If your pet theory is in trouble you can modify it to try for a better fit with reality or you can abandon it as useless and start over again. Climate scientists dedicated to the CACC meme so far, have decided to save their theory of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming/Climate Change (CAGW/CACC) by claiming all weather phenomena as evidence to confirm the theory. CO2 has become God of the Atmosphere and can create whatever the weather is as what the weather was predicted to be by the unfalsifiable and hence correct (sarc) theory of climate change. If that reads like you just took a trip down the rabbit hole to visit Alice in Wonderland then welcome to the club.
Scientists emotionally invested in their theory , who can admit no contrary evidence, will blind themselves to reality in order to save the theory (and their funding?). Admission of error is not an option for these people.
So they spin to win. Contradictions be damned. Reality be damned.
The blizzard of February 2013 is causing all kinds of turmoil for the alarmists. They know that most people are not going to expect blizzards in a warming world. And now one appears in the winter after the warmest year in the US, evah! Climatedepot.com has collected a few spin examples some of which come from Tom Nelson.
Environment Canada's senior climatologist David Phillips: 'We know the future is warmer and with less snow
Don’t worry we know the future and there will be less snow. Climate models say so.
UN IPCC's Michael Oppenheimer: I know CO2 is overheating the planet if there''s enough snow to use my sled or if there''s not enough snow to use my sled
It doesn’t mattah what the weatha. CO2 did it and we are right. It’s physics, stupid.
Flashback 2010: Climate Depot's Morano on Fox News: 'There is no way anyone can falsify the global warming theory now because any weather event that happens 'proves' their case'
Some people have caught on to the nonsense.
Warmists spin: We just remembered CO2 has caused air to become 'super-saturated with water'! (But if we talk about drought 10 minutes from now, please forget whole 'super-saturated air' thing)
Spin to win. We are nevah wrong!
'The
reality is that such snowstorms often don't occur despite global
warming, but because of it' -- 'Michael Mann: 'It's basic physics, and
it's irrefutable.'
Michael, let’s bake some snow together.
Warmist Bill McKibben wants you to think you created blizzard! 'Scientists: Warmer, water-saturated air, breeds bigger storms. Happy shoveling, everyone!'
Also makes cold storms in a warming world. Warmer air makes colder snow. Got it. I am now a genius. My application to Mensa is in the mail. Would you be surprised to learn that snowy winters are colder?
Michael Mann: Blizzard is to Global Warming like a slam dunk is to a lower net
Digging in deeper, Michael. Clever analogy though.
Flashback: Top Democrats Warn Low Snow Levels Prove Global Warming (Video)
A few years ago when the science was settled that was the refrain. Now that the science has been resettled to match what Mother Nature is doing we have this nonsense.
Flashback 2010: NYT's Climate Astrology: 'Bundle Up, It's Global Warming' -- 'Overall warming of the atmosphere is actually creating cold-weather extremes'
Baking more snow. But what does the latest research say?
New paper finds warming causes less snow: Paper published in the Journal of Climate
Is this why Richard Feynman said: Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts.?
