Bolling: Snow "breaking Al Gore's heart because" it's "burying his global warming theory"

Nope. All it's doing is providing illegitimate political cover for those who want to continue doing nothing...

-------------------------------------------------------------
...A course of action which will eventuall result in disaster.

CLIMATE CHANGE

NOT weather change.

These people have absolutely no idea what their talking about. In fact, the opposite could be argued with much more clarity. I would argue just like most climate scientists that it's the volatility in the weather patterns that point to a real disruption in climate. The fact that there using a record setting snowfall to claim nothing has changed can only be characterized as 'laughable'.

You might be wondering?

Are conservatives really this stupid?

The answer, I'm afraid, is a resounding: YES!

Bolling, the Olympics committee are the ones crying. Please explain the lack of snow for the Olympics? I think we have a stale mate on your excitement.

Yes, it's sad, isn't it? Because we all remember Al Gore declaring, "We will never, ever get a lot of snow anywhere ever again."

I wonder how many times they'll tell the same joke. OMG it's snowing and Al Gore said it would never snow again ROFL! stfu.

I wonder how many times they'll tell the same joke. OMG it's snowing and Al Gore said it would never snow again ROFL! stfu.

"63% of the country now covered in snow - RPT" - can anyone verify this "fact?" What is RPT?

And putting Al Gore's book in the snow - to quote Andy Samberg doing Rahm Emmanuel - what are you, 14?

Al Gore's global warming theory? So he just made the whole thing up?

Ok, so we are below our normal snow pack in Montana so what does that say geniuses over at Fox??? It's not about weather it's about CLIMATE! The climate is changing causing massive snow storms and violent hurricane and heat waves. OY!!!!! (sorry, that's all I can muster at the stupidity!!!)

These people.... "there can't be global warming, it's cold out"
No, this is a weather pattern, also known as el nino. Global warming is a widely agreed on theory(aka fact) that uses decades of data, not just from a cople weeks. This greater than normal precipitation is caused by el nino and yes, global warming.

How global warming makes blizzrds worse:

So, I wonder... if we have record heat waves in various locations this summer, will that melt FOX's theory that there's no Global Warming?

Yeah, that's what I thought...

"An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will CHANGE the AMOUNT and PATTERN of PRECIPITATION, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts. Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects include INCREASES in the INTENSITY of EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS, species extinctions, and changes in agricultural yields. Warming and related changes will VARY from region to region around the globe, though the nature of these regional variations are UNCERTAIN."

So stupid is the new black huh?

In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today's anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don't own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers.

In those days, I recall my uncle, President Kennedy, standing erect as he rode a toboggan in his top coat, never faltering until he slid into the boxwood at the bottom of the hill. Once, my father, Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, brought a delegation of visiting Eskimos home from the Justice Department for lunch at our house. They spent the afternoon building a great igloo in the deep snow in our backyard. My brothers and sisters played in the structure for several weeks before it began to melt. On weekend afternoons, we commonly joined hundreds of Georgetown residents for ice skating on Washington's C&O Canal, which these days rarely freezes enough to safely skate.

Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil and its carbon cronies continue to pour money into think tanks whose purpose is to deceive the American public into believing that global warming is a fantasy.

The problem here is that nobody has dumbed down a counter point to these people. It snows when it is cold so, many conservatives (as well as many 4 year olds) think that the more it snows, the colder it is. They don't know anything about meteorology basics, they don't realize that it can snow and stick at 32 deg F. They don't realize that the snow is a result of warm humid air, cooling and that the air has to be warm enough to hold a significant amount of moisture. So, yes it needs to be cold for it to snow, but not too cold. In fact, although this might be a bit simplistic, ideal temperatures for snow are close to 32 deg. And as we all know February sees temperatures much lower than that.

My apologies, I unfairly generalized conservatives. Lets go with anti-warming folk instead.

Two snow storms. Within less than a week of each other. In early February. In the Northeast. Following after one of the warmest recorded January's on record worldwide.

What... how... why would this debunk or even prove anything concerning climate change? Really? Its a snow storm in winter. When did anyone say that all snow storms would cease to exist this quickly with climate change?

Its just so sad how this is supposed to be journalism, when it all just sounds like school yard bickering and play ground name calling. I'm just out of college, and I feel more mature than these "newscasters". If you disagree, at last through up facts. You know, those things that journalists are supposed to use to make their point. Don't just point to a snow storm in one small section of a continent in the dead of winter as proof of anything.

Did they even touch on the fact that Vancouver is warm enough that there's no snow on the ground for the Winter Olympics, and that they have to ship it in? If a single snow storm can disprove global warming, what does the situation in Vancouver mean?

"CLIMATE CHANGE

NOT weather change."

Cold...Hot, Warm...Cold
Record breaking temperatures predicted.......Record breaking snowfalls and deaths due to cold
Himalayas snow disappearing shortly...not disappearing shortly
Scientists agree on climate change...Scientists pressure to agree
Scienctific data supporting report....Scientific data destroyed
Scientific data peer reviewed.....Scientific data from magazine
World warming since '98'.....World actualy cooling....

Semantics.....

I posted this on another page, but it will work here too. I also added Al Gore's age at each step to clarify how old he was when he developed the global warming theory.

The following is from: http://www.livescience.com/environment/070131_climate_change_history.html

1896 (Al Gore is -62)
Arrhenius publishes first calculation of global warming from human emissions of CO2.

1897 (Al Gore is -61)
Chamberlin produces a model for global carbon exchange including feedbacks.

1930s (Al Gore is about -20 to -25)
Global warming trend since late 19th century reported.

1938 (Al Gore is -20)
Callendar argues that CO2 greenhouse global warming is underway, reviving interest in the question.

1945 (Al Gore is -3)
U.S. Office of Naval Research begins generous funding of many fields of science, some of which happen to be useful for understanding climate change.

>>> Al Gore born in 1948 <<< (I added this - not from site)

1956 (Al Gore is 8)
Phillips produces a somewhat realistic computer model of the global atmosphere.
Plass calculates that adding CO2 to the atmosphere will have a significant effect on the radiation balance.

1960 (Al Gore is 12)
Downturn of global temperatures since the early 1940s is reported.
Keeling accurately measures CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere and detects an annual rise. The level is 315 ppm.

1963 (Al Gore is 15)
Calculations suggest that feedback with water vapor could
make the climate acutely sensitive to changes in CO2 level.

1967 (Al Gore is 19)
International Global Atmospheric Research Program established, mainly to gather data for better short-range weather prediction but including climate.
Manabe and Wetherald make a convincing calculation that doubling CO2 would raise world temperatures a couple of degrees.

1968 (Al Gore is 20)
Studies suggest a possibility of collapse of Antarctic ice sheets, which would sea levels catastrophically.

And so on...

So by 1968, when Gore as a mere 20 yrs old, he'd have to cultivate this quite a bit. That's a lot for a kid to do. Looks like he accomplished a lot, even before he was born. He should get another Nobel Prize for accomplishing something that has never been done before!
