The news media says it's so, Obama and Gore say it's so. Really? Then why are we freezing our assets off in the Midwest, the Northeast and Florida? Here, in Pitttsburgh, we haven't been hit as hard with snow this winter as the Great Lakes States; but we have been around 0°F without wind chill for most of the last two weeks and have received more snow than all last winter so far. Even many parts of Florida, including Orlando and Daytona Beach, have had frost last week, with temperatures down to the low thirties and twenties. It is the coldest winter Floridians have had in decades.
As I ask people I talk with each day, "How about all this global warming we're having?" Most laugh, knowing, as I do, that it's all a lie. One woman, however, said she had heard it explained to her on the news, that the more extreme cold was caused by global warming. She said global warming actually causes greater variation in temperatures, even greater cold. What a fascinating yarn. And the bull goes on, even as we are experiencing the coldest winter in years, caused by lack of solar sun spot activity, not man.
Here are some more specific examples of so-called global warming. In Michigan, there's many places continually covered in deep snow in the lower peninsular for weeks. One place in Wisconsin was down to -20°F without wind chill. Last month, there were locals with two feet of snow from Wisconsin to New England. This week it hit 14°F above zero someplace in Florida. Other areas in Florida have had damage to plants and bushes and experienced large losses in the orange crop because of the unseasonable plunge in the cold. And still the liberals call it global warming.
