“I don’t think it’s too much to ask to see a super hurricane destroying the Southeast U.S. and another one at the same time decimating the Pacific Northwest before I make up my mind about this,” said global warming skeptic Michelle Wilkinson of Medina, MN, adding that she would be willing to recognize the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change if repeated and unpredictable storm surge flooding rendered every major East Coast city, including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., wholly uninhabitable. “The fact of the matter is that if I walk outside at any time of day at any point in the year and it’s below 90 degrees, then there simply isn’t enough proof that we need to be cutting carbon emissions.”
After clarifying that the desertification of major population centers, and the global refugee crisis that would result, would be necessary but not sufficient evidence of climate change, the skeptics reportedly unveiled a vivid artist’s rendering of the vast expanse of parched, lifeless earth and dead trees that each of them must see through the windows of their homes before reversing their opposition to public schools teaching children about global warming.
“We keep hearing all this mumbo-jumbo about the sixth mass extinction we’re in the midst of,” said Mitch McConnell, a U.S. senator from Kentucky, at the conclusion of the press conference. “Well, if that’s the case, then tell me this: Why aren’t the streets littered with human bodies right now, with the ragged bands of the still-living siphoning the moisture from the corpses of the dead?”
“We’re not unreasonable; we just need the evidence to be convincing before we make a decision,” McConnell added.

These people don't understand the analogy with preventive medicine. I wonder if that woman goes to have mammograms and pap smear tests at regular intervals? Maybe, just maybe, she will understand that just like cancer, if you wait until the signs are clear that you have it - STAGE 4- that you are already in a coffin. At 2 degrees Celsius MGT+, which is what she wants to see as "proof", the Earth is in the equivalent of stage 4 cancer.
But look,she is too fucking stupid to reason.

I'm still hoping this is a bad SNL skit.

“The reality is that we’re still experiencing cold, snowy winters, and the entire global population is not currently embarking on cross-continental migrations in search of arable land,” Davis continued. “Until that changes, we cannot be expected to believe climate change is occurring.”
Davis went on to say that certain events, such as massive, uncontrollable wildfires across the U.S—not just restricted to the American West, but in areas including Florida and New England—would render climate change deniers open to reevaluating the decades’ worth of data that show the planet is warming at a catastrophic rate. Additionally, Davis said that for the community to begin believing a single word of any scientific journal article corroborating climate change, every one of Earth’s glaciers would have to retreat at a rate exceeding 20 miles per year, and each of the skeptics, individually, would have to go a decade without seeing naturally occurring ice anywhere.
Furthermore, climate change deniers maintained that if the total number of plant and animal species on the planet remained higher than 200 in aggregate, they would not be dissuaded from their belief that Earth is simply experiencing one of its natural warming cycles that would eventually resolve itself on its own.

Those idiots probably also believe that Antarctica isn't decreasing in ice mass. oh...wait.......more from the article .......

The amazing thing is that everyone is not sure if this is satire or not. That's how nuts the deniers are.
Gotcha!!! lol

Hey... all we ask is that one of you agw nutter bozos produce peer reviewed science that man made co2 is causing warming.
Nitro this is up your alley. Using the best statistical tool you have... why don't you look at the temperature data... and tell us we are warming outside of natural variation. Please use the adjusted and pre adjustment data sets. Seriously put your trading background to good use.
in your paper, review the tools available... then tell us how you did your analysis.
You will find using modern tools we are not even warming outside natural variation.
Till then this is all political bullshit.

This season's El Nino is the strongest ever, says key metric
"Not long after the United Nations announced this year's El Nino could become one of the "worst ever," one key metric is showing just that.
Data from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that water in the Central Pacific Ocean reached 3.1 degrees Celsius above its average on November 18 — significantly higher than the record temperature observed during the 1997-1998 El Nino, according to an article in the New Scientist...."

Good! It will mean a mild winter in North America. The last two winters were biatches.
