The Great Global Warming Swindle

Cold Water On 'Global Warming' by Thomas Sowell
It has almost become something of a joke when some "global warming" conference has to be cancelled because of a snowstorm or bitterly cold weather. Nobody denies that there is such a thing as a greenhouse effect. If there were not, the side of the planet facing away from the sun would be freezing every night.

By Keith Smith CBS 2 News While the Coachella Valley saw rain and occasional snow flurries, a freakish winter storm left a blanket of snow in Banning and Beaumont. It made everyday excursions a chore and slowed down drivers during a dangerous morning commute.

The London Daily express recalls the photograph of polar bears clinging on to a melting iceberg which has been widely hailed as proof of the need to fight climate change and has been used by former Vice President Al Gore during his "Inconvenient Truth" lectures about mankind’s alleged impact on the global climate.

Gore fails to mention that the photograph was taken in the month of August when melting is normal. Or that the polar bear population has soared in recent years.

As the Express notes, scientists are saying the northern Hemisphere has endured its coldest winter in decades, adding that snow cover across the area is at its greatest since 1966. The newspaper cites the one exception — Western Europe, which had, until the weekend when temperatures plunged to as low as -10 C in some places, been basking in unseasonably warm weather.

Around the world, vast areas have been buried under some of the heaviest snowfalls in decades. Central and southern China, the United States, and Canada were hit hard by snowstorms. In China, snowfall was so heavy that over 100,000 houses collapsed under the weight of snow.

Jerusalem, Damascus, Amman, and northern Saudi Arabia report the heaviest falls in years and below-zero temperatures. In Afghanistan, snow and freezing weather killed 120 people. Even Baghdad had a snowstorm, the first in the memory of most residents.

If global warming gets any worse we'll all freeze to death.

Global Warming At It Again

Blue skies turned gray in the blink of an eye yesterday afternoon, bringing another upstate snowstorm to a battered area more than ready to cry uncle.

"This is bad," said Dave DeGrau, 67, who has operated an auto-repair shop on Main Street in Parish for 45 years. "We had a very easy winter until now.

"Last fall, during hunting season, it rained every time I went out. I kept saying, 'I'm glad this isn't snow.' Now, it's snow."

Bands of squalls have swung up and down the eastern shore of Lake Ontario, since Feb. 3, prompting Gov. Spitzer to declare a disaster emergency in Oswego County.

The National Weather Service said Parish, about 25 miles northeast of Syracuse, reached a milestone yesterday morning - 100 inches of snow in seven days.
