It’s that time of year, the perennial “It’s snowing so it can’t be warming” season – or, as scientists call it, “winter”. Depends on where you’re standing, actually — I stood on a frozen lake with Dr. Jeff Masters to discuss the current planetary changes, but at the same time, in Alaska, historic warm temperatures were unfolding, and across the west, the deepest drought in decades…

Extrema sequía e intensas heladas se combinan en el cambio climático que
afecta a USA!!!
It is refreshing to see this compilation video. Very informative. Very
clear explanation of why we are experiencing the current stable, and
unpleasant weather pattern in the US.
The most worrisome issue raised is the severely reduced snowpack in the
Sierra. This next summer is going to bring a true crisis to California.
It would have been nice if the clips had been audio-normalized when
spliced, as the production version commentary varies between inaudible and
painfully loud.
Did no one see the memo leaked from al gores office last year saying the
global warming myth is making us a lot of money. That’s why you don’t see
him he was caught lying and he is hiding. Its all bullshit
We are all going to die!
Does anyone other than me have issue with them blatantly changing from
“Global Warming” to “climate change”!!! Yes, weather conditions change; No
shit. And all of those idiots bitching about co2 a change of 200 ppm THAT
IS 0.02%! TWO HUNDREDTHS OF A PERCENT. Fuck it. What a waste of time
Seems like a reasonable approach. The Rutgers lady basically says “it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck” but she’s not ready to make the claim that our weather woes are ABSOLUTELY caused by global warming. Her comments are logical and consistent with what you’d expect from a scientist. She gives us the facts and doesn’t try to color them one way or another Rush on the other hand is a talk show guy who gets paid a lot of money to misinform people and confuse issues. It’s no small wonder he was addicted to oxycontin. When you… Read more »
Global warming causes Global cooling, but then Global cooling cause global
warming? Those poor warmists, they must be soooo confused right now. I
wonder… how do they get to sleep at night?
Al gore
Global Warming, LOL. It is called weather and most of these
pseudo-scientists are schmucks. When will they stop the scam. California is
going to be a desert. LOL
That graphic that they analyzed the northern hemisphere temps in early
January now is replaced by brutal cold in Russia and continued cold shots
in the CONUS.
You guys sure love to cherry pick data.
Dr. Masters lives 20 miles from me. His reference to -15 versus +30 last
year was more cherry picking. We had days of -30 departures this year and
perhaps a day of mid +20’s departure last year… But beyond that, he is
definitely in damage mode.
If There’s Global Warming … Why Is It So Cold? #agw #climatechange
*This Is Not Cool*
What we see here is somebody trying to dovetail Media and Science. Media thrives on crisis. It’s warm? It’s a crisis. It’s cold? It’s a crisis. Nothing going on is the least bit unusual. Records of one sort or another get broken every season, every year. Why? 1. Because we’ve only been monitoring it for a historical blink of an eye. 2. The United States has the world’s worst weather as it always has. Ever wonder why the Mayans developed so much more rapidly than North American Natives? It’s because the weather sux in North America. It’s too freakin’ cold… Read more »
Climate change is already having a catastrophic impact throughout the
planet on the mental health of environmentalists and left-wing ideologues.
Other than that, climate change resulting due to the anthropogenic increase
of CO2 in the atmosphere is details aside a slow and harmless process. All
issues that may be of any concern are far more manageable for the human
civilization than the resignation from the utilisation of carbon based
fossils as combustible fuel.
My take on those who write on this page that they think climate change is a
lie or something like that is that they seem not to either understand or
acknowledge basic statistical measures of dispersion. They seem not to
understand what a global average is and what outliers are.
Here it is a week later and California is getting dumped on, how about that
the climate is changing.
I like how they show the arctic and Siberia in yellows and reds as if it’s
70 degrees up there, it may be a few degrees above normal but still 5 below
zero or whatever.
The jet stream looks to have gone from buzzed Bessel function to hammered
sine function. We should probably close out its tab, but I like driving and
eating. I especially like eating.
“…or, as scientists call it, “winter”. …”
Now that remark is funny 🙂
Though tragic some people use it to deny global warming, and its
consequence, climate change 🙁
Does it matter whether global warming is due to man made or natural causes? The devastating effects are still the same. It’s like wasting resource and time arguing over whether the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant disaster is cause by nature or by human negligence, the effects are still the same. So if the elites, having access to think tanks and vast number of scientists, have figured out that the environment is going to collapse; and they are preparing by building underground cities and seed vault for themselves using public tax money. Why aren’t the common folks taking lesson from them,… Read more »
This is important.
Thank you, Yale Climate Change Forum! I’ve been trying to explain this stuff from a common sense perspective to my friends who are skeptics regarding Climate Change and Global Warming. This video is very helpful. The general public really needs to understand that Global Warming is the long term trend and that it causes “global weirdness”, in that normative weather patterns are radically altered. The Earth has many mechanisms by which to reset deviations like this, but there is a limit. Even if Climate Change and Global Warming was not real, strict and serious regulation of ecological health would still… Read more »
Global worming is created by the media. They want to never run out on news
stuff about the weather.
A lot of emphasis on the past year’s experience, not enough attention on
longer term trends, so this video doesn’t make a strong case illustrating
that climate change in a real, on-going phenomena. That case can surely be
made. so it is unfortunate that this opportunity didn’t do it.
In the US, why is it cold in the East and warm in the West? The polar
vortex.
Get some facts, folks. Snow in January does *not* disprove global warming.
Here is an explanation of why it is so cold in middle America, and so warm
in Alaska
i slipped on ice today…checkmate climatologists!

Refreshingly rational.
This is not cool…
Viewers and denialists especially are invited to review the weather in Australia. They are in the middle of summer. And it is hot as Hades. Temperatures day after day topping 122 degrees F. Whole ecosystems such as bat colonies being killed off by the heat. Imagine 10’s of thousands of bats falling from the skies dead a few weeks ago. Similar high heat patterns are also happening in South America in some areas. Last year was in the top four hottest years globally on record. We are frying the planet; disturbing ecosystems; breaking up weather patterns that have been stable… Read more »
The shutdown of solar activity evidenced by this current solar max just
ending being lower than average minimums and the prediction of decades more
even lower activities are going to put us in a (mini?) ice age-that is
fact. Climatologists always leave out THE determining factor of the sun. It
drives earths climate. That is fact. Global WARMongers convolute with
government to further the decline of middle class and poor through carbon
taxing which corporation will write off or receive subsidies. This is a
crock of….
And the California and West Cost in fact historically were dry-REAL dry.
The last century has been unbelievably wet… The West Coast is returning
to historical norms. Funny how they don’t look back to history. Anything to
justify their agenda…and everyone just eats this pile up.
If There’s Global Warming … Why Is It So Cold?
MANBEARPIG IS REAL I TELLS YA!!!
Leave it to the arrogance of man to think he can control everything
including the weather.
If There’s Global Warming … Why Is It So Cold?
Global warming is a silly lie. Everyone with any sense realizes that
climate change is actually caused by turtles. It’s turtles all the way
down!!
