Actual TIME Mag Headline: “Holiday Blizzard: More Signs of Global Warming”

Beyond parody…

(TIME) — It’s become as much a winter tradition as eggnog at Christmas and champagne on New Year’s Eve — the first major snowstorm of the year bringing out the climate-change skeptics. And the bona fide blizzard that has frozen much of the Northeast just a few days after winter officially began definitely qualifies as major. But while piles of snow blocking your driveway hardly conjure images of a dangerously warming world, it doesn’t mean that climate change is a myth. The World Meteorological Organization recently reported that 2010 is almost certainly going to be one of the three warmest years on record, while 2001 to 2010 is already the hottest decade in recorded history. Indeed, according to some scientists, all of these events may actually be connected.

One theory is that a warmer Arctic may actually lead to colder and snowier winters in the northern mid-latitudes. Even as countries like Britain — suffering through the coldest December on record — deal with low temperatures and unusual snow, the Arctic has kept on warming, with Greenland and Arctic Canada experiencing the hottest year on record. Temperatures in that region have been 5.4°F to 7.2°F (3°C to 4°C) above normal in 2010. As a result, the Arctic sea-ice cover has continued to shrink; this September, the minimum summer sea-ice extent was more than 770,000 sq. mi. (2 million sq km) below the long-term average, and the third-smallest on record. Snow may be piling up in midtown Manhattan, but the Arctic is continuing its long-term meltdown.

    Climate does not equal Weather. Weather does not equal Climate. This is all agenda driven nonsense.

    You can check the weather in the Antarctic anytime for yourself. It’s their summer right now. Tell me how all that ice can be melting.

    yep – north polar ice melts, wind picks up more water, snows like crazy in the mountains, glaciers come down.
    Welcome to the next ice age..

    Everything and anything is made into gorebull warming.. I’m so sick of these jackasses trying to pass off this fake science so that they can make billions more off of we taxpayers.

    The global warmers/climate changers , or whatever have got to big of an investment going in the giant green machine at the rest of the worlds expense.

    These greedy power hungry charlatans are not about to give it all up, and will redesign the hockey stick or whatever it takes to try and convince you to buy into their perpetual fraud led by the high priestess of that fraud Al Gore.

    Dear Bryan Walsh,

    Could you cite just one example -pre 2008- of a prediction that Global Warming would incease the amount and frequency of snow events?

    Right in the story it says “One theory”. I thought that global warming was a fact set in cement, and no longer a theory. A bunch of educated fools!

    So, let’s see … if it’s hot, that proves “global warming.” If it’s cold, that proves “global warming.” If it’s raining, that proves “global warming.” If it’s snowing, that proves “global warming.” I suppose sunrises and sunsets prove “global warming” as well. Oh, and of course, this all proves that human activity is responsible for “global warming.” Well, I’m convinced.

    Do they realize that they’ve gone far past the line separating scientific hypothesis (which is something that can be proved or disproved) to article of faith? But we’re crazy because we believe in God? Okay …
