Pelosi Talks Global Warming in Germany as Late-May Snows Rock the Region

May 30th, 2007 10:42 AM

This is really getting hysterical. As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) tours Europe to discuss the imminent doom to the planet at the hands of the left’s recent bogeyman anthropogenic global warming, late-May snows are falling all around her.

Honestly, folks, you can’t make this stuff up.

As she set out on her journey, such late-season white stuff hit parts of America, Canada, and Great Britain as reported by NewsBusters Tuesday.

Even better, as she met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, a late-season snowstorm rocked Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, and Italy.

As reported by England’s Daily Mail (hilarious emphasis added throughout):

Freak snow, freezing temperatures and tropical storms across Europe are making the Bank Holiday washout here look almost pleasant.

In Spitzing in Germany, locals have been forced to wrap up after ten centimetres of snow brought out the snowploughs for the first time this year.

                                                                   

It was the same story in towns close to the Alps in Austria, Switzerland and even northern Italy where temperatures in May routinely climb into the 80s.

In one Swiss valley, 3,000 were trapped in hotels and guest houses because trains could not reach them in the snow.

Of course, all this was happening just after Speaker Pelosi claimed to have seen “firsthand evidence that climate change is a reality" in Greenland.

I guess she had her eyes closed to all the snow falling around her.

Would one call this ignorance, blindness, or some unfortunate mixture thereof?

Regardless of the answer, right-thinking people all over the world are hoping that snow falls wherever the Speaker travels on this trip.
