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.

– Quick, call CRU, another anomaly needs hiding.

Record snow in Alaska—where global warming is supposed to be worst—they have 5feet 8 inches!
Copenhagen got 4 inches a day. Alaska got 4 inches an hour.

Wow, who would have thought it only took 1 day for Obama to solve global warming. Another Nobel Prize in the making?

Rahm to Obama: “Well, at least your approval rating is still higher than the temperature…for now.”

I’m contemplating the failure of the Copenhagen summit while enjoying the fiercest snowstorm on record for the Washington area. But it isn’t the snow that doomed the summit’s agenda – it was the moral incoherence of the Western leaders there. On the one hand, they appealed to lofty Western ideals like public-mindedness and charity. On the other, they portrayed the culture which gave rise to these values as monstrously exploitive and on the verge of anihilating all life on the planet. Can’t have it both ways – and the politicians got stuck on this paradox.
See “The moral contradiction of global warming politics”:

First, this thread won’t be a record-setter for volume. The first Climategate thread had (I think) some 1300 comments.
My favorites, part 2 (* = top picks):
“Mind the credibility gap sir”
Mother Nature enters the peer-review debate
Candid camera right?
*”Looks cold…I hope they left the limo running”
“Now is the winter of our discontent. Oh bummer!”
“Who snowed on my parade?”
*“How can there be snow ? I’m sweating…”
Hmmm, this isn’t the change I was hoping for.
*Well, that’s the climate fixed. Now, I want to talk about Healthcare…
*“Relax, Mr. President, this is just raw data.”
Mine:
*”I blame the wicked witch of The West.”

“Quick, quick! Hide the decline. Can we get some drapes on these here windows?”

“Hansen, we have a problem.”
or
