The network meteorologists barely had time to come up for air while forecasting the latest snowstorm non-disaster. Politicians fearing what might happen to their approval numbers if a blizzard hit went on TV to announce they were taking proactive measures. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio shut down tunnels bridges even the subway to prepare for the worst. Governors Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie announced road closings in New York and New Jersey.
When wide-scale devastation failed to materialize though New England was hardest hit those same forecasters explained that snow is unpredictable and began backtracking faster than a four-wheel drive pickup on an icy road.
One year ago on January 31 we were treated to another of these Snowmageddon scenarios. At the time USA Today quoted Gary Szatkowski a meteorologist at the National Weather Service as saying: Its a little surprising that people are falling for this.
Im not surprised. People are gullible. Look at our politicians.
Heres some breaking news: Its January and in many parts of America it snows; sometimes a lot. When I was a kid I got my sled and together with other kids celebrating the snow day took to the hills. We threw snowballs and came home soaked and exhausted. Mother would hang my wet clothes on a radiator to dry.
Today politicians and their ideological fellow travelers in the media use the normal cycles of the seasons to promote climate change. That was the conclusion of Bill Nye of MSNBC who said I just want to introduce the idea that this storm is connected to climate change. Gov. Andrew Cuomo made the same assertion.
For those not buying into the cult of climate change formerly known as global warming the website climatedepot.com is an excellent source for authoritative science and reporting that debunks the claims of climate alarmists.
Recently we heard assertions from some reliable people that 2014 was the hottest year on record. News anchors and reporters dutifully and without their usual skepticism conveyed the news as fact. The Associated Press reported that 2014 was the hottest year citing NOAA and NASA data but was later forced to clarify its story conceding that it ...did not include the caveat that other recent years had average temperatures that were almost as high -- and they all fall within a margin of error that lessens the certainty that any one of the years was the hottest. NOAA and NASA also quietly had to concede that 2014 was probably not the warmest year but I would venture to guess that very few people noticed the update.
