Super Stupid

Digby observed:

The Wall Street guys on the Fox News money shows are saying that global warming is bunk because we’re having record cold weather. And we wonder why the financial system imploded.

Yeah but in their defense, the spazzy white guys in lower Manhattan (SWGILM) can’t sit still long enough to learn anything — their hyper-spasmodic pee-pee dance of insanity won’t allow it. But if they could sit still for a minute, we could show them a chart illustrating how global temperatures are rising.

Now sure, the SWGILM might think that “global” means “lower Manhattan in December” but it doesn’t. “Global” means the whole globe and not all areas of the globe have the exact same weather as lower Manhattan. That would be — what’s the word? — effing impossible!

    climate change means that we’re moving the world climate out of balance. That means more extreme weather. That means colder winters and hotter summers. In short,Coldest recorded winter = climate change.

    Well, I wonder if the SWGILM are flipping out today and predicting catastrophy for the planet since it’s 60°FF (Fucking Farenheit) today in New York City.

    Continuing the thought: They should probably stick to something they’re supposed to know about, but apparently don’t, instead of speculating on something they know nothing about but repeat the same ol’ GOP bullshit.

    If you’re reading this theo, I nominate “hyper-spasmodic pee-pee dance of insanity” to the GDAB quote hall of fame. It’s just so fittingly visual…

    Someone called it “Global Weirding” which I think is so much better. Can we get a dow jones symbol for weather? I am sure we can speculate on that and the spazzy white guys with enlarged prostates can gamble on it.

    I don’t think this is record cold weather. I remember a December not that long ago where I went thru $700 worth of heating oil.wonder how they’ll feel when the subways in lower Manhattan start flooding…

    It the Detroit Lions win during Sunday the Fox News morons will say that they are a great team. “What was all that nonsense about their long term record?”

    Warmer air holds more moisture. It also means no ice on the Great Lakes. That combination creates record snow falls in Chicago.Yes, the world gets hotter and it snows.Thing is, none of this is rocket science — it’s what we’re supposed to have learned in 8th grade Earth science class. Arguing with a denier is useless because they don’t respond to evidence.

    I think we had a similar discussion last year when Hannity, I think it was, tried to use snow on Christmas in Denver as proof that there was no warming because it was the first Christmas snow in many years.It’s pretty pleasant today, but earlier last week was miserably cold. My hometown is a nice wintery 80 degrees today, also. The weather has gone wacko.It may be unusually cold and stormy in some places, but I don’t think the polar ice caps & half the world’s glaciers would be almost gone if things were getting generally colder. Ice melting a lot is usually a sign of warmer, right?

    Remember kids, God gave us the earth to do to it as we wish. By we I mean big business and as we wish I mean clear cutting, burning, drill baby drilling, and killing every living species on this rock to include humans for profit. I say again, Manifest Destiny.
