Snow!!!!!

Ran across this little tidbit a couple of days ago. http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/0112/Snow-now-in-49-states?cmpid=addthis_email&sms_ss=email&at_xt=4d2e2314335ac10b%2C0
Okay now I have two predictions. The anti-global warming people will say "see, that is proof that there is no global warming. Uh, no it is not. It may just be an anomaly as we go on the path towards warming. The pro-global warming people can say "hey it is climate change we are worried about and this represents that." But that is the case of having a flexible hypothesis that you change just to match the data. It does not give me much confidence in the theory of global warming.
So how does trouble-maker feel about global warming. Don't know. To much politics is being played with the science surrounding this issue for trouble-maker to have a firm opinion. Sad really. I would like to have a strong opinion on such an important issue. But as long as it is obvious that people are putting their political opinion in front of scientific inquiry, I retain the right to be skeptical.

Sincerely,

Trouble-maker
