NOOOOOOOO!

Where's that Global Warming when you need it? Why can't democrats EVER be right?

"The U.S. is bracing itself for freezing temperatures and snow as a result of part of the polar vortex heading southwards - sending temperatures spiralling 10 to 20 degrees below normal.

The current mild weather is forecasted to end on Sunday, when a vast pocket of extremely cold air will hit the Central and Eastern States and keep them in its icy grip until Friday.

The polar vortex is a massive cyclone that circles the planet's geographical poles. The Northern Hemisphere vortex often contains two extremely cold low pressure centres, one near Baffin Island, Canada and the other over northeast Siberia in Russia.

AccuWeather Long Range Expert Paul Pastelok said: 'Areas from the northern and central Plains to the Great Lakes, the upper Gulf Coast and the Appalachians will feel significant impact from the arctic outbreak.'

Worst hit will be Fargo, North Dakota, and Minneapolis to Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati.

Americans are warned to take steps to combat hypothermia and frostbite in the North and Southern states are being urged to break out the winter coats.

'It is possible single-digit low temperatures occur in parts of the northern Plains and the Upper Midwest, away from the Great Lakes with temperatures plunging

to 20 degrees below average in parts of the South,' Mr Pastelok added.

Cold air passing over the relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes will result in localised snow and squalls from the Upper Midwest to the interior Northeast.

Mr Pastelok said: 'A broad area of snow on the ground would result in significantly lower temperatures.'

Lisa Murkowski, a REPUBLICAN Senator from Alaska, won re-election. While her celebration event was happening, a climate change workshop was being held in the same hotel. She was part of that workshop.
Heard Murkowski interviewed this morning. She is concerned about climate change/warming in Alaska. The frozen soils are thawing, moving sewer lines and shearing water lines. Coastal water elevations are rising. She is a REPUBLICAN and is aware of and concerned with the warming temps.

The Pubs can deny, deny, deny all they want. Won't make climate change go away. Along with Murkowski's interview this morning, a Purdue scientist added that the issue seems to be wanting to discuss the reasons of the warming vs. solutions to the warming. The reasons... man-made or natural phenomona... seems to be the stickler with partisan politics. What needs addressed is solutions to what we will see in the next couple of decades if we simply turn our backs on the issue.

That's pretty bad when the only actual argument that alarmists have for AGW is that they snookered a republican, so it must be real.

 

[as seen on tv]

last month "climate boffins" (as the UK calls them) issued a press release claiming that cold winters are caused by too much CO2 in the atmosphere.

so essentially, there is NO temperature/weather outcome that can now disprove global warming.

whether the temperature goes up or down, drought or flood, "weird weather" or the lack of hurricanes - some climate change groupie somewhere has posted "proof" that CO2 causes all of these.

So why is the polar vortex moving southward? Are the usual temperature/pressure gradients in the atmosphere being perturbed, perhaps by some well-known input of energy?
