Winger talking point for 2009 – no global warming

Here in the U.S., attacking the Employee Free Choice Act as undemocratic may well remain conservative blogosphere Point No. 1. But, denying man-made global warming lets wingers from around the world weigh in, like Christopher Bocker at the Telegraph across the pond.

He, like other global warming denialists, make two basic errors, so basic a sweating pig in a forest could correct him.

First, 2008 was an average y ear within the last decade. So, it didn’t seem hottER than previous years because it wasn’t.

Second, they (usually willfully) conflate weather and climate.

It snowed in New Orleans? Well, to them that means anthropogenic global warming is a lie.

I counter that it got up to 85 degrees in Big Bend National Park the day after Christmas, so global warming is VERY real.
