Does early snow disprove global warming? | Grist

For one thing, it’s not snowing all that early for these places. For another, as we constantly note, isolated weather extremes are different from the long-term trend. And, third, some scientists are expecting a bad winter — thanks in part to global warming.
...
The kicker: It’s possible that global warming actually will make this winter colder.

World Climate Report » A Classic Tale of Global Warming Alarmism

In his New York Times “Green” blog article “Running the Numbers on Antarctic Sea Ice” Times reporter Justin Gillis generates a new index of sea ice melt that hypes the loss of Arctic sea ice relative to the gains in Antarctic sea ice. As you’ll see below, perhaps a more appropriate title would have been “Torturing the Data on Antarctic Sea Ice.”

The purpose of Gillis’ article is to downplay the observations which show that the sea ice around Antarctica has recently set a record for its all-time maximum extent (since satellite observations began in 1979).

Lack Of Arctic Ice Produces Record Snow | Real Science

Last year, the lack of Arctic ice caused a warm winter in the eastern US, but this year it causes record cold and snow.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper suggests the Amazon has become wetter over past 100 years

A new paper suggests, contrary to claims of global warming alarmists that the Amazon will dry up, that the Amazon has become wetter over the past 100 years of slight global warming [0.7C]. The study finds an "intensification of the hydrological cycle" in the Amazon, which indicates an increase in precipitation. The authors note, "Climate models vary widely in their predictions for the Amazon, and we still do not know whether the Amazon will become wetter or dryer in a warmer world."
