Stunning Photos Of Record Snow Covering Upstate New York: 100 Total Inches Of Snow Expected
As previously reported, the anticipated Polar Vortex 2.0 has struck, pushing temperatures in all 50 states to below freezing, while heavy snow prompted a state of emergency in western New York and contributed to the deaths of four people. According to Reuters, it was the coldest November morning across the country since 1976, according to Weather Bell Analytics, a meteorologist consulting firm. It remains to be seen how many GDP percentage points were wiped out as a result, unless of course, this time it will be different from last winter. Typically, such cold is not seen until late December through February.
But it was the situation in upstate New York, especially around Buffalo and parts of Erie County, where things got most dire and where 60 inches (1.5 m) of snow accumulated, with more falling, said Steven Welch of the National Weather Service near Buffalo. Snow fell at a rate of up to five inches (13 cm) an hour and some areas approached the U.S. record for 24-hour snowfall totals of 76 inches, or over 6 feet, the NWS said.
The record cumulative snowfall through Wednesday is shown in the image below:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for 10 counties. National Guard troops were deployed to help residents cope with the storm.
The good news, according to CBS, is that the Tuesday storm is fading away: deputy Erie County Executive Rich Tobe told reporters Wednesday morning that the storm had begun to move toward Buffalo's northern suburbs, and was expected to leave 2-5 more inches of snow in its wake. But he said the break would be short-lived for the hard-hit southern Buffalo suburbs, where forecasters were calling for more snow on Thursday, as much as three feet more, for a total of up to 100 inches over four days - a year's worth for the region. Still, there should be an 18 hour window to clear roads, he said.
And then it is all set to flip again, with the current freezing period expected to be followed by a "dramatic warming trend this weekend," raising the possibility of flooding from melting snow.
One of the main culprits for the heavy snow accumulation was the so called "lake-effect" which created a stark divide: In downtown Buffalo and north of the city, there was a mere dusting of precipitation, while in parts south, snow was everywhere. The snow band that brought the snow was very much evident throughout the day as gray clouds persistently hovered over the southern part of the city. The band was so apparent that the wall of snow could be seen from a mile away.
A dramatic time-lapse of the snow-wall can be seen in the video below:
But nothing compares to the photos on the ground as shocked residents woke up to find themselves literally burried under 6 or more feet of snow. Here is a sample of what they saw on Tuesday morning courtesy of Albany Meteorologist Greg Pollak:

Talk about get to work.
Been there and done that. Fucking exhausting.
Doublespeak:
since now global warming(or worming?) is here there are no more winters anymore, but since its fucking freezing outside now we have Polar Vortices.
If we only would have had a global tax.....this tragedy could have been averted.
All the americans in upstate new York will only be wondering if the bills game will be snowed out this Sunday
yet another Bible prediction becoming true ... did you the rains in Europe? coming closer and closer...
"lake effect" is a misleading term suggesting that somehow the lake increases the amount of snow
this is simply not true
snow is a natural, organically-formed material that moves through the planet's hydrological cycle of liquidity
the lake, at most, provides a small stimulus to this already existing and natural process

The Science is settled, we were fucking wrong, but the noble lie matters more. Besides I needed the billions after getting screwed out of the Presidency
(comments allegedly made by an obnoxious drunk fat white guy in a massage parlour trying to get his 3rd chakra released)
The science IS settled. And this polar vortex events are nothing but a proof of its validity. Meanwhile, the southern hemisphere burns. Get your head out of your ass.
I thought it was hot in the southern hemisphere because it was summer down there.
Anthropogenic global warming died a horrible death of conspiratorial email scandals and faked data. "Climate change" is the nonsense word retreat into tautological tail-eating bullshit, that true believers have turned to in hopeless desperation.
Tut tut, Global Warming is a faith based religion, blasphemer.
Do you really think you can employ facts and logic against the blind faith of a primate?
If science is faith based religion, then I don't want to imagine what science denialism is... sheer stupidity?
Deny this!

ActungAffen, during my miserable years as a grad student, I was told directly that to receive a grant, I need to understand the underlying beliefs and philosophy undergirding the approval board. After having my initial proposal rejected, I was bluntly told by my advisor that "all science is political" and to get 'real' if I wish to receive a grant. Fortunately, I left and managed to earn a decent living elsewhere.
There are far better versed ZH members than I who can argue the case for or against AGW, Climate Change, Climate wierding, or whatever is the latest branding for a psuedo scientific dogma. I leave it to them to take up cudgels and argue the case. All I know is that when Fat Al announced that the science was settled, and anyone who disagreed was a denier, then I knew we were no longer arguing science, but dogma grounded in a belief system. My view was confirmed when was clear that the proponents of AGW wanted to make my money, their money, via a carbon credit theft system heavily promoted by JPM, GS and the rest of the bankster cabal.
AchingAffen
What is your definition of science?
System of knowledge obtained and tested through the scientific method
That definition seems to depart SHARPLY from the bull shit you're claiming is science.
If you disagree, I'll be happy to entertain where the scientific method was used in your pseudo science. be specific. You may not cite NOAA, NASA or east anglia. You know, fabricated data and all...
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2014/06/23/global-warming-fabricated-by-nasa-and-noaa/
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/10916086/The-scandal-of-fiddled-global-warming-data.html
Breitbart: not science
NASA: science
You may as well be quoting cotton-candy-green-cheese-moon.com as your citation. Dismissed.
So 16 years of testing the premise of AGW has falsified it?
scientific method
n.
The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and a conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/scientific+method
It's inconceivable to AchtungWaffen and all like him that their post-graduate pseudo-intellectual prognostication seems like anything LESS than that to a truth-seeking audience of critical thinkers who are already well aware of the "global warming" bogeyman in its broader, manipulated, formulaic, technocratic context as nothing more or less than ENVIRONMENTAL AL QAEDA, part of the latest elite drive for totalitarian social control known as Agenda 21.
You might as well ask the most devout cultist to renounce their religion: it was designed with that in mind.
To these people, and their globalist puppeteers, only one thing remains to be said, whenever and wherever they pop up, again and again and again: FUCK OFF.
So far zero people on earth - including yourself - have falsified AGW. Zero. Still waiting
Nature has.
A model or hypothesis can never by "settled" or proven, it can only be falsified. Only models which can be falsified are scientific. So, if, for example, your model predicts an increased in retained heat and thus a rise in temperature, T, with carbon Dixoxide, CO2, but you observe 18 straight years with no increase in T while CO2 increases by more than 10% you have falsified any model which predicts CO2 controls the T of the lower troposphere. You conclude, using the the scientific method that other factors, such as the hydrological cycle and clouds which you have omitted from you model, must be controlling the T in a complex, non-linear chaotic system. Indeed, this is just what happens in real planetary climates. Its unpredictible and uncontrollable. Thus, anathema to control freak statists and banksters everywhere.
Well said: "Its unpredictible and uncontrollable. Thus, anathema to control freak statists and banksters everywhere."
By defending it, its proponents reveal that they are the worst among us.
The latest term is climate discombobulation. You're welcome
So your idea for debunking peer reviewed work following the scientific method is your belief that science is political and thus doesn't follow the scientific method. That the grant system is always flawed and that all scientists supporting the AGW research are grant hungry political militants. That AGW science is JPM/GS's invention to extract more money from you and it's all Al Gore's fault. BRILLIANT! You could make a grant out of that too... with the Cock Bros that is...
AGW is only about one group forcing their beliefs on others to gain control.
Which is a large part of human history.
AchtungWaffen doesn't seem the type to have studied much history. He seems young and trusting. It's like trying to talk with a mainstream investor about the money system. You might as well talk to a wall.
There is no belief. It's directly measurable by machinery and machines have no faith.
Are you really that naive, or just being tongue-in-cheek?
Who operates the machines? How is this different than the scandals involving voting machines?
If there is a system that can be hijacked and manipulated to serve ulterior motives, some scumbag is going to do it (usually through proxies).
Hacking Democracy
Are YOU that naive? You want another machine aka thermometer you can go place one any time you feel like it.
In this era it's not hard to get one that actually reports the temperature back via radio. Hell, there's prepper gardeners that do that for remote monitoring. Not much harder than this - power, antenna, maybe dedicated small portable computer of some sort to gather a few data points in a larger area - and yer done.
Come on.... really? REALLY?
Like measuring temperature is a super-secret technology NO one else can or will do? Really?
Weak sauce.
One word: PLACEMENT (e.g., near heat sources).
You need to catch up on some of the latest climategates.
The FIX is IN.
least ways, yo' be safe wif t&a...
No offense, but repeatdly shreiking that you are the only person concerned about science in the middle of a scentific discussion is insulting and makes you look like an idiot.
All we can do is rely upon logic. The ball has been in the Global Warming advocate's court for some time now and they keep changing their facts, and coming up wrong, again, and again, and again. That happens when you start your science with an assumption based on faith.
1. Climate Change is the Earth's norm, that's not even open for debate.
2. What isn't settled is if the Earth is warming.
3. Or if it is warming, is it, on balance, a bad thing?
4. What isn't settled is if man is a factor, let alone the primary cause.
5. What isn't available is a reliable model of how fast it will progress.
6. Finally, what isn't even likely, in fact, it's laughable, is the assertion that it is irreversible, and that's the real issue, because if it's reversible, then who gives a care? We've got a dozen other more threatening issues to deal with before this even becomes a shadow of a problem.
Why WOULD global warming be irreversible? Because of a THEORY proposed decades ago by the very people who have been WRONG for decades? Where's the science and logic in that? If a supervolcano or extinction level meteor doesn't produce a runaway greenhouse gas effect, events which pump MASSIVE amounts of carbon into the atmostphere, amounts which dwarf all the carbon EVER produced by man, then why would the earth not adjust to the paltry amounts we produce now?
The bottom line is the greenhouse gas theory is a religion to the global warming crowd, and a cash cow to their leaders. THEY have to back up their irreversible greenhouse gas theory with something other than scare tactics and name calling or global warming is no more threatening than any other kind of pollution. At this point, they haven't even made the case that this ubiquitous, naturally occurring gas IS a pollutant.
Global warming deniers, here and everywhere and that means you, are not having a scientific discussion. Literally your cult of global cooling / anti-warming has presented zero science.
No true scientist would EVER say "the science is settled'. What you are saying is, "Don't you dare challenge me". Newtonian physics were not only mathematically and scientifically proven for over 300 YEARS, but reproducible and consistent with every known method of observation until Einstein came along. You might as well shriek from the mountains, "Don't challenge my religion", fuck head.
I could decimate this idiotic assumtion of yours, but I am assuming you have frost bite of the brain, but here's a post I made last summer, and I have literally 5 more paragraphs if you need more: This past year in the US alone has seen over 100,000 RECORD cold temps as in the coldest temps EVER seen in the US. The IPCC said there has been no warming for 17 years. Global average temp has dropped 15 years in a row as have global ocean temps. Arctic and Antarctic ice are at RECORD thickness and volume. The Great Lakes have entirely frozen over, something NEVER recorded in history, and they expect ice to be on Lake Superior until the end of AUGUST if not ALL year long. This past year saw the coldest temp EVER RECORDED on earth, AND the coldest temp ever recorded in the northern hemisphere. The average temp in Alaska has dropped 3 degrees Celsius over a decade which is enormous. it snowed in Egypt on the Sphinx, a first in over a century. It snowed in the middle of the summer in Australia. China and the Mid East saw their coldest winters in over 5 decades. Climate "scientists" engaged in the biggest scientific fraud across the globe in the history of the world, literally. NONE of the predicted outcomes from computer models have come true, in fact usually the exact opposite has come true. To counter that, climate "scientists" stated just this week that temperature data doesn't matter, just their computer models which have been shown to be off by 3000% when historical figures are entered. Global cooling is a bigger threat to sustaining life than global warming, and in fact a new study came out just last week detailing that the benefits derived from a warmer planet exceed the threats.
Summer, yes. Hot, yes. Burning hot, also. The so called "climate gate" was a piece of PR that only people with low capacity to discern legitimate information would fall for. Was it, mayhaps, a trove of thousands of unredacted documents? Was it something a-la wikileaks, where you need many analysts to check all the info? NO. It was a bunch of paragraphs from different documents pretty much out of context, which for the uninitiated in climate science, might sound fishy. There have been multiple inquiries by official organs as to the complete contents of the mail archive and no foul game was found.
Hey! its Flakmeister in her alternate avatar

Re: "the UNINITIATED in climate science..." <-- Finally, we're getting somewhere! You're an "INITIATE" into a "TRADITION" under a new "SCIENTIFIC PRIESTHOOD." Look it up.
Burning yes, how about all those hurricanes hitting Florida just as predicted.. Does the burning sensation in your nether regions cause the record ice in the Antarctic as well? Perhaps if i send you some tax dollars you will cool down?
You mean gaining sea ice but losing land ice at an accelerated rate, as satellites show?
The land ice is being lost to wind erosion and the fact that most snow falls on the new ice rather than the land.
Climate denier.

Witch burning mob think IS NOT science.
Don't put yourself in the shoes of a victim in the hopes of making an argument.

I smelled that too. Less linky though, that boy could toss out barrels of digital ink for you to wade through. Maybe he is just getting tired?

I miss flak too, but I'm not flak... same as you should check the sources of your denialism, you should check the sources of such an affirmation (as in checking the goddamn user profile) to see where you've gone wrong.
You're still a cunt, just like Flak.
+1
The global warming conjecture is nonfalsifiable, and therefore isn't science.
Exactly. Thank You. +1000
It's easy falsifiable: just measure the temperature around the earth using thermometers & satellites and show cooling: only problem is it isn't cooling which leaves you with a limp dick in your hand.
Smiddy spot on. Do not try to disucss real science with a true global warming nut case. Your wasteing your breath. No matter how many point out the flaws in their science they will deny it. Even when caught red handed they will claim it is a right wing conspiracy. They forget to mention doing their models they strip out many components to achieve their model. Take water moisture for instance which actually makes up most of our atmosphere. They strip it out. Peer review is conduted only in the realm of believers as many non-believers debunk the science threatening their scientific method. Debunkers freely allow other scientists to review their findings these nuts do not.
I can pick any spot on the planet to justify my findings and the hell with the rest of the world as long as I am getting paid by the financiers and can further my cause to sell you basically air. We already sell people water might as well sell it all. This has nothing to do with sound science as it has been debunked many times and all the doom and gloomers in the green movement world have been proven wrong 100% of the time. 100%! Remember the big ice melt in the artic at record levels and the documentary they showed on MSM? Well the next winter if froze over and added to the freeze in the area. But they do not want to talk about it as they do not want to let other scientisits outside their so called realm of science peer review their papers. This has been going on since the start of this crap. They now call it climate change because they lost the argument long ago, but they still attribute it to global warming when you read their publications.
Climate change sure, but that has gone on since the forming of this planet. It will continue to go on when we become extinct. That will never change. They often times forget the 400 year ice age in the norther hemisphere and debunk anyone that states global cooling is happening. Any rational cause other then the man made or worse now livestock because they fart and give off methane is closed out. Why? Because they are paid to state the bullshit to get paid and scare dumbasses of the world. They want your money and nothing more. They even want to tax cattle because of this deadly methane they give off but they forget we people fart too. Of course it was conducted in London, the head of the most corrupt financiers on the planet. Oh wait they have even discussed that!!
SALUTE +100 if I could.
Millions of measurements and constant measurements all proving global warming, measuring actual warming, is not witch-burning or a mob; it's solid physical evidence.
Zero evidence has been provided for NON-WARMING or COOLING. None. Nothing. Ever.
The science IS settled. And this polar vortex events are nothing but a proof of its validity
Huge blizzards are proof of decade old global warming claims that there'd be no more snow in the future!? Sure you told him to get his head outta his ass, but you're head and shoulders deep in your own! Yikes, the sheer stupidity that you people think is science....
What? THe bible predicted jesus would return quickly, over two thousand years ago. Where did it make predictions about snow in Buffalo?

My sister lives up outside Buffalo. Maybe I'll give a call and see if she's OK. Nah, I'm sure she's fine.
If her front door is supposed to open OUT, she may be in some trouble.
This is where a poorly insulated home comes in handy. Crank the heat to the max and as it escapes, the snow around the home melts.
Better have a good drainage system though.
Actually not that much water.
I heard one weathercaster say the the moisture ratio was 40:1
Nice, light, fluffy powder snow. 40" of snow = 1" rain.
Not really, the melting would jam the gutters and back up into the house, causing your ceilings to collapse and ruining the walls.
Maybe for apartment buildings, to prevent barracadeing. But this is the northern wastes far from the Bloomburgs of the world.
This is how winter used to be, in a time before the recent warm period. Looks like the new normal is the old normal to me.
Exactly anyone here remember the 1970's?? The warmth we had for a few decades is over.. Check the sun "Maunder minimum", with its stavation and war has arrived.
Nope, still warming:

I think have working on stopping global warming to hard .......it worked
Since global warming is here, the air currents which kept polar cold from moving closer to the equator are fading...
So thats why there is no ice up there anymore...
http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/record-arctic-ice-growth-i...
Ha! Goddard... A truly eminenece... Damn people, you are fooled so easily.
I bet you never saw the graph of Arctic ice. Yeah, its minimum grew since 2006 or so. Yet check the trend and that growth is still below its average and WELL BELOW what it was, for ex., before 1975.
Wow, flak how about explaining the Antarctic ice, Ha, its like watching glaciers calve and warmists saying they are melting instead of the truth upstream pressure pushing them off land..
Antarctic ice as in sea vs land ice?
Damn people, you are fooled so easily.
...said the dolt that STILL hasn't figured out that globull warming is a socialist hoax.
The only socialist hoax is dumb Murrikinz saying everything is socialist which is government, rather than understanding actual socialism is people working together & owning the means of production. Socialist = worker + owner = same people
That's the trouble with global warming theory, the conclusions come first and the observations are cherry picked to support the conclusion. That is not science, that's religious doctrine. The truth is you guys are reality deniers. Where's your evidence of severe winters when carbon levels were much higher in the past? Where's you evidence of a runaway greenhouse gas effect when the supervolcanoes and meteor strikes FILLED the atmosphere with carbon. I know what you'll say, that was NATURAL carbon and man made carbon is so much worse, it's evil pixi carbon and it's hiding at the bottom of the sea to kill us all.
Wake up, you are a homo sapien, homo sapiens believe stupid things told to them by people in authority or embraced by the crowd. It's ok to be stupid, it's human nature, the unpardonable thing is to stay stupid.
Except... that never happened.

The high carbon release is detected with radio-carbon dating & ice-cores so we can measure the intensity, by the way. This is the most intense release of CO2+methane in all history next to the Permian extinction event's beginning.Rubbish. Cooling is a lack of heat! In central USA across the Atlantic and into Europe the cold polar high pressure system moves south until it collides with the warm Azores high pressure system. The area of collision is the ITCZ (Inter Tropical Convergence zone) where the temp and pressure differentials cause the Jet stream winds and the spiraling cyclonic weather fronts. The heat in the Azores High generates Hurricanes (notice how they have been fewer and further east lately) and push heat into the USA which pushes the Polar air north. When the Azores high is weak (cooler) it doesnt warm into the USA and lets the Polar air move south. This means the Jetstream (ITCZ) imoves south and thats what we see in Europe. The Jetstream used to flow over Scotland (making it wet and windy) now it is flowing over spain making southern Europe unusually wet. The UK normally has Westerley winds but for the last 2 yrs has had unusally high number of southerley and eastly winds, all due to the jetstream moving south as the ITCZ moves south due to a lesser heat in the Atlantic. Similar processes occur over the Pacific and in the southern hemishere where the tropical rain belt coincides with the Southern ITCZ. These are all natural processes and not the result of you turning down your central heating!
What lack of heat? The earth is getting WARMER, not cooler, and it's SUMMER in the southern hemisphere.
Idiot.

Do you stand on a rug and face Algore's house six times daily?
Actually it's 'Newspeak'
At what point does the messaging by the climate fearmongers change to "human Co2 pollution has triggered the next ice age!!1!"? (1970's "Global Cooling" redux)
That's not snow, that's white manna falling from the sky! Recession? Economic dip? Just blame the weather! What a blessing in disguise...
Global warming
is
in deflation!
Those guys and dolls at the fed
Are
saving the planet as well as the Banks
LOL
Living in the tundra is an option. Living in south Texas. Be playing golf this weekend.
Texas? Be careful to mark your ball on the green properly.......... don't want you to end up on Death Row.
You should try living in northern Scandinavia sometime.
Why do people still live here if they complain so much? I don't get it.
another excuse to blame the bad economy on
Bullish. Snow shovels. Snow shovel inflation, snow shovel production. Its all good.
Shovel ready jobs!
indeed, the snow is hardly noticeable!
nothing a bit of salt and hot water won't solve....
maybe in a week or so if it keeps on snowing like this there MIGHT be a excuse to stay home from work. MAYBE!!!
this is a result of the earth over heating, lament and weep oh you earth hating sinners. shred your suv's and kill your children or gia will take more vengence against thee.
fucking great pics ZH.
Nothing too nuts on Buffalo getting that much snow, even this earlier. Northwest NY state gets some of the worst lake effect snow in the country coming Lake Erie
I can attest to that. Lived in Minnesota, went to school in upstate NY. Used to do the drive on I90 through that region for thanksgiving/christmas. Some absolutely hairy drives through mind-boggling snow totals. Used to be so happy to get to Erie, PA when things would return to relative normal. That said, those pictures put me in mind of ice age kind of conditions. Great lakes ice levels more and last longer into spring/summer? Check. Snow and cold earlier? Check. It is said that ice ages result from cool summers where the ice and snow linger. Dont know if true and we seem far from it but the climate conditions on earth can and have changed on a relative dime many many many times for pre-industrial man. Maybe thats why the funds in NY and London have Ag stars in their eyes all the time "Must own Ag. Must own Ag". And then it hits them in the ass. Morons
"sub freezing in all 50 states"
How's that 30 degree weather going in Hawaii?
Wetsuits today on Waikiki Beach?
"B-R-R-R-R-R!" Said averyone in Hawaii, never.
Snow makes my head hurt.
It's not just ZH with the hype -

looks like a game all the newsy services are playing.
just pick your flavour, everybody's news is uni-formed now. . .
Below freezing ?
It has plunged below 70 this morning, down here.
Had to put a sweater on for a while.
Terrible weather.
Haven't you heard? Global warming means cooling. The spin is spinning faster.
Listen.
Your comment has no corresponding comment so I will offer this.
"Threat to 'kill all Jews' gets Muslim man pulled from plane"
http://tinyurl.com/njuqr6n
Homeland Security spokeswoman Sari Koshetz, a Jew, said, "DHS will prosecute all Muslim hatespeak". She said four passengers were taken off a plane from Miami to Detroit after making "inappropriate remarks and acting disruptively."
FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said the bureau was notified and currently all "ANGRY JEWS" are on assignment but she concluded it was a local police matter.
What cooling?
Warming is on now & has been for decades.

NASA Finds 2011 Ninth-Warmest Year on Record

2010 and 2005 tied for warmest years EVER on record
"the next warmest years are 1998, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2009, which are statistically tied for third warmest year. The GISS records begin in 1880."
...Except that's not what happened.
Except that's verifiably precisely what happened. No credible sources on the ENTIRE planet disprove / disagree. Those who disagree have actually got ZERO data measurements of their own. Zero.
This IS a result of earth overheating. That's what science and its method, the best way we have to understand reality, have agreed on. If you don't like that, well, go back to the belief of a flat earth over 2 elephants standing on a giant turtle. It's be the same as far as you care/understand.
No. Science and its methods have NOT agreed on it. There are many scientists debunking the man-made global warming religion. However the media and politicos refuse to let scientists speak unless they accept their religion. Hence we never see a scientist on the media unless they are a global-warming accolyte. The Billions now being spent by Govts to maintain their green religion are obscene.
Damn right, if 90% of qualified doctors tell me i need an op or i'll die, I always go with the 10% who tell me not to have the op.
Y'know, i've always felt gravity was never really proved scientifically, after all its only a theory...............
Yo do know the UN are gonna have to pick up the tab for civilizing you people after you finish your descent into chaos and anarchy.
Here's a secret: You're gonna die anyways.
The UN? Lulz.
Sorry, if you have to have 37 underlying assumptions, many based on faith, that ain't science. We adults call that conjecture.
pods
And you "adults" call Anthony Watts, Stephen Goddard and the Heartland Institute science? Hah, with adults such as these, who needs chirrun...
Indeed. The "wattsup" blog is one of the most fraudulent non-science sites I've seen in quite some time.
Dismissed it entirely after reviewing it for real facts and it had none.
At Galileo's trial, for claiming the earth was round, over 90% of the experts in attendance confirmed it was flat. So by your logic Nestor you'd join the majority of flat-earthers. Science is not a democracy. Its not something thats voted on. Its either demonstrated or it isn't. Current Green warming theory has not been demonstrated despite billions in Govt grants being spent to prove the earth was created in 7 days. Your 90% still have the problem that the evidence doesnt support their theory. In the middleages 90% of western doctors thought blood-letting was a cure for disease - didnt make it right!
"At Galileo's trial, for claiming the earth was round, over 90% of the experts in attendance confirmed it was flat. "
The Earth was known to be round long before Galileo.

Galileo was challenged on his belief in Heliocentricity.

I wish you people would look this stuff up before posting. It would really help your credibility. You have the internet. Why not use it?
seems we have a couple of members of The Flat Earth Society among us.
Hi guys! Whatever you do, don't fall off the edge..lol!
The big difference is that the 90% who condemned Galileo weren't following anything similar to the scientific method. But were bible based. Nothing to do with observation of nature.

LMAO, coincidentally, the same can be said about your globull warmist shaman. Remember, to get where you are, you had to ignore the pile of dissent and forged data scandals.
Oh and BTW, the "90% of scientists" you keep repeating is an outright lie. You do know that, right?
So you're saying the entire planet's inventory of thermometers, clearly all measuring warming every year consistently for decades, are all defective?
