“Why it’s snow, honey.”
“That’s impossible. We live in Las Vegas.”
“That’s impossible. We live in Las Vegas.”
Sorry, but daddy is right. The city where your Uncle Dave lives and it regularly gets to 115 in the summer was buried in snow today. The photos above are ones I took from my apartment balcony this afternoon. What the hell happened to global warming?!?
Both roads to California are closed. Airlines canceled flights. 3-6″ on the valley floor, 1-2 feet in the mountains by morning. Biggest snow storm in 41 years, according to one local TV station, although it’s starting to melt, then freeze at 6pm. While people from, say, Buffalo wouldn’t even notice it’s snowing at these levels, no one here (except ex-snow state escapees like yours truly) knows how to drive in it.
How’s it by you?
The interesting thing about the renaming to “climate change” is that it removes any possibility of being wrong unless everything stays exactly the same.
> What the hell happened to global warming?!?
If the globe heats up, this means more energy for storms (heat = energy). So, these storms would be what’s expected given the extra energy.
I hate Global Warming – I’m slowly freezing to death from it.
Without SUVs there’s no reason to have an Earth – so who gives a shit anyway?
#64, Lyin’ Mike,
Even in the modelling, the science is very much open, but that doesn’t get said very much. Change a few of the variables, and global warming disappears.
Maybe you would care to share some examples of the “modeling” errors.
IF you change the variables, yes you may reasonably expect different results. BUT for a valid experiment any change in the variable would have to follow an accepted path and quantity. In other words, Lying’ Mike, you can’t do that Republican wing nut shit and just make up numbers that have no connection to reality. The model numbers must be reasonable, demonstrative, and explainable.
The snow in Las Vegas is not unprecedented. I remember meeting some business men from Mexico about 12 years ago. They had snow in the Yucatan and Mexico City areas while at the meeting in southern Ontario Canada it was 60 F.
