How Global Warming distorts US Jobless Figures

We all know global warming causes everything bad and nothing good, but what is the worst thing that it could cause?

Dead polar bears?

Nope.

The death of the Loch Ness Monster?

Not even close.

No, the worst thing that Global Warming could di is to make Obama look bad. (And I don’t have to use all six degrees of Global Warming to do it)

Where did I leave my Keys to Airforce One?

February 10, 2010 – Right in line with Time Magazine’s typical political stance, they expressed how the blizzards of 2010 were caused by global warming:

In the meantime, warmer air could be supercharged with moisture and, as long as the temperature remains below 32°F, it will result in blizzards rather than drenching winter rainstorms.

And if Time magazine isn’t enough for you, the National Wildlife Federation was a little more certain that it was Global Warming causing the snow. (ripped apart by a fantastic article at Cliamteaudit.org)

Global warming is having a seemingly peculiar effect on winter weather in the northern United States. Winter is becoming milder and shorter on average; spring arrives 10 to 14 days earlier than it did just 20 years ago. But most Snowbelt areas are still experiencing extremely heavy snowstorms. Some places are even expected to have more heavy snowfall events as storm tracks shift northward and as reduced ice cover on the Great Lakes increases lake-effect snowfalls. Even as global warming slowly changes the character of winter, we will still experience significant year-to-year variability in snowfall and temperature because many different factors are at play.

So, according to the greenies, Global Warming causes global cooling.

What does this have to do with US jobless figures and making Obama look bad you may ask?

The White House came out yesterday to try to head of the upcoming and obviously negative news about US jobless figures.

WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) – White House economic adviser Larry Summers said on Monday winter blizzards were likely to distort U.S. February jobless figures, which are due to be released on Friday.

“The blizzards that affected much of the country during the last month are likely to distort the statistics. So it’s going to be very important … to look past whatever the next figures are to gauge the underlying trends,” Summers said in an interview with CNBC, according to a transcript.

Construction activity was hit particularly hard by the storms, but many restaurants and stores also had to close, putting the brakes on hiring plans and temporarily throwing some employees out of work.

Let me paraphrase:

Wait wait everybody, before we tell you how bad they are, remember, it is all because of the winter blizzards.  Don’t blame Obama.  Blame the weather.

So there you have it.  Global Warming = Global Cooling = Blizzards = disruption in Obama’s Plan = Obama looks bad.

When will the craziness ever cease?
