With new data out of the earth’s significant cooling, at least one morning show picked it up, predictably "Fox and Friends." On the February 28 edition, co-host Brian Kilmeade noted that worldwide snow cover is the highest it has been in over forty years. Steve Doocy quoted a meteorologist in California who noted that the temperature has dropped by "a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the last 100 years" and "it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded up or down."
Alarmists argue that such a short term temperature change is insignificant compared to trends over the last century. However, they change their tune when temperatures are higher than normal for a day. After a few mild days in January 2007, "Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer questioned if global warming is the culprit. "Today" co-host Meredith Vieira went further wondering if we are "all gonna die."
The transcript is below.
STEVE DOOCY: Al Gore, this news for you. It is cold, not just in New York City, but, it’s interesting. Over the last day or so, all four major global temperature tracking outlets have released data showing that temperatures have dropped significantly over the last year. So while there’s all this hysteria about global warming. In fact, perhaps, we should be talking about global cooling.
AL GORE VOICE OVER: Is that necessary?
BRIAN KILMEADE: Yeah
DOOCY: Yeah.
KILMEADE: Snow is covering more of North America, and much more of Asia. It’s greater than any time since 1966. So it goes in the- it just flies in the face of a movie that got him an Emmy, and an Oscar, a Pulitzer, I don’t know what else-
GRETCHEN CARLSON: A Pulitzer?
DOOCY: A Tony?
KILMEADE: A Tony.
CARLSON: He’s taking his global warming to Broadway?
DOOCY: Something like that.
KILMEADE: Grammy.
DOOCY: I wonder who will play him. Anyway, there is one meteorologist out in California who says that the amount of cooling ranges from about .65 of a degree Centigrade, to .75 of a degree. I know that’s a little esoteric, but he says that’s a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the last 100 years. And says it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded up or down. And just to back it up, got a map right now. I’m just going to show you how cold it is in a portion of the United States of America. Look at the current wind chill. It feels like ten below right now in Rochester. It feels like seven in New York City, zero, zip in Pittsburgh.

Thank you for your efforts to entice us to change our habits and counter the terrible effects of the evil Americans and their military/industrial complex. Your light bulbs have erased 100 years of progress.

Where's the Goracle???
February 28, 2008 - 15:37 ET by BayshoremanWhere's the Goracle to help explain all this to us?? The oceans are rising with water and now the sky is falling with snow...what shall we do? If only the Goracle would come down from OZ and join hands with the Obomacle to give us HOPE and assure us that it is not too late for us to CHANGE our evil, ignorant ways. I'm just sooo scared...Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh my!!!

AlGore's disappearance...
February 28, 2008 - 23:22 ET by goldenthroatAlGore has gone into hibernation at his 10,000 square foot, energy guzzling home somewhere in the middle of the Volunteer State until this frigid weather blows over.
He and Nipper - ah, Dipper - is it Tripper? - probably have enough firewood from the Tennessee forests to keep them global warm and cozy until spring.
Doesn't the thought of that just give you a pain where a pill can't reach?

Show me any data that is charted for a period of time and a drop by 90% in 1/100th the time period and argue that it's not significant.

CO2 meter reading
February 28, 2008 - 17:45 ET by acadia1755I have asked Tim Ball to see if they could Install a CO2 meter inside the conference room in New York Next week.
In most crowded rooms the level reaches 2000 ppm or more if there are a lot of people even with reasonable ventilation.
A Meter showing CO2 at over 1000ppm would send a Shock wave around the Alarmist world. Hope they give it a try.
Mining regulations allow up to about 5000 ppm for up to 15 minutes but that is with safety margins. http://www.friendsofscience.org/

February 28, 2008 - 20:45 ET by danboI assume that if it gets to 2000 ppm they would cross the tipping point. And there would be a climate crises in the meeting room. With bad weather extremes. Maybe a tornado? A hurricane?

Wait a minute Guys...it's still has to be "reported"
February 28, 2008 - 20:42 ET by JayTeeThe MSM still has to cover this years severe Winter results...out of sight out of mind...especially in Bali.
Then there IS Summer coming up.....the MSM may lie in wait in the Snowmobile until the Temp hits 98 degrees on a warm June day, and pounce on the Global Warming bandwagon like Jan. 2008 didn't happen.
Maybe a Cold March will come into play.....especially if those Stupid Sunspots stay MIA for awhile.
A few degress Tilt in the Earths axis of rotation, away from the Sun...and we have WINTER........and NASA "Scientists" can't grasp the fundamentals of Solar mechanics. Al Gore I understand as being an Ignorant Peace Prize-Nik, but Mr. H. at NASA needs to lay low for awhile...
Yea, this cooling
February 28, 2008 - 21:43 ET by GregEYea, this cooling thing......NBC can't report it. After all, the mothership GE, creator of Green Week, has too much moola to make on warming.
erasure
February 28, 2008 - 23:36 ET by meteor79Just thought you all might be interested... One of the "sources" listed in this post discussing this recent cooling notes:
---------------------------------------
I wish to state for the record, that this statement is not mine: “–a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years”
There has been no “erasure”. This is an anomaly with a large
magnitude, and it coincides with other anecdotal weather evidence. It
is curious, it is unusual, it is large, it is unexpected, but it does
not “erase” anything. I suggested a correction to DailyTech and they
have graciously complied.
------------------------------------------
My thoughts exactly.... How does a large drop in temperature over a few months "erase" a long term trend? This makes no sense....
Easily Explainable
February 28, 2008 - 23:49 ET by SnappyGlobal warming..errr Climate Change is not an exact science, yes I know, the debate is over, but its not exact. The extremely hot years we have had since the siberian weather stations went offline have catapulted us up the temperature scale creating a "cold vacume" if you will in its wake, which has temporarily pulled the temperature down. This phenomena has been seen in the past and usually doesnt get much media coverage. It generally happens in the northern hemisphere between september and march, But putting all that aside, the one common theme with all this warming and now drastic cooling is the fact the George Bush is still president and as rightly so, we should simply lay all blame in that direction.
