Climate Astrology: Blizzard blamed on global warming?! Is there any weather event that is inconsistent with global warming? — Climate Depot Round up

Here we go again. Global warming activists and some warmist scientists are linking the massive blizzard to man-made global warming.

Global Warming Causes Less Snow, Except When It Causes More Snow’

Jersey News Outlet Cries ‘Global Warming’ as Blizzard Approaches

Warmist Brad Johnson tries to make the pending East Coast blizzard about the ocean ‘warming –Fails

Rebuttal: Bob Tisdale shows how ‘Forecast the Facts” Brad Johnson and now Dr. Heidi Cullen are fecklessly factless about ocean warming and the blizzard — Dear Chicken Little: ‘The Sky Is Falling (It’s Snowing) But Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies Off New England Are NOT Unusual’

Rebuttal: Global Warming To Bring Colder/Warmer Winters – Analysis by Paul Homewood – ‘It seems that every time we get some snow, another “scientist” is wheeled out to explain that, no matter how cold it gets, it is all down to global warming’

New paper finds warming causes less snow: Paper published in the Journal of Climate — Study ‘finds that warmer temperatures cause less snow, and conversely, colder temperatures cause more snow. According to the authors, ‘Using a simple multivariate model, [increased] temperature is shown to drive these trends by decreasing snowfall almost everywhere.’ The paper refutes the claims of climate alarmists that global warming causes more snow, and every other possible weather event’

UN IPCC 2001: ‘Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms’ — Also, The UN IPCC Draft in 1995: ‘Shrinking snow cover in winter’ — Analysis: ‘In 2010-2011, heavy snow was due to global warming. Then in 2012 the lack of snow in the Eastern US was due to global warming, and now in 2013 heavy snow is again due to global warming’

Settled Science: Global Warming To Bring Colder/Warmer Winters — ‘It seems that every time we get some snow, another ‘scientist’ is wheeled out to explain that, no matter how cold it gets, it is all down to global warming…But let’s, for one moment, remind ourselves of some of the ‘scientists’ who have said the exact opposite’

MARILYN PENN: MY HUSBAND

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOVIE “WHEN HARRY MET STEVE”….RSK

I admit that I was taken aback when the young prime channel weatherman, showing pictures of animals frolicking in the snow on Sunday, laughingly interjected that he tried to take his cat out to play but his husband wouldn’t let him. Just like that – a throwaway remark brought home how enormous the change in our acceptance of gay lifestyle has become – it’s less the legality of gay marriage than the freedom to proclaim it unexpectedly in a very public workplace , in a completely random context. Later that morning, in reading the Sunday Times, I came across two more references by men to their husbands: one was in the Advice Column and was irrelevant to the subject of the letter, as was the second in a column by the noted writer Andrew Solomon. In other words, nobody was campaigning for gay rights – these were simply gay men talking about other things and by the way, referencing their spouses. The very casual use of this familiar term, “my husband,” had a greater impact on me than all the debates I’ve seen and heard and all the admonitions concerning civil rights. It signaled the type of comfort people feel when they’re not concealing secrets and therefore, aren’t worried about revealing them.

FRANK GAFFNEY: OBAMA’S FRIENDS OF HAMAS

http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2013/02/11/obamas-friends-of-hamas/ Last week, twenty-five Republican Senators wrote a former member of their caucus and the man President Obama wants to lead the Defense Department a letter demanding full disclosure of his financial dealings. To date, Sen. Chuck Hagel has demonstrated afresh his contempt for the legislature by declining to do so. To their credit, the […]

Fertility, Faith, and the Decline of Islam: Strategic Implications: David Goldman

http://pjmedia.com/spengler/2013/02/11/fertility-faith-and-the-decline-of-islam-strategic-implications/?print=1 The liberal establishment has finally taken note of the elephant in the Muslim parlor, namely the closing of the Muslim womb. A year after the American Enterprise Institute’s Nicholas Eberstadt reported the precipitous fall in Muslim fertility in a widely commented paper, and seven years after I reported the trend and its strategic implications […]

DAVID “SPENGLER” GOLDMAN: ON POPE BENEDICT

http://pjmedia.com/spengler/2013/02/11/i-have-a-mustard-seed-and-im-not-afraid-to-use-it/

All who love the Free World heard with sadness today’s news of the abdication of Pope Benedict XVI, whose physical infirmity caused him to step down from the chair of St. Peter. As the shepherd of the founding institution of the West, Benedict personally embodied its best traditions. He is one of the last men living to have assimilated the fullness of European culture, a member of the “heroic generation” of Catholic theologians that included Henri de Lubac and Hans Urs von Balthasar.

We will remember many acts of intellectual courage from this pope. One in particular comes to mind today, namely his speech at the University of Regensburg on September 12, 2006. In the face of great controversy, Benedict cited the Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologue: “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” And he added:

The emperor,

ANDREW WILSON: HE WHO NO LONGER WALKS ON WATER ****

http://spectator.org/archives/2013/02/11/he-who-no-longer-walks-on-wate At this stage in our nation’s decline, does anyone still care what Barack Obama thinks or says about “the state of the union”? I think not. More than 52 million people watched Obama’s first State of the Union in 2009. It has been all downhill ever since –– with 48 million viewers in 2010, […]

Lew, President Obama’s former chief of staff and budget director, and now his nominee to head the U.S. Treasury, will face the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday at the formal vetting stage prior to confirmation.

WES PRUDEN: ALL THE PRESIDENT’S GOOGLY MEN

http://www.prudenpolitics.com/newsletter?utm_source=P&P%20Auto%201&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6133 Barack Obama says he’s not a Muslim, but a Christian. That’s his business, between the president and God. The president clearly has a soft spot in his heart for Islam. He once described the call to evening prayer, which he first heard as a child in a Muslim school in Indonesia, as “one of […]
