During record cold temperatures for a State of the Union address. :D:D:D

Global warming religionists just never give up!!!

I find it funny that you are apparently using the term religionist as a derogatory term.

Again, you are using local weather to somehow, in your mind only, disprove climate change on a global scale.
Time and time again you prove to us that you don't fully understand the terms: weather, climate, local or global. Or the differences between them.

Also, there's this:

Data Shows Average Temperatures in January Aren't So Cold | TIME.com
What do we learn from this? Well for one thing, there’s an East Coast bias in news coverage, at least of the weather. But while it truly has been historically cold on average for much of the Midwest, for most of the rest of the country the average temperatures have been around normal, or even a little above. And the West Coast is experiencing an unusually hot winter (one that has compounded the record drought in California). Average high temperatures have been further above normal in Los Angeles and San Jose than they’ve been below average in Chicago. Anchorage has been positively balmy—by Alaskan standards—with average daily highs that are 11 F (6.1 C) greater than the historical average for January.
That is, if you want to look at local weather patterns to determine global climate patterns.

Of course there's an association between them. That's seems to be where your confusion about local weather and global climate is coming from.

There's also a difference between weather and climate.

The difference seeming to be that a warming climate is making cold weather :D:D:D

And the US is, of course, the globe.

Or two per cent of the globe.

One of those - I can't remember ...

Meanwhile, where I live it has been over three degrees (proper degrees; celsius) above average for the first 25 days of the year.

Global warming: if it isn't warmer than average where you live right now, the leftist conspiracy has been disproved.

It's cold during the winter, therefore climate change/warming isn't happening. Alright then.
The Climate changes all the time, we don't cause it, and can't "fix" it no matter how much money you throw at Climatists. It's like the race baiters or Communist Cuba, the baiters act as if we are still back in Jim Crow and the Commies still talk like they are still in a revolution.They will always be fighting their revolution. Nothing will satiate their hunger for power and money no matter how much power and money they get.

I wasn't surprised to hear a claim that communism is the best form of government to combat global-climate-warming-cooling-changing-staying the saming. But I know that the exact opposite is true. I was in West Germany in the mid '80s, saw East Germany and lived through Chernobyl.

But there are the true colors, political ideology, not "saving" the planet. You really have to hate people(the little people, not the self appointed elites) to embrace this steaming pile of horse chips.

One wonders if he will embrace the full global warming scenario ... or the limited scope version.

One also wonders if Obama will entertain the possibility of a new Maunder minimum? :confused:

BBC News - Is our Sun falling silent?
"I've been a solar physicist for 30 years, and I've never seen anything quite like this," says Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.

He shows me recent footage captured by spacecraft that have their sights trained on our star. The Sun is revealed in exquisite detail, but its face is strangely featureless.

"If you want to go back to see when the Sun was this inactive... you've got to go back about 100 years," he says.

This solar lull is baffling scientists, because right now the Sun should be awash with activity.
Sigh ... so much for accurate predictive capability.
Dr Green says: "There is a very strong hint that the Sun is acting in the same way now as it did in the run-up to the Maunder Minimum."

Mike Lockwood, professor of space environment physics, from the University of Reading, thinks there is a significant chance that the Sun could become increasingly quiet.

An analysis of ice-cores, which hold a long-term record of solar activity, suggests the decline in activity is the fastest that has been seen in 10,000 years.

"It's an unusually rapid decline," explains Prof Lockwood.

No wonder he was able to heal the planet. It wasn't sick to begin with

Australia is currently in the grip of it's SECOND record breaking heatwave THIS MONTH. So, I know its cold in the US at the moment, but if you could remember that global issues are, well, global, and that just because its a cold winter doesn't mean you won't be having your own record breaking summer in a few months, that'd be great.

Yes. And as I've said, that is the difference that you don't seem to understand. Now, I'm not an expert in climatology by any means but, I would say the biggest misconception of global warming or climate change is that the earth will just heat up uniformly like a pot of water on a stove. That is a very naive view, IMO, of how the earth works as a system.

You can't take, take, take and take from one part not expect something to give in another.

The Climate changes all the time, we don't cause it,

Actually, we can. While a nuclear winter is unlikely to happen these days, such a scenario certainly was possible during the darkest days of the Cold War. We can also effect climate with deforestation and by messing with the composition of the atmosphere. There are many ways we can effect climate change.

...and can't "fix" it no matter how much money you throw at Climatists.

Why is it so hard to grasp that if the cost of the fix is a quadrillion dollars or a penny, it won't effect won't effect what is happening one iota.

We have these threads here every winter. The same denialists talking about how cold it is, in North America, in the winter.

Oddly enough, nothing is ever said during heat waves during the summer.

During record cold temperatures for a State of the Union address.

Maybe he should deliver it in Los Angeles?

L.A.'s Holiday Heat Wave Breaks Records, & There's More to Come | The Informer | Los Angeles | Los Angeles News and Events | LA Weekly
You can officially mark the 2013 holiday season as one that saw a historic heatwave in Southern California. Maybe you'll tell your grandchildren about it someday.

Today, Downtown Los Angeles set a record high temperature of 85 degrees, beating 1947's 83. Not only that, but the National Weather Service actually recorded temps as high as 90 degrees in L.A. County.​

But hey, pay no attention to Australia or Siberia or California... it's cold, in the Northeast, in winter. :doh:
