[I]The Texas Republican Joe Barton stands out even among his fellow conservative Republicans who have made it an article of faith to deny the existence of a human component to climate change.

On Wednesday, Barton cemented that reputation by citing the Old Testament to refute scientific evidence of man-made global warming, drawing on the story of Noah's ark.

"I would point out that if you are a believer in the Bible, one would have to say the great flood was an example of climate change," Barton told a congressional hearing on Wednesday in a video first shown on the Buzzfeed website. "That certainly wasn't because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy."[/I]

Its been hot as hell in DC lately. 90ish. I was gonna go to the gym today but I probably spent so long sweating in my car, I sweat off enough water weight to equal going to the gym.

And its not even dry heat, its sticky heat.

Ugh, kill me.

Schools are closing in the area due a polar vortex coming through. Wind chill temps are expected to be below -10 in the area. What I wouldn't give to be under the age 18 right now.

Going to play weather nerd cop. Polar Vortex is nothing new. It's not made up, and it's trending because, well, that's what the media is jumping on. Its an upper atmosphere massive swirling vortex of artic air that normally just chills at in the upper atmosphere. Sometimes... It weakens due to a variety of factors and sometimes it even splits into two. That's essentially what has happened here. Its unusual to dip this far down... but not unheard of.

Were not going to experience any swirling or wind because of it. The wind is due to a pressure gradient. Think of one balloon blown to full.... And one to half full, connect the two together and let them equalize.. That's high pressure vs low pressure and when they try to equalize. That's wind. That's why its windy.

Luckily this cold spell is relatively short lived and the jet stream will return to a much warmer pattern for at least the near future.... So relief is in site. But for now, stay safe and warm.

Re: Global Warming? My A$$ Its Cold Outside
 

But really who cares. Its effin cold and I'm sick of this shit. Grabbing a beer and going to bed...
