Cold Weather turns Lethal in US

POLAR VORTEX CAUSES HUNDREDS OF INJURIES AS PEOPLE MAKING SNIDE REMARKS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE ARE PUNCHED IN FACE

MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—The so-called polar vortex caused hundreds of injuries across the Midwest today, as people who said “so much for global warming” and similar comments were punched in the face.
Authorities in several states said that residents who had made ignorant comments erroneously citing the brutally cold temperatures as proof that climate change did not exist were reporting a sharp increase in injuries to the face and head regions.
In an emergency room in St. Paul, Harland Dorrinson, forty-one, was waiting to be treated for bruising to the facial area after he made a crack about how the below-freezing temperatures meant that climate-change activists were full of ****.
“I’d just finished saying it and boom, out of nowhere someone punched me in the face,” he said. “This polar vortex is really dangerous.”
The meteorology professor Davis Logsdon, of the University of Minnesota, issued a safety warning to residents of the states hammered by the historic low temperatures: “If you are living within the range of the polar vortex and you have something idiotic to say about climate change, do not leave your house.”

^___^ avoid any unnecessary injuries dear hxf people

Great (and funny) article out this morning from Dellers -

Global Warming devastates America

James Delingpole is a moron.

Nurse told me that he simply presented Delingpole with a hypothetical question: if a dear relative was suffering from a fatal disease, would he opt for the “consensus” treatment recommended by doctors, or advice to drink more orange juice offered by a fringe maverick quack? In terms of the science of climate change, that fringe maverick is analogous, of course, to Delingpole’s own position.

Delingpole apparently found the line of questioning too much to handle and was purportedly lost for words. He at one point, according to Nurse, asked for the film crew to stop filming.

We're simply doing what the global warmists (now called climate change advocates) did a few years ago when we had heatwaves which was claim that the heatwaves were due to global warming.

Except that increased heatwaves were just used as indicators to show the overall changes, and that volatile weather conditions of all sorts were stated to be a part of this right from the start - which makes complete sense to anyone who knows how weather works because it's all a system of pressures and fluctuations, so heat waves quite clearly directly affect cooler temperatures to come. It's really very basic science

Essentially it's saying that weather = caused by man.

I'm pretty sure it isn't even debatable that our actions influence global climates, the actual argument is just over how much we're doing to it

So in other words, whenever there is a stronger hurricane/warmer summer etc it's down to global warming but whenever there's the opposite then that too is down to global warming. Essentially it's saying that weather = caused by man.

I love how whenever sceptics link the cold weather to proving/disproving man-made climate change we are shot down, yet you lot are allowed free reign to claim that whatever weather event is happening is down to global warming ... even if you don't provide any evidence for it what-so-ever just as Andrew Neil and others have pointed out in regards to this vortex over the US right now.

Pro-AGW scientists claim the ice is shrinking yet when it's expanding and they get stuck and I point this out, i'm wrong. But when you all say that this cold weather over the US is due to climate change - with no proof what so ever - it's accepted as fact without question. Amazing but unbelievable really.

Firstly - the loss of ice is in the ARCTIC. The people that had to be rescued from the 'expanding' ice was in ANTARCTICA. Two different places. Most of the reports on global warming talk about the melting ice of the arctic, not antartica.

Secondly, many people are talking about how the current weather in the US is linked to global warming:

Also, if you look at rise in global temperature diagrams, the North Pole is heating up way, way more rapidly than the South Pole, hence why the Arctic ice is melting fast, and it's North America having issues at the moment.

in canada its global cooling not global warming

in canada its global cooling not global warming

A quick google search would show that Canada is also warming up, and infact, is warming up much faster than the rest of the world (since it's so far North).

love it when people relate daily weather changes to global warming - a climatic effect. this is some 6th grade logic

I remember when the UEA were caught falsifying evidence on it. Hence why I just ignore discussions on global warming as it seems a grey area. provided we make energy usage more economical and environmentally friendly I couldn't care about irreversible changes to the environment. It's clearly too late now to change anything if it is man-made, and saying we must protect our future generations is ridiculous because it's generally considered normal practice to improve technologies anyway, and that's what the world has been doing for decades.
