Strange

Even CNN is parroting this inanity:

Copenhagen (CNN) – In a strange twist, a Washington snowstorm is forcing Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, to make an early departure from a global warming summit here in Denmark.

If you know what the phrase "global warming" means, which you should if you are writing about it for a news organization, you would find nothing strange about the existence of snow on the Earth. More specifically: unusual weather.

Unsurprisingly, by including not educational details about what the phrase "global warming" means, CNN leaves the door open for insanity in its commentary. Endless ignorance that should have been headed off in the article.

How's that for irony?

Yep, must be more of that "manmade global warming" I've been hearing so much about. See, global warming doesn't actually make things warmer, it makes them colder and snowier. Err... uhhh... Okaaaaay...

Sort of like how "up" makes things go "down" and "in" actually makes things go "out."

If you give a monkey a brain, he'll swear he's the center of the universe...
and can change the weather...
accidentally...
by driving an SUV.

2010 simply can't get here fast enough.

Oh, yeah, just watch those temperatures climb through the roof! Global warming sure is coming!

Not.

Thankfully, there are some smart voices on the page, too.

For the love of.... Its not a "strange twist.." This feigned confusion over how it can be cold (In December!!!!) if Global Warming exists is just absolutely ridiculous. You're talking a few degrees which has a significant impact on the global ecosystem, but no one is suggesting that Global Warming is going to make cold weather disappear.. everywhere... forever...
Also, Global Warming can even (I'm going to blow your minds here) make certain areas COLDER.. Yes... even though its called Global WARMING. Who would of thought.. you can't learn everything about a scientific theory by simply... reading the word and inferring a meaning. And before you jump on "theory" that probably doesn't mean what you think it means either..

"In a strange twist"!? When are people going to realize "Global Warming" isn't just about warming? It means more extreme winters and summers, with shorter springs and falls. So with the reality of global warming upon us, there is absolutely nothing strange about a snow storm in DC this time of year. Do some research Ed. Or go get a job with FOX. They love rubes like you.
