QUESTION: IS THIS A PICTURE OF HELL FREEZING-OVER?AL ARABIYA:
For the first time in the desert country's history, snow blanketed the peak of Jais Mountain in the northern United Arab Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah Sunday.VIDEO OF THE SNOW HERE.
So rare was the snowfall that a lifelong resident of the area said the local dialect does not even have a word for 'snow,' the UAE daily The National reported.
" The sight up there this morning was totally unbelievable, with the snow-capped mountain and the entire area covered with fresh, dazzling white snow "
“Twenty years ago we had lots of hail [but] last night was like this. At four in the morning we came out and the ground was white,” the paper quoted lifelong resident of the area Aisha al Hebsy, 50, as saying.
Sunday's snowfall was only the second time in recorded history that it has snowed in the emirate, with temperatures dropping two degrees below zero as 20 cm (eight inches) of snow accumulated in some places.
IF MAN-MADE CO2 CAUSED GLOBAL-WARMING - AND SINCE MAN-MADE CO2 HAS INCREASED STEADILY EVERY YEAR SINCE 1840 - THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.
BUT IT IS.
IT PROVES THAT AGW = BS.
MORE HERE.
It still is the 11th warmest January there since 1998 when global warming was confirmed.
ReplyDeleteCO2 IS WAY UP SINCE 1998, BUT TEMPS ARE NOT UP SINCE 1998.
ReplyDeleteSO C02 CANNOT BE A MAJOR CULPRIT.
Pay more in taxes to the government, so government scientists can fake the data, and pretend to control the weather. The perfect scam. No one has ever deciphered how the magic tax beans fix the weather.
ReplyDeleteWe are soon going to find out how dumb is an Obama voter.
The only bullshit I hear is what's coming out of your mouth. One rare, localized weather event doesn't mean a thing with regard to global warming. Global warming is a long-term trend. Look at the planet's average annual temperature trendline and you'll see that one freak snowstorm is meaningless with regards to global warming.
ReplyDeleteRead very slowly...
ReplyDeleteIt... still... is... the... 11th... warmest... January... there... since... 1998....
Ahem!
As for the planet's long term upward trend...
1. where did the data come from for the entire planet?
2. why is 1880 the starting point for arguing that warming has occurred?
For the answers, you can look at my site tomorrow and be amazed.
;-}
sorry john, i forgot gore's golden rule:
ReplyDeletecold is weather
hot is climate.
sorry.
btw: the hockey stick was faked.
and co2 is benign.

ReplyDeleteI realize it's difficult for some to grasp, but increased warming means increase precipitation. Changing warming trends means changing weather patterns.
ReplyDeleteIf it was as simple as snow=cold planet, it might be a simple enough concept for people like you to actually grasp without screaming "bullshit" as your primary argument.
