One hurricane or one blizzard are not abnormal. But when you get several one in a hundred year events in one year, you have to wonder. And only idiots would dismiss them as being meaningless, particularly when climatologists have been predicting extreme weather will become more frequent.
What Gypsy8 said! . Think about it. NYC was hit by TWO Hurricanes in the past two years! In 2011 the storm went up the state an absolutely ravaged Schoharie, Ulster, Columbia, Delaware and other counties, it washed away entire towns, towns used to high water given the annual thaw of a winter in the snow belt. Then the storm moved into Vermont. VERMONT! A hurricane trashed Vermont! . Storm of the century? Likely much longer than that! . Then the next year, The NEXTYEAR! Hurricane Sandy. . This snow storm is about energy in the Atlantic. Lots of water evaporating and being sent against the cold air coming down (as it usually does do) . I’m surprised that this is a record setting snow. I remember much higher snowfall amounts many many times. There was a winter where we were getting 24 inches every few days. I remember having to shovel 4.5 feet off the porch roof. I remember wading through snow up to my midsection (I’m 6’1") from a single snowstorm in the late ‘80-very early ’90s. I remember in the decade between ’87 and ’97 (I don’t remember which year) when it was 10 below for weeks on end. The salt wouldn’t melt the ice on the roads and they had 6" of ice on them (all of them). . Again, this storm is probably more historic for it’s size than for the snow it dropped in any one location. But then, I’m shocked that 32" is “all time record” snow for Portland, ME. . The movie “The Perfect Storm” is about a real storm. It was a rarity. Now “Perfect Storms” seem to be more common.
And if the climate changes differently, why, we’ll just change our definition of “global warming” to accommodate the difference. After all, that’s what fraud is all about.
When the world wouldn’t follow the global warming religion, they changed the words to ‘global change’. When hasn’t the world changed? It goes through extremes every 6 months.
Called "the Thomas Nast of his time" by The National Review magazine, Payne is an informed journalist whose investigative writing has also made national headlines.

Except, of course, that global warming will cause extreme fluctuations in all weather…including blizzards in New England in February.

Maybe someone should explain life’s complex issues to Payne, like well, the meaning of a “STOP” sign?

Are you being Sarcastic. New England Blizzards are common in February.

ummm @Kylie2112 is simply stating that a snow storm is not proof that global warming is not a thing as Payne seems to think.

Wow, it appears ignorance is not bliss. It appears that ignorance leads to tortured denials.

Why is the globe changing? Because people don’t pay enough in taxes!
