Actual New York Times Article entitled "The end of snow?"

[gwb-trading]

Hey dickhead. How many times do I have tell you? Salby is an idiot. Why do you refer to idiots for your arguments all the time?

Why should I pay attention to a fool like Salby?

Only a deceiving lying shithead like you would continue to quote him.

The models have not failed and they are always being revised. The earth has not stopped warming at all.

Do you know what a greenhouse gas is yet?

Are all the Doctors leading climate departments at top scientific universities in the U.S. like MIT and Georgia Tech also fools? Note that they all have directly stated that AGW does not exist. I guess that you will just label them "deniers" and state their careful factual research does not matter & should not be quoted.

P.S. - All of your climate models have failed. If all 73 of your models for trading failed to provide alignment with the market then you would be deemed a complete failure - as well as blowing up your account.

Yet more indisputable evidence that drugs and stupidity don't mix.

The deniers are part of the three percent. If you want to believe in the three percent opinion go right ahead. It's what I would expect a total moron like you to do.

We got four inches of snow last night here in northern Atlanta. On top of the ice and snow we got yesterday. Damn global warming.

You keep acting like the messenger matters...
Its the message that matters.. the data.
I have not seen single agw nutter highly paid scientists deny

a. the models were far more co2 sensitive then reality
b. that accumulation or dissipation of CO2 trails changes in Ocean temperature.

finally...

your critique (below) makes no sense -- the author is making distinctions without any sort of important difference.

Salby's carbon cycle confusion
Professor Salby refers to a number of graphs in his talk, but I have been unable to track down copies of these, therefore we'll have to rely on what I'm able to glean from the podcast, and given it's length, I'll only address some of the more obvious mistakes. At the beginning of the talk Salby states:

"current CO2 values are 380pmmv"(parts per million by volume)

Not an encouraging start that he cites the atmospheric CO2 concentration as it was in 2005, rather than the 393 parts per million by volume (ppmv) it currently is in 2011. Not a fatal flaw of course, but not encouraging either.

"Net annual emission has an average increase of about 1.5ppmv per year. We're on the right planet. That's the annual average increase you just saw. But it varies between years, dramatically by over 100%. From nearly zero in some years to 3ppmv in others. Net global emission of CO2 changes independently of of the human contribution"

At this point the accentuation and drama in Salby's voice make it sound as though he has stumbled onto something momentous, something no one else has noticed before. On the face of it, it seems preposterous that the army of scientists that have worked on carbon cycling over the years could have missed something so glaringly obvious. No, of course they haven't.

As discussed in the first paragraph of this post (and evident in Figure 1), the natural flux of CO2 in and out of natural systems varies from year-to-year. This flux is 20-30 times larger than the annual contribution by humans, but this balances out in the long-term. This variability is driven largely by El Nino and La Nina in the tropical Pacific, which shifts rainfall patterns over much of the world and is associated with warming and cooling of equatorial waters in the Pacific. The change in seawater temperature, and episodic upwelling of carbon-rich deep water, significantly affects the uptake and outgassing of CO2 from the oceans, and of course rainfall variation greatly affects plant growth.

The upshot is that land vegetation takes up more CO2 during La Nina, and expels more CO2 during El Nino. In the ocean, the opposite trend occurs - El Nino leads to more CO2 absorption, and La Nina is when the oceans give up more CO2

Where's the snow? On the ground in 49 of 50 states

Snow is on the ground in 49 out of the 50 states — only the Sunshine State of Florida is completely snow-free, according to a map produced Thursday morning by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

(This doesn't mean that those 49 states are snow-covered, of course, only that some part of each state has snow.)

Although this map doesn't show it, there is snow in Hawaii, where webcams are showing snow on the high peaks of the mountain volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.

HAWAII SNOW: Webcam from peak of volcano

The map also doesn't include Alaska, but it's a given that most of that state is snow-covered this time of year. A quick check with the National Weather Service forecast office in Fairbanks found 19 inches of snow on the ground there.

There doesn't appear to be much snow on the ground in Texas or Louisiana, and with the forecast of mild temperatures, it doesn't figure to last much longer there, if it even makes it through the day Thursday.

The map shows how sparse the snow is in parts of the West, as only small parts of Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico are showing snow because of the ongoing drought and warmth.

Holy shit, snow at high altitude, too!?

Maybe you should tell that to theNew York Times GW alsrmist dickweed who says we are witnessing the end of snow.

Maybe you should grow up and not take literally a title designed to act as a hook.
