Not even the righteous lifestyles of the San Franciscans have spared them the chilly breath of Mother Gaia
Record lows at San Francisco Airport (station since 1945) are in the lower 30s during the fist week of February.
Feb 6th record low is 31°F set in 1989. Cold air from NW Canada is being dragged down the West Coast … chilly pattern ahead for California! (not the Polar Vortex) pic.twitter.com/ZfGvFXepLh
Here – spotted by Tony Heller at The Deplorable Science Blog – is an old New York Times article telling us what to expect in the age of global warming…
Here is another very moving story from the New York Times from 2014. Weep for the skiing industry. Soon we may never see snow again:
NYT 2014: “The end of snow?…in the Northeast, more than half of the 103 ski resorts may no longer be viable in 30 years because of warmer winters” https://t.co/W8trFcaXpS
Here – never let us forget – is the tragic prediction made in 2000 by Dr David Viner, senior research scientist at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and Britain’s University of Easy Access East Anglia:
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.”
Has the climate alarmism industry shown any contrition for its doomsday scaremongering about global warming? Absolutely none. Instead, it is doubling down…
Here is Canada’s CBC, greensplaining about how all this cold weather is basically just another sign of global warming.
Here is CNN trying to distract us with “Look! It’s very hot in Australia” [Author’s note: it is currently summer in Australia, a notoriously hot country]
US cities as cold as the Arctic. An Australian inferno. The UK covered in snow. It’s only one month into 2019 and extreme weather is shattering records around the world. https://t.co/yYqe0kuFZapic.twitter.com/TpNUctXSjO
Meanwhile Sen Elizabeth Warren believes that in future the Polar Vortex can be avoided, just so long as we bomb the economy back to the Dark Ages with the Green New Deal:
Our children & grandchildren should grow up in a world where they can breathe the air & drink the water – and go outside without risking their lives in extreme temperatures. It’s time to protect our planet & pass a Green New Deal. #PolarVortex2019https://t.co/JYnVrxMf1t
Meanwhile in the world of science, evidence and reality…
The polar vortex is weather, doing what weather does. There have been cold winters before…
The coldest winters in the US were 1977/1978/1979 during the global cooling scare. The hottest summers (by far) were during the 1930s.
We have always had extreme temperatures, and it is astonishing that any politician could be so dishonest or misinformed as to state otherwise.
