Global Warming In Action: Winter Storms Wreak Havok Across Country

Although global warming cultists predicted over 20 years ago that snow would soon be a thing of the past, those of us living in the real world are still living with it--and in spades the past several days.

    An Artic freeze encased Michigan's historic lighthouses in ice after extreme temperatures lest seven dead and over 5,000 flights cancelled and delayed.

    Mesmerizing images of the lighthouses on the shores of Lake Michigan in Barrien County emerged on Tuesday as brutal weather brought record-low temperatures across much of the nation, with snow and freezing rain present from the South to the Northeast, with over 140million under wind chill advisories or warnings.

    New York City had its first significant snowfall in two years on Monday night, and it's only going to get colder on Tuesday, posing a threat to airlines and power grids, according to forecasts.

    New York's LaGuardia airport saw the most disruptions on Tuesday, with 14 percent of its flight cancelled and 57 percent delayed. Houston's Bush International and DC's Reagan National airport have also seen significant disruptions.  

    Wind chills could push the temperature below minus 30 in the South and into the Mississippi Valley, with nearly 80 percent of the country experiencing below-freezing temperatures over the next week. 

    More than 120,000 U.S. homes and businesses were without power early Tuesday, most of them in Oregon, Texas and Louisiana, after widespread outages that started Saturday.

  1. Saw an infographic that said that winter storms were the result of global warming. Yes.

    1. So now the idea is that instead of there being no winter, winters will be worse because the poles are heating and that is forcing the polar vortexes from the poles and into lower latitudes. Apparently carbon dioxide is attracted to the polar regions? The only likely explanation I've heard for the poles heating is because the strength of Earth's magnetic field has so dramatically weakened that more cosmic rays are getting through AT THE POLES and causing the heating. Nothing to do with Al Gore's fleet of SUVs and private aircraft.
