, extreme events and weird weather

For this reason, the oft-made assertions that "global warming will make the weather more extreme" or that warming "caused" a particular severe weather event to occur, make me cringe.

There are core scientific findings in climate science that most climate researchers, and most science journalists, including myself, no longer consider to be hotly debated, such as the conclusion that most of global warming is very likely due to manmade emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide.

Snow Like 1976 « Musings from the Chiefio

So we have a “90 foot elevation” snow in 2006, just after the cold phase started. Last snow actually IN San Jose at the lower elevation of downtown? 1976. 30 years earlier.

Two takeaway points:

1) This is an absolutely normal event that happens every few decades. It is NOT signs of catastrophe.

2) If we’d had 30 to 60 years of “Global Warming” it would not be happening. We are measuring the impact in tens of feet ( 90 vs Sea Level) and finding not a bit of change toward warmer (meaning higher elevations of snow). Rare events are still reaching the ground, and most of the time it’s about 2000 foot snow line.

There is no “Global Warming” in San Jose… but there is a 60 year weather cycle changing regimes.

New Hampshire smacks down cap and trade

The New Hampshire House of Representatives today voted overwhelmingly - 246 to 104 - for New Hampshire to become the first state to repeal an up-and-running global warming cap-and-trade energy tax system. The state senate is expected to follow suit with a similarly veto-proof repeal. The move has major implications both in the region and nationally.
