Global Warming Cancels Plattsburgh, New York, Winter Carnival…Because Of ‘Extreme Cold’!
Global Warming Cancels Plattsburgh, New York, Winter Carnival…Because Of “Extreme Cold”!
Winter carnivals are popular, and naturally organizers hope to get cold and snow to make sure they go well. Years ago global warming activists were warning that the days of winter carnivals were numbered, and that snow would be soon a thing of the past. Winter carnivals faced cancellations due to missing snow and balmy weather caused by manmade climate change. This year the predictions of cancellation have finally come true – at least in Plattsburg, New York, this weekend. According to organizers, its scheduled annual carnival has been canceled – not because of a lack of snow and warm weather, but rather because of extreme cold. See forecast here. Hat-tip: Indomitable Snowman Temperatures this Saturday are forecast to plummet close to -30°C. www.mychamplainvalley.com reports that the Carnival Committee spokesperson Allsion Hulbert Bruce says the decision was made on Thursday because they don’t want their volunteers or area families “exposed to the elements this weekend” … “We just think it’s safer for everyone.”

George Washington’s winters: ‘Frozen rivers, knee-deep snows, sleet, frigid temperatures’
…Climate Scientist Destroys WaPo Global Warming Alarmists
The Washington Post’s Capital Weather Gang (CWG) blog attempted to link the recent East Coast blizzard to global warming Wednesday, only to be shot down by veteran climate scientist Chip Knappenberger.
“To me some folks at Capital Weather Gang are overly eager to link human-caused climate change to extreme weather events,” Knappenberger, a climate scientist at the libertarian Cato Institute, told The Daily Caller Caller News Foundation. “There is a lot of scientific research out there on the complexities of extreme weather events and undoubtedly there is much more still to come. In fact, the breadth of extreme weather literature is so large that, through careful selection, you can pretty much build any story you want to when it comes to how any particular type of event may (or may not) have been influenced by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.”
CWG reported Wednesday that seven of the top ten snowstorms in the Washington, D.C.-area have occurred since 1979. The Gang used this fact to go ahead and argue the “tempo of big storms for the city has increased” due to global warming. The Post concluded that “the planet may be changing in multiple ways to help intensify the most severe East Coast snowstorms, even as the climate warms and becomes less hospitable for snow.”
Knappenberger disagreed and pummeled CWG with a blizzard of tweets detailing why the argument was overblown.
“The literature on most extreme weather types indicates that while enhanced atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases may play some role in the evolution of the development, intensity, track, etc. of the event, that the impact is both uncertain and dwarfed by natural variability,” Knappenberger continued

The number of blizzards has DOUBLED in the past 20 years: Scientists blame global warming and sunspots for rise in storms
From 1960-94, the US had an average of nine blizzards per year
But since 1995, the annual average has risen to 19, recent study found
More blizzards are forming outside normal season of October to March
One explanation is the use of better methods to record severe storms

Blizzards, like the one that battered the East Coast this weekend, have doubled in number over the past 20 years.
From 1960-94, the US had an average of nine blizzards per year. Since 1995, that annual average has risen to 19.
And it’s not just their frequency that’s increasing. More blizzards are forming outside the normal storm season of October to March, scientists have found.

In the past two decades, there have been three more blizzards per year from April to September compared to 1960-94.
This is according to research – which has yet to be peer-reviewed – by scientist Jill Coleman at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.

…Warmist Blizzard claim: ‘Did climate change play a role here? The answer, quite simply, is yes.’
Winters are getting warmer pretty much everywhere, but at the same time, seven of the ten heaviest snowstorms in New York City’s weather history (which dates to 1869) have now come within the last 20 years. A similar trend holds for DC and Baltimore. Something is clearly different recently.
There are a lot of reasons for this, including a big boost from a very strong El Niño(and some other factors that are, frankly, probably either random chance or not well understood), but there is clear evidence global warming is boosting the odds of recent big Northeast snowstorms. Among the clearest is Physics 101: A warmer atmosphere is able to hold more moisture, and thus can produce heavier precipitation (whether rain or snow) in a shorter amount of time. At the moment, exceptionally warm waters off the East Coast (as high as 76 degrees Fahrenheit!) are boosting the amount of water vapor in the air by about 10 to 15 percent, according to Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
Looking ahead to the forecast for the next few days, warmer than normal temperatures are expected to resume for the foreseeable future, meaning this snow—as heavy as it was—won’t stay around for long. And that, of course, is partly due to global warming too.
