The photo below originally appeared in the NYT showing Air Force One returning from Copenhagen.
It of course, screams for a caption. I’m sure our readers can provide one.
Here’s the original caption and story from the NYT.
Major Snowstorm Hits Atlantic Coast
A major winter storm was moving up the Atlantic Coast on Friday night, with forecasters expecting accumulations of one to two feet of snow in some areas. President Obama returned early Saturday from climate talks in Copenhagen, landing at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland in the midst of the storm.
I’ll fill in the balloon with the best caption
“Relax, Mr. President, this is just raw data. In a moment, we will have hid the decline.”
I think the gods are having a good chukle over the COP 15 agreement.
Snow??? Now???? Ahhhh … those *%^& Chinese are playing with the weather again!
Can someone de-ice this teleprompter?
“Oh look, Michelle, a ticker-tape parade.”
Lawdy! Lawdy! Look at that albino skeeter swarm!!! Al Gore said global warmin’ would cause that… that man don’t lie!
Ladies and gentlemen, If you look out of the left hand side …
“I was just saying the other day that I was going to ride this cap and trade gravy train till Hell freezes over! Oops.”
According to Piers Corbyn’s latest forcast for December, it will only get better and better; USA & CANADA – 28-30 Dec VERY MAJOR cold blasts & snowstorms.

Sir, you should be looking out the homogenized window.
“I’m dreaming of a warm Christmas,
Just like the ones Mann said we’d have…..”
“Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned off the global warning sign. Please stop wasting time and money when you exit the plane.”
Are the chinese doing this?
No sir. It’s the poles.
This snow is being taken completely out of context, and besides, it’s snow leftover from the Bush administration.
Marshmallow World music !
By: Carl Sigman
Ahhhh, it’s a marshmallow world in the winter,
When the snow comes to cover the ground.
It’s the time for play, it’s a whipped cream day,
I wait for it the whole year round!
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly,
In the arms of the evergreen trees;
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head,
It’s shining so your nose won’t freeze!
The world is your snowball, see how it grows,
That’s how it goes, whenever it snows.
The world is your snowball just for a song,
Get out and roll it along!
It’s a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts,
Take a walk with your favorite girl.
It’s a sugar date, so what if spring is late,
In winter it’s a marshmallow world!
Dr. Bob (10:42:37) :
I am currently trying to find out more information on this:
In Lord Monckton’s letter to Dr. Pachauri he (unscientifically)
demonstrated that the slopes for the previous periods of warming were
similar to the slope of the warming period we are currently in (page 6
in the PDF linked below.)
http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/pachauri_letter.pdf
However I’m having trouble finding data or studies that demonstrate
the warming is occurring at the same rate as earlier in the century.
The graph there speaks for itself surely? The very same graph that is being used to tell us that the rate if warming is dramatically and continuously increasing, can just as well be used to show that it has happened before at exactly the same rate twice last century, with little or no CO2 to make it happen.
The same graph, completely different message.
The point being made is that the figures don’t lie, the lies are being made to figure (to paraphrase my high school statistics teacher)
“I meant Washington, D.C., you idiot!”
Sorry, in relation to the above, the ‘original’ graph is on page 2 of the pdf.
“Captain told me that it was a Good job there’s only 10 of us on the aeroplane or else we wouldn’t have gotten stopped by the end of the runway!”
“Did anyone see the football. I havn’t seen it since meeting with Golden Brown nose!”
“What do you mean I ran out of carbon credits and we had to land in Iceland?”
“we better pass the $100 billion quick because you add all this snow melt to the Al’s estimate current level of sea rise for 2009 and DC will be under water!”
“some one should have to buy the right from Al to snow!”
Just think, We could have prepared the nation for all this snow, if we had only taken our fingers out of our ears.
ClimateGate? What’s that?
[Make this series into a video slide-show on YouTube.]
“That aught to cut the sulfer smell for Hugo.”
No, I will NOT ask Sarah Palin if her husband has a spare ‘snow machine’ he can loan me!
I’m going Chuck Norris on Al Gore for this ‘Effect’ thingy!
now… while you may see snow, there’s a consensus that its actually ash, the remains of ducks flying through the CO2 absorption band
