Hey Al Gore, What’s All This White Stuff?

As Americans batten down the hatches for what could be an historic blizzard in the northeast, let’s revisit the recent claims made by those geniuses in the climate change movement and their sales force in big media.

“The End of Snow?” warned a New York Times headline last February. Yeah, right.

In 2000, the London Independent reported uncritically the dire warning of Dr. David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, who said that, in the future, "Children just aren't going to know what snow is."

Now the all-wise climate guardians have hedged their bets by telling us that climate change is the reason it is snowing so much. And if you don’t see the scientific brilliance in that flip-flop, I guess you just went to the wrong school.

I and others have called man-made catastrophic climate change a religion because it includes the elements of a paradise lost, sinners, sacrifice, atonement and an apocalypse. But calling it a religion gives it too much credit. It’s closer to a conspiracy theory on the Internet, unmoored from facts and consistency.

And, as for science, it has plenty of the political variety, propped up by dubious temperature readings cooked in a kitchen of faulty methodology or just made up.

A cool period of unknown duration is here. You were warned. Get your shovel and your woolies. And please, go make a lot of CO2.
