Yes, They Really Do Expect You to Believe That Cold Weather Is Caused by Global Warming

Large parts of the country have been in the grip of a brutal cold snap. Like all weather, it was caused by anthropogenic global warming. Just ask Al Gore, whose snake oil is still for sale:

Michael Mann is among the skeeviest of the pseudoscientists paid with your tax dollar to prop up the global warming hoax with lies. He is the creator of the infamously bogus hockey stick graph, which pretends that the Medieval Warming Period didn’t happen. Fudging temperature data to support the phony graph entailed the need to “hide the decline,” as revealed in emails leaked during Climategate. The fraudster Mann was finally investigated by his own Penn State University, which unsurprisingly — considering the many $millions he brings to the school through federal grants — whitewashed him to innocence. Those who remain unconvinced, Mann intimidates with lawsuits. If the corruption of science has a face, it is Michael Mann’s.

Or maybe Gore and Mann are on the level, in which case you had better bundle up. There will be plenty more cold weather on the way unless we end global warming by retarding the economy with massive energy taxes, draconian regulation, and international wealth redistribution.
