Historic Heat In North America Turns Winter To Summer
An anonymous reader writes "A huge, lingering ridge of high pressure over the eastern half of the United States brought summer-like temperatures to North America in March 2012. The warm weather shattered records across the central and eastern United States and much of Canada. From the article: 'Records are not only being broken across the country, they're being broken in unusual ways. Chicago, for example, saw temperatures above 26.6Celsius (80Fahrenheit) every day between March 14-18, breaking records on all five days. For context, the National Weather Service noted that Chicago typically averages only one day in the eighties each in April. And only once in 140 years of weather observations has April produced as many 80Fahrenheit days as this March.'"
It's the deniers who, every goddamned winter, come out of the woodwork with their childlike taunts: "If the Earth's getting warmer, then why is it currently cold outside!?"
And the warmists, who every time a cyclone hits, come out crying that it wouldn't have happened, if only you'd let them tax you more for your sinful energy consumption.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face
On the contrary; perhaps it is global warming, since adding energy to the system increases its volatility.
I'm sorry, but I slept through that part of my high schools science class which I failed utterly in, so therefore I'm going to discount it entirely as Conspiracy Bullshit by the Liberal-Conservative Government Conspiracy which is attempting to rule the world by Leveraging the Industrial-Military Complex.
You use fancy-ass words like "volatile", what does puking have to do with the weather? Just more proof this is a Communist-backed Al Quada plot to destroy our Economic Prosperity and place us under rule of Martial Law.
You with all your flashy "facts" and "figures" can fuck right off. I went outside today and it was cold, so it's obvious that the climate is getting colder, not warmer. Anecdotal evidence is always the best evidence, and we know the ice cores and tree rings were planted by Satan to fool us into thinking global warming is real so he can sucker us into another one of his Real Estate Pyramid Schemes.
Now excuse me, I need to fire up my very large truck and go get a load of coal so I can finish my slash-and-burn farming.
