Forget global warming: Welcome to the new Ice Age:

Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.

The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January “was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average.”

Posted for the irony, and the human interest, since one bad winter doesn’t mean that the Earth is really cooling—anymore than one hot summer driven by El Nino means it’s really warming. 

Trouble is the Gore-iacs want it both ways:  They want to use the data if it confirms, and argue it doesn’t matter, when it tends to contradict their fiercely held beliefs.
