For
New Yorkers and those in my part of New Jersey across the river, snow has fallen eight times since December 14, an average of once every five days, 56.1 inches in Central Park as of Jan 27th, and people are, shall we say, taking notice?
Along with the snow come power outages, disrupted bus schedules, air travel delays, commuting by car becomes an auto body repair business bonanza, schools shut their doors, and some people die from weather-related accidents or just from trying to shovel the snow from the driveway.
Having battled the "global warming" hoax since it was first perpetrated in the late 1980s, I have had the good fortune to make friends with many of the world's top meteorologists and climatologists who joined in the long effort to educate people to the fact that there never was a rapid rise in the planet's overall temperatures.
Even so, some mainstream media news outlets have continued to file stories incredulously blaming the winter snow storms on "global warming." The hoax for too many media folk has long since become a religion in which blind faith replaces the objective fact obvious to everyone. It is cold. There is snow. Lots of it.
Indeed, the Earth has been in a cooling cycle since around 1998 as verified by meteorological satellite and other data. Piers Corbyn, an astrophysicist and leading forecaster, said "We're now headed for a Maunder minimum of very low solar activity. The globe will be much cooler until about 2035, so there will be a lot more of these cold winters in Europe and the USA."
Comment: The statement "There is also an increasing reluctance to take personal steps to tackle climate change" seems to indicate that we can turn the ship around when in fact there is little we can do or could have done. From all appearances we are experiencing a cyclic global cooling period.
