The Other Side of an Argument
January 16th 2010 19:55
I actually believed that this was going to be a mild winter. Up until mid-December it was. November was one of the mildest in years without a trace of snow, which hasn't happened in decades. Then sometime before Christmas, the temperatures dropped and the snow wouldn't stop. Where we were below average in snowfall up to now, we are now well above average. The temperatures have been extremely frigid with the wind adding to lowering them for a biting combination.
This past week has seen a bit of snow but temperatures still below freezing. We are finally going above freezing for at least this week. Good thing we got this January thaw and we might as well enjoy it for now, because we still have a couple of cold and snowy months still to go.
For the record, keep in mind that I don't doubt global warming...I doubt the 'man-made' argument.
Here come the argument to prove doubters wrong about the cold snap and global warming. I'd like to give my answers to the questions..."Next time there's a heatwave in summer or an unusually mild spell in winter, will you publicly accept that the 'warmists' were right all along? Excuse me but most of the warmists arguments are based on summers and mild winters.
If not, why not?
I acknowledge that there might be a warming but I dispute 'man-made!'
If a cold snap means the climate is getting colder, surely a spell of hot weather proves it is getting warmer?"
This seems like a repetitive question. All these questions proved is that there is a way where both sides are right. If Climate is the average weather over decades, we leave out an entire century where temperatures actually dropped. See the 1800s, which I've written about before.
Either way you look at it, I tend to agree with the article overall. And if you agree with it too, you should read it very carefully. Why you may ask? Because of what's missing. It never says man-made! Of course, everyone believes what they want and can easily insert the man-made concept into it.
