Climatic anecdotia
If the absence of snow in winter is evidence of anthropogenic global warming, what is lots of early snow evidence of?
Live by the anecdote, die by the anecdote, that's what I always say.

Hasn't environmentalist rhetoric abandoned "global warming" in favor of "climate change" in order to prevent this kind of attack on their moonbattery?

Yes, randian, but we're not going to let them do that.
And, anyway, my problem in this post is more with the journalists and the activists than the scientists. I am not citing this snow as evidence that there is no climate change, but mocking the journalists who cite all warm weather as evidence of climate change.

Once again - the news is the trend, the anecdote exemplifying the trend is the news hook.
Got a cooling trend you want to support with your anecdote, especially one you want to put money on as continuing in the future?
