About a month ago, the eastern seaboard had record high temperatures
for Dec. It was so warm that people in New York were strolling through
the parks comfortably and the cherry trees in Washington DC started to
bloom. Naturally the mainstream media everywhere was telling us all how
this was evidence that global warming is happening, right now, faster
than expected.
Nevermind the fact that at the same time, California went in to a deep
freeze. The cold destroyed a good chunk of orange crop out there. It
snowed in LA. As the cold front moved east, it dropped snow across
Arizona and New Mexico. The media explanation? You can't predict the
weather.
So today I'm reading that the eastern seaboard is under record COLD. I
can't help but wonder what this means to the theory of Global Warming.
If a week of record highs in the winter proves Global Warming is real,
then surely record lows would disprove the theory.
No I'm afraid not. There are too many scientists living on grants for
them to drop their pet theory so easily. But isn't it interesting to
note how one headline is greeted over the other?
