The weather outside is frightful…again
Brrrr. It’s very cold in a wide swath of the United States, as well as in China, where a record was set in Beijing: “Media reports say it was ‘the coldest day in December in the last 57 years’.” Meanwhile in Canada the same thing is happening:
Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips told CTV Newsnet that “it looks like a very good chance” it will be a white Christmas for all parts of Canada for the first time since 1971. “It’s just sort of the beginning of winter, and it’s a little much to expect when we have so many different climatic types in this country for it to be frozen and snow-covered from right across the huge country,” he told CTV Newsnet on Sunday…Phillips said some parts of the country are seeing snowfall amounts that have outpaced last year’s record and near-record totals at this point in the season.
Meanwhile in Europe, temperatures “are liable to average 6-10 degrees F below normal.” Joe Bastardi of AccuWeather comments:
I wish to point out, with no malice intended, that the two countries who have major scientific organizations that have been pushing the global warming idea, Britain and the UKMET and the US with NOAA have been burned by the cold that has developed here. NOAA had a December forecast for a warm central US for November that they were forced to revise and the UKMET forecast for a rather bland winter for Europe speaks for itself. Its anything but bland…
As we noted a year ago, it may well be that the earth is undergoing a cooling phase in part due to a Maunder Minimum. Once again we wonder: will the fraudsters and hype artists suffer if a colossal scam is exposed?
