Leftist media thinks that record snowfalls are caused by global warming

Well, of course it’s MSNBC, d’uh. (H/T Gateway Pundit)

Transcript:

The snowpocalypse that is going through DC and other extreme events are precisely what the climate scientists have been predicting, fearing and anticipating, because of global warming. Why is that? The thinking that warmer air temperatures on the earth a higher air temperature has a greater capacity to hold moisture at any temperature. And that as winter comes in that warm air cools full of water and you get heavier precipitation on a regular basis. In fact, you can argue these storms are not evidence of a lack of global warming, but are evidence of global warming.”

And the leftist Time magazine says that blizzards are caused by global warming. (H/T Gateway Pundit)

Excerpt:

Britain is bracing itself for one of the coldest winters for a century with temperatures hitting minus 16 degrees Celsius, forecasters have warned. They predicted no let up in the freezing snap until at least mid-January, with snow, ice and severe frosts dominating. And the likelihood is that the second half of the month will be even colder…

Weather patterns were more like those in the late 1970s, experts said, while Met Office figures released on Monday are expected to show that the country is experiencing the coldest winter for up to 25 years.

Well, on the plus side there’ll be lots more research money for hide-the-decline research.

Will December 2009 be the coldest on record?

Story here at Watts Up With That? (H/T ECM)

Excerpt:

According to NOAA, October was the third coldest on record in the US, with almost every state showing temperatures from one to ten degrees below normal.  Some Parts of Colorado received record snowfall during October, starting the first week of the month.

With a few days left, it appears that December is headed for a repeat, with temperatures ranging from one to fifteen degrees below normal.

I know what the response from the secular left will be: global temperatures are not evidence against global warming, and even if global warming is a lie, we need to move towards communism to stop pollution and overpopulation.
