Welcome to Global Cooling
Here’s the back drop: McCain has bought in to the phoney-baloney global warming (aka the Al Gore career resuscitation program). After drinking the Kool-Aid, McCain joins with another Democrat and decides the answer is to begin taxing energy production in the US - a move that will add significant energy-relates costs to the average American family.
Senator McCain: Welcome to Global Cooling.
From NationalPost.com in Canada - comes this report that the snow coverage in the northern hemisphere is the greatest since 1966.
Noteworthy excerpts (but be sure to read the entire article - its quite good):
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.”
China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century.
and this:
And remember the Arctic Sea ice? The ice we were told so hysterically last fall had melted to its “lowest levels on record? Never mind that those records only date back as far as 1972 and that there is anthropological and geological evidence of much greater melts in the past.
The ice is back.
Gilles Langis, a senior forecaster with the Canadian Ice Service in Ottawa, says the Arctic winter has been so severe the ice has not only recovered, it is actually 10 to 20 cm thicker in many places than at this time last year.
Finally this excellent point:

OK, so one winter does not a climate make. It would be premature to claim an Ice Age is looming just because we have had one of our most brutal winters in decades.
But if environmentalists and environment reporters can run around shrieking about the manmade destruction of the natural order every time a robin shows up on Georgian Bay two weeks early, then it is at least fair game to use this winter’s weather stories to wonder whether the alarmist are being a tad premature.
