We recently have a conversation with a couple of die-hard liberals who are also KoolAid drinking climate change activists. When I casually asked if they knew that Antarctica was having record cold temperatures, they immediately told me I was wrong. Of course, I was relying on an article by the Washington Post, so they could be right in challenging the source:<\/p>\n

The South Pole just had its most severe cold season on record – The Washington Post<\/a><\/p>\n

However, this was so obvious that even CNN noticed:<\/p>\n

Antarctica’s last 6 months were the coldest on record | CNN<\/a><\/p>\n

How do they reconcile this with \u201cglobal warming<\/em><\/strong>\u201d (excuse me \u201cclimate change<\/em><\/strong>\u201d)? The answer is simple. They distinguish between \u201cweather<\/em><\/strong>\u201d and \u201cclimate<\/em><\/strong>\u201d.\u00a0 You can read this nonsense for yourself:<\/p>\n

Weather versus climate<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to understand weather is different from climate. Weather is what happens over shorter periods of time (days to months), such as the seven-day forecast. Climate is what happens over much longer periods of time, such as several years, or even entire generations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOne such example is a cold snap, which can happen due to sudden changes in atmospheric circulation and may not be linked to climate change,\u201d says Tom Slater, Research Fellow at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at the University of Leeds. \u201cTexas is a good example of this; even though parts of it experienced extreme cold weather earlier this year when air from the Arctic was pushed south, looking at the long-term change in temperature tells us that Texas is 1.5 degrees warmer on average now than it was 100 years ago. That\u2019s climate.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One notes that these \u201cclimate activists<\/em><\/strong>\u201d arrogantly pointed out that extreme cold was also the result of climate change. Nothing that happens can possibly be considered evidence of reason for questioning the science, because anything that happens just proves the theory. If this seems like silly circular reasoning, it is because it is silly circular reasoning.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to Buffalo. People in Buffalo are no longer dreaming of a White Christmas. They were actually used to that already. My wife is from North Tonawanda, New York, which is just north of Buffalo. As a result, I made a lot of \u201cChristmas and New Year\u2019s<\/em><\/strong>\u201d visits to the Buffalo area. It was seldom as bad as this year, although 1977 was also pretty exciting. \u00a0Anyone who has been in the Buffalo area during the winter knows that if cold air starts blowing over Lake Erie, the amount of lake effect snow can be astonishing.<\/p>\n

The people in Buffalo will handle this ok. They have been there, done that. Most of them will eventually remember that a really bad experience is often the source of a great story. Traditionally, this only happens after the snow starts to melt.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the best picture I saw was of a \u201cstop global warming\u201d sign, covered in snow. You can see this beauty for yourself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, while people like my friends will continue to drink the KoolAid others will notice that this hasn\u2019t exactly been another predicted warm winter. In addition, if you live in California, and you go outdoors, you may notice something referred to as rain. A lot of rain. Like in enough rain to change the fear of everlasting drought to consideration of things like floods.<\/p>\n

The winter weather in Buffalo, although extreme, is not exactly unprecedented. That has been happening forever, just ask any Indian who had to shovel snow off his tee pee. And the rain in California is not new either. There is a reason the Indians weren\u2019t overly enthusiastic about living in what is now Sacramento. While the dams have made flooding less frequent, every honest scientist knows that California has gotten rain in the past and will get rain in the future that far exceeds the feeble efforts by mortal man to control this.\u00a0 It may not happen this year, it may not happen during our lifetime, but it will happen.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, if you are inclined to purchase an electric vehicle, the government recommends you avoid charging during peak hours, to preserve precious electric power, well check out the pictures of Buffalo. Get the picture? A lot of people can see the obvious.<\/p>\n
