Lack of Snow Proof of Man made Global Warming?

admin on February 2nd, 2011

In this video, Democrats motivate reactionary legislation via the lack of snow, claiming they don't need a scientist to see the impact of global warming.  It seems to make sense that in years in which there is less than average snow the culprit used by politicians would be man-made global warming.   However, the record snow experienced by the United States this year is also cited as proof of man-made global warming.  Be it flood, drought, hurricane, heat or cold, despite the lack of predictive validation, it's all due to man-made global warming.

An Answer for Bill February 1, 2011 : 11:43 AM

Last week on his show Bill O'Reilly asked, "Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?" and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question.

As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming:

"In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow."

"A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species."

It's always easier after the fact to find at least one article amid the sea of publications who wrote something consistent with what actually occurred.

Killing Penguins to Prove Global Warming?

admin on January 14th, 2011

Hoping to prove global warming, scientists may have instead be killing penguins:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some scientists studying penguins may be inadvertently harming them with the metal bands they use to keep track of the tuxedo-clad seabirds, a new study says.

The survival rate of King penguins with metal bands on their flippers was 44 percent lower than those without bands and banded birds produced far fewer chicks, according to new research published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

The theory is that the metal bands — either aluminum or stainless steel — increase drag on the penguins when they swim, making them work harder, the study's authors said. Author Yvon Le Maho of the University of Strasbourg in France, said the banded penguins looked haggard, appearing older than their actual age.

Consequently, studies that use banded penguins — including ones about the effects of global warming on the seabirds — may be inaccurate, mixing up other changes in penguin life with the effects from banding, said Le Maho and colleague Claire Saraux.
 

Ok, that didn't work out so well.  So what's up with this?  After 10 years of studying the birds and now understanding that their data is tainted …

The researchers made clear that they believe climate change is real, but that data from banded penguins may not be offering a good portrait of its effects. "We just need to think we need a better method to study it," Saraux says.

The data doesn't fit their belief so find another method of study?
