The folks in North Dakota could certainly use some of that global warming right about now, for all through the state, sub-zero temperatures are breaking records.As reported by the Bismarck Tribune Thursday:

One of the cornerstones of climate alarmism is that global warming is causing stronger, more destructive tropical storms.If you don't believe me, just ask the Global Warmingist-in-Chief Al Gore.Well, on Thursday, the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration issued a press release that should make the Nobel Prize committee demand Gore immediately return his award and their money.As…

Be afraid, America! Be very afraid!No matter how many times people like Nobel Laureate Al Gore claim that global warming isn't political, nothing can be further from the truth.Take for example a bill in the California senate to require climate change be part of the science curricula in all public schools.As reported in Friday's San Jose Mercury (emphasis added throughout, h/t Marc Sheppard):

At least according to "Vagina Monologues" playwright Eve Ensler, and Jane Fonda. Apparently the Today show had not had enough of this dynamic duo earlier in the program, when the fabulously classy Miss Fonda used another word for "vagina" that begins with the letter "c". So they brought the pair back for the 10 o'clock hour, and America was again regaled with their brilliant and insightful…

Folks that question man's role in climate change are well aware of the fanaticism displayed by those preaching gloom and doom if we don't immediately stop burning fossil fuels. Non-believers like to refer to such people as warm-mongers. With this in mind, astrophysicist Dr. Sallie Baliunas gave a lecture about global warming at the University of Texas, Tyler, on Tuesday, deliciously equating…

On Tuesday, NewsBusters exposed the New York Times for using the death of a highly-regarded American scientist, Dr. Robert Jastrow, to advance global warming alarmism. In response to my e-mail message concerning the matter, Dr. Albert Arking, the former colleague of Jastrow's quoted in the piece, stated, "The NY Times article came out of a long conversation (initiated by the writer, John…

Shortly after New Years, NewsBusters informed readers about a new horror movie wherein nature attacks oil workers in Alaska to prevent global warming.To further scare people into sacrificing their financial well-being in order to stave off the liberal bogeyman, HuffPoster Kerry Trueman on Tuesday suggested that food shortages will be so rampant if we don't stop climate change that we'll all end…

Imagine yourself as a big time editor, and somebody brings you an article with the headline, "Cold Wave in India Attributed to Global Warming." Wouldn't you strongly suggest a rewrite?Well, no such sanity occurred at the Indian website Sify on Tuesday.Instead, that preposterous title actually did get published atop an article of equally absurd and hypocritical content (emphasis added):

If all the global warming alarmists are right, the world is about to come to an end because the planet's getting too darned hot.So, why is it so darned cold?As Johnny Carson would have expected from his audience, "How cold is it?" Well, as reported by the Capital Times, Madison, Wisconsin, has just broken an all-time record for the most snowfall in one year (emphasis added):

In today's cynical world, is nothing sacred?Is nothing deserving of respect or dignity? Even death? Apparently not at the New York Times, which actually took the occasion of the demise of a highly-regarded American scientist to advance global warming alarmism. Sadly, I kid you not. As reported Tuesday:

C'mon, everybody...for the sake of the planet, sing along with Daryl and Elmer:
