According to the U.S. National Climate Data Center 2008 temperatures in the USA were below the 115 year average for most of the country. U.S. 2009 summer temperatures were also very cool, the 34th coolest since 1895.

More snow means more moisture, which any person who skis alpine can tell you that it means warmer weather, not colder weather. When it's really cold, it dosn't snow as much or at all, becuause there isn't as much moisture in the air. It's moisture in the air that causes lake effect snow in places that are south to colder regions that don't get as much. Montreal and Toronto have had little snow this year, but that's because it's been mild. When it's very cold, there is also less snow. The Jet Stream has been very far south this season, bringing arctic air further south to areas in the USA, areas that usually enjoy a warm front from the south to moderate their weather. As a result, warm moist air and cold arctic air have caused a great deal of snowfall. While there hasn't been massive snowfalls in areas that normally get it. It's affected the UK as well. The very fact that there has been a lot of snowfall in areas that normally don't receive it has to do with abnormal weather patterns. It's not a refutation of global warming theory. If some knob comes out of his shotgun shack where the weather this time of year normally doesn't have snow, and declares the snow he sees as a refutation of global warming? Well, they need to understand how things work better and stop believing the spin. I hear that the "Gomers" really liked Senator Inhofe's "Al Gore Igloo". That's their problem. Alas, they're just too dumb to know.

So I guess if it's cooler in the USA in 2009, it must be cooler all over the world and prove that global warming is just a big hoax. Especially since climate change is measured over decades, not a decade or even a year. Makes sense. Not! |
