More Cold Weather Just Keeps Happening

The recent football bowl season offers an interesting, even significant, view of the nation’s weather, and of the falseness of global warming, if you will. Bowl games historically are played in warmer climes, and the thinking is that for those teams who have successful seasons, even in typically cold climes, they can be rewarded by playing in a bowl game, in a warmer climate. But this year, the weather in the host cities has not cooperated.

Bowl games are scattered all across the American landscape, from San Francisco to D.C., and from Houston to Detroit. But the majority of the bowls are scattered across the southern, more comfortable climes.

So how was the bowl weather this year? The Florida bowls, St Petersburg, Champs (Orlando), Capitol One (Orlando), and Outback (Tampa) bowls all experienced way below normal temperatures. And the Orange Bowl in Miami? it's the coldest Orange Bowl ever. The Las Vegas bowl was awful, freezing and windy. The Emerald Bowl in SF was the coldest in years. The Eagle Bank Bowl in D.C. was terribly cold, and near a record low temperature. New Orleans was below normal, as was Charlotte, NC, Nashville, Shreveport and Memphis. Fort Worth was way below normal, as was Atlanta, Georgia. Even New Orleans and San Antonio were “chilly,” and atypically below normal.

San Diego was nice, and normal, as was Los Angeles, but just about every other bowl hosting city was below normal, and many were at near record low temperatures. Games were spread out over a three week period, so it’s not like it was a one day cold event. And it wasn’t just bowl cities that suffered this cold.

Salt Lake City experienced the coldest December in nineteen years. Most of the west experienced a below normal December. One would think, in an era of global warming, that we would be seeing record warm temperatures, or relative heat waves at the bowl games, at least in cities that are typically warm during this time of year. But record lows should not be occurring, this contradicts the very foundation of the AGW crowd, namely that the planet is warming; in fact, it is cooling, throwing into question the entire CO2 premise.

On January 3, 2010, International Falls, Minnesota recorded its coldest temperature since 1979. Sioux Falls, S.D. also saw record cold temperatures on January 2nd, when temperatures hit 30 below zero, the coldest temperature since 1974.

Burlington, VT received 32 inches of snow the weekend following New Year’s Day, the heaviest snowfall ever recorded there, in 120 years of records. And freeze warnings have been issued for the entire state of Florida. Freeze warnings for Florida are rare but not unheard of. But freezing temperatures as far south as Miami is unheard of. Forecasts for the entire east coast call for even colder temperatures later this week (January 4, 2010).

So not only did Copenhagen, Denmark experience its coldest temperatures in decades during the U.N. climate change conference, the entire college football bowl season is bathed in the coldest weather in years. Where is all the warming? Where is it? Yes, global warming is real, it just keeps getting colder and colder. 2007 saw record lows recorded all over South America, and this year, record lows are being recorded across North America. At some point the global warming religious faithful are going to have to admit their scam and deception is a fraud, and give it up.
At some point, the environmentalists and politically correct weather scientists, politically correct politicians, and politically correct media, will have to admit to the fraud that global warming is, and give up the deceit.
