Climate change skeptics are some of the most amusing, annoying folks around. For example, every time it’s not hot outside they prance around going, “See?! See?! It’s not hot!” Morons. Way to display your utter lack of understanding.
Case in point: Check out the beginning of this article from Time magazine about how snowfall winds their paranoia:
It’s become as much a winter tradition as eggnog at Christmas and champagne on New Year’s Eve — the first major snowstorm of the year bringing out the climate-change skeptics. And the bona fide blizzard that has frozen much of the Northeast just a few days after winter officially began definitely qualifies as major. But while piles of snow blocking your driveway hardly conjure images of a dangerously warming world, it doesn’t mean that climate change is a myth. The World Meteorological Organization recently reported that 2010 is almost certainly going to be one of the three warmest years on record, while 2001 to 2010 is already the hottest decade in recorded history. Indeed, according to some scientists, all of these events may actually be connected.

I’m sure they had the same difficulty convincing the skeptics that the earth isn’t flat.
Some people are just very gullible. As long as the people who are causing the problem keep telling us the jury is still out on the facts, those the least among us will keep believing them.
After all, look how many people still start smoking despite all the evidence that it will probably shorten their lives.
You guys are right, some people are very gullible. Everybody knows the Earth’s temperature was perfectly stable until we started firing up our SUVs. AGW skeptics are the same people who believe Obama is a Keynesian.
…and some people believed this:
However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
My apologies for not being the expert cut & paster that some here are…
I love the headline for this story.
See snow outside there’s global warming is a scam! Just to annoy you scammers.
Global warming is a scam! Everyone knows that except gullible ones.
And of course no-one jumped on the Russian heatwave and called “Global Warming”!!!
The slightest anomaly in weather is blamed on man-made global warming, in fact just about anything is blamed on global warming, even the severe cold winter we’re having here. So if global warming causes global cooling, I wonder how much warmer it needs to get in order to bring the earth’s temperature back down to the mythical norm that extremists believe once existed.

You’ve actually mis-stated this – Climate change “Bible Thumpers” are some of the most amusing, annoying folks around. For example, there are hundreds of articles that attribute everything imaginable to climate change. I sometimes wet my pants from laughing so hard.
Pity that you lack common sense or maybe even a brain. Climate modeling or any modeling for that matter is:
junk in = junk out
If you think that climate modeling is so exact, I don’t know what planet you live on. What mankind knows about the climate (2% maybe) and actually how the climate works cannot be modeled today and perhaps may never be modeled – it is that complex. And to think CO2 drives temperature – you must be a fruit cake of the nth degree.
The scam is over and it’s just a matter of time until this bs crashes and jokers like you can move on to the next scam.
