SOME LIKE IT COLD

Democrats and their liberal supporters love hot weather. That allows them to crow self-righteously about global warming. They say climate change, but they always mean global warming. They don’t say global warming anymore because that is too easy to disprove. They say climate change, which is perfect because anything that happens proves their point. Except they always warn about things getting hot. They are consistently inconsistent.

Some of you may be wondering why Texas is being blasted with a winter storm and record cold temperatures, when the earth is heating up. Never let logic get between a liberal and climate change. So, they already figured how to blame these freezing temperatures on global warming (climate change). Specifically, warmer weather in the Artic is resulting in extremely cold weather in Texas. In case you think I am making this up, here is the article:

Heating Arctic may be to blame for snowstorms in Texas, scientists argue | Climate change | The Guardian

My favorite part of this article is the following paragraph:

This week, a blast of winter weather has reached deep into the heart of the US, causing several deaths and knocking out power for about 5 million people. Sleet and ice have battered Oklahoma and Arkansas, while many people in Texas have been left marooned, amid unsafe travel conditions, in homes with no electricity.

“The current conditions in Texas are historical, certainly generational,” said Judah Cohen, the director of seasonal forecasting at Atmospheric and Environmental Research. “But this can’t be hand-waved away as if it’s entirely natural. This is happening not in spite of climate change, it’s in part due to climate change.”

Of course, what is obviously true cannot be obviously true so one must hypothesize to prevent people from relying on their lying eyes. Most of us would assume that record cold is kind of contradictory to global warming. In this case the scientists admit that the Arctic is warming at a rate more than twice the global average, and that is disrupting long-established climatic systems. In other words, global warming is not actually global. This type of logic is required when the data is inconveniently inconsistent with the theory. Anything that hints the theory may have flaws is unacceptable, so the data must be altered to conform with the theory.

There is no consensus among scientists over the interaction between Arctic heat and cold weather further south – Francis calls the topic an “active area of research”. Global heating is causing warmer winters, and record cold temperatures are now being clearly outpaced by record hot temperatures, but the complex interplay of climatic conditions still requires further scrutiny, to the consternation of some and even mockery among others, including former US presidents. As a last resort, always blame Donald Trump.

Here is my prediction for 2021. Some places will be hotter than expected. Some places will be colder than expected. There will be hurricanes, tornados, and other storms. They will happen, but we don’t know where. We can’t predict any of this. But regardless of what happens, it will be because of climate change. And one thing is certain, Donald Trump is to blame because he isn’t standing up and saluting the non-existent science. If you do not understand that you are probably huddled together in a basket of freezing deplorables.

Oh, by the way, just because prior to the storm wind was supplying 42% of the power in Texas and after the storm wind was supplying only 8% of the power is no reason to think wind energy had any part of the problem. Otherwise, one might think that the Green New Deal needs rethinking, and we know that those who do not think in the first place are incapable of rethinking.
