More Global Warming News

[general35]

White stuff fell across much of the Houston area Wednesday evening, as temperatures hovered just above freezing, tying a record for the city's earliest ever snowfall.

Since 1895, according to data collected by Houston's Weather Research Center, snow has fallen this early just once — on Dec. 10, 1944 — during the last 113 years.

Typically, snow falls about every four years in the Houston area. The city's last snowfall was a memorable one, coming on Christmas Eve 2004.

Forecasters at the Houston/Galveston office of the National Weather Service said clouds and precipitation should give way Thursday to sunshine and warmer temperatures, with highs expected to reach the upper 50s.

Thanks, General. I'm convinced, and am changing my world view.

local weather news != global warming news

hey johnny, often that is exactly what we get from the alarmists (not indicting you here) who use hurricanes or anything they can to cry "global warming!" so your point is well-taken, but the original poster may have just been mocking the sort of evidence that is used by alarmists regularly. didn't we have a huge thread started about arctic ice being particularly low this year? tell me how that is substantially different? in fact, when i stayed with that story and it turned out to be fairly silly (right now we are as high as we have been since 2002 by the way), everyone sort of changed their tune......

by the way:

both the area and extent are nearing the 30 year average and are already within the standard deviation:

johnny, when you ask questions like that i can't tell if you are purposely misunderstanding my point or really don't get it.

i was referring to THIS thread and the fact that single data points don't mean much....unless they supposedly prove global warming. the low ice was being put forth as some evidence of global warming, but this year turned out to have much more ice than last year and is now as substantial as 2002-2004. i was NOT making a claim that a bunch of you alarmists changed your mind. i don't believe that....but as you can see from some of the quotes above, some of your former supporters from the scientific community ARE changing their minds.....

i really am curious what the alarmists around here believe about the quotes i am posting from former defenders of the status quo who have turned against it.

It's not even funny any more, mop, you're just embarrassing yourself.

explain pmg. is there something i am missing from these scientists? seriously, i know i could be missing something so i am just curious. i like inhofe, but i know that politicians are not above making stupid arguments to overstate their case.
