Climate doomsayers blame global warming for every unusual weather event, in spite of no scientific proof for any of their claims, nor any scientific proof of the cause of the slight warming in the past 135 years -- half of which was before 1940, and can't be blamed on manmade CO2.
If global warming was caused by increases of greenhouse gasses, the warming would be mainly at the poles.
There is no measured warming at the South Pole, but let's ignore that fact for a moment.
Reducing the temperature difference between the tropics and the poles, as greenhouse warming would do, would make weather events milder, contrary to climate doomsayer's claims.
That's basic meteorology, not an unproven theory, and its backed up by anecdotal evidence from cold and warm centuries in the past 1,000 years.
Even more anti-science is blaming cold weather on global warming.
When the weather is unusually cold, desperate climate doomsayers go on the offensive to divert public attention away from the obvious fact that cold weather contradicts their global warming claims.
Many recent unusual cold weather events are generally ignored by the US national press -- they don't want to contradict the exciting coming global warming catastrophe fantasy.
Meanwhile, the US national press features climate doomsayers claiming 2014 had the hottest average temperature since 1880 … but neglects to mention:
(1) 99.999% of Earth's average temperature data are unknown,
(2) All the measurements were made during a warming trend that started in 1850, so every year will be the hottest, or close to the hottest, year on record until that warming trend ends … and,
(3) The 1850 Modern Warming trend may have ended a decade ago, because there has been no warming trend in the past 10 -15 years:
