Can Hypothermia Cause Moonbattery?
Yesterday people suffered from record cold across much of the USA. The temperature reached an all-time low of 45 below zero at West Yellowstone, MT. Hohnholz Ranch, CO made 37 below. Other record lows included 28 below at Drummond, MT; 26 below at Seeley Lake, MT; 25 below at Laramie, WY; 17 below at Alliance, NE; and 19 below at Cedar Rapids, IA.
Breitbart reports:
The body of a homeless man was found huddled next to a fence in Denver, where the temperature hit 11 below Wednesday, and authorities were trying to determine if he froze to death. He apparently had shed his jacket in a phenomenon called "paradoxical undressing," where victims of hypothermia become disoriented and hallucinate, deputy coroner Amy Martin said.
Perhaps disorientation caused by hypothermia can explain the behavior of Al Gore, who spent the icy day preaching at Stanford's Memorial Auditorium about the on-rushing doom of global warming.
"It is relentless,'' Gore intoned. "It is continuing.''
This same impeccable sense of timing was on display on January 14, 2004, when Gore rode his global warming hobbyhorse at Manhattan's Beacon Theater on a day that, according to news reports, "temperatures in many northeastern cities were colder than Mars."
Also in the news yesterday, Eskimos are suing the USA for allegedly melting their ice.

By the way, this morning, in the Greater DC area, 18 degrees ( -7 Celsius for the lefties) ... with a forecast for 3-5 inches of snow.
Global Warming is the Snake Oil of the modern era. Any year-to-year variation in temperature is now passed off as 'Climate Change,'... as though climate was static and every day's weather was supposed to be exactly the same as the weather on the corresponding day the prior year... forever!
Basically, this creates a cottage industry (and generous government funding) for 'climatologists' who graduate with degrees in meteorology and climatology and discover they aren't good-looking enough to do the weather on Channel 8.
Similarly, it enables groups like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club to shake down dumb rich liberals, companies, and governments for enough money to ensure that their activists don't have to find real jobs.

V the K: You nailed it. It's a business.

According to any reputable (I use that term fairly loosely) global warming expert, the first noticable sign of global warming is milder winters. Hmm...

Gore sez:
"It is relentless,... It is continuing.''
The same could be said of Gore himself. Please, make it stop.
We do have so much to thank him for, though - not the least of which is a potential serious breach in our "the best defense is a good offense" capabilities as regards Iran.
