The war over 'Snowmageddon'

Global warming, huh? As record snow storms batter the East, skeptics are hammering climate-change supporters

If the planet really is getting warmer at a dangerous rate — as scientists and politicians would have us believe — then why are we suffering the coldest winter in recent memory? The "Snowmageddon" winter storms currently battering the east coast have given fresh ammunition to global warming skeptics such as Republican Senator Jim DeMint, who took to his computer, tweeting, “It’s going to keep snowing in D.C. until Al Gore cries ‘uncle.'" But proponents of man-made climate change say it's not as simple as that. Who to believe? (Watch an MSNBC report about the blizzard and climate change)

Doesn't seem like global warming to me: Let's have a look at the "cold, hard facts," says Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit. Washington D.C. is "closed down." The snowstorm "shatters local records" from Chicago to Baltimore. Yet still these "delusional statists" can't accept that "manmade global warming is a scam."
