Global Warming

JK alluded to this effect in last week's post.

    Yet again, frozen Canadians weather-cultists risk hypothermia to complain about global warming:

      The weather may belie their message but devoted fans of the outdoor hockey rink plan to brave Alberta’s arctic-like weather as part of a statement against global warming ...

      Michael Kalmanovitch, organizer of the event in Edmonton, says the skate will go ahead in Edmonton despite the -23 C temperature. He admits the cold snap is a touch ironic but stressed the above average temperatures that have dominated the winter thus far.

    This phenomenon has been observed once or twice previously.


Just a reminder. It's not global warming. It's climate change.

This proves their ability to disregard empirical evidence in favor of near-religious beliefs.

Near? I would say it goes to full-on religion.

Witness what they did to the heretic that wrote "Skeptical Environmentalist"... he was a believer. But Mr Lomberg went against the litany and is now reviled.

If burning a tire with a man inside it wasn't so damaging to the environment, Bjorn Lomberg would have been in one.
