The New York Times reported today that the record cold snap in California is definitive proof of global warming.\u00a0 An arctic air mass is plunging across California reducing temperatures in parts of the San Joaquin Valley below 28 degrees.\u00a0 Climatologists warn that this cold spell is the direct result of rapidly melting ice in the arctic.\u00a0 There was so much unprecedented warm air over the arctic ocean that the cold air had to find someplace else to go.\u00a0 It chose California.\u00a0 While there are some misguided and naive people who think that record cold is inconsistent with global warming, real climate experts scoffed at the idea.\u00a0 Just because the weather is getting colder is no proof that it is not getting warmer.<\/p>\n
Several Hollywood celebrities decided to get in their electric vehicles and drive to Alaska in search of warmer weather.\u00a0 Since the ice is rapidly melting up there, many of them brought along surf boards and kayaks to take advantage of the open water and spectacular scenery.\u00a0 There are reports this morning that a large number of them were observed trapped on the Grapevine due to heavy snow.\u00a0 They had to abandon their electric vehicles when the batteries failed due to cold weather.<\/p>\n
The New York Times is also reporting that sometime later this spring, temperatures in California will warm up again, proving that global warming continues to be reality.<\/p>\n
(The funniest thing about this:\u00a0 “article” which I clearly wrote tongue in cheek, is that a lot of people thought this was based on a real New York Time article.\u00a0 In anyone wonders why they need to layoff all those people, look no further.)<\/p>\n
