Monday Mirthiness – hilarious rant on October temperature: 'This is what we get for not electing Al Gore back in the day''

Sometimes, you just have to laugh, and that’s really about all we can do here, because simple facts have no effect. Tom Nelson made the mistake of trying to show a true climate believer that even warmer temperatures had occurred many many years before, in 1938, but this person would hear none of it. Because, facts don’t matter, it’s only what you can “feel”.

Warning: Graphic language. Tweets are in chronological order from bottom to top.

Yes, if only Al Gore had been elected…

But, data trumps feelings. The record for October 17th is 90 degrees in 1938, and there are several other 90+ days in October.

Warmer temperatures? Each time I see this term I am reminded of that spoken parlour game,”Are they animal, vegetable, or mineral?”

The game is Twenty Questions.

And here I always thought that one day was called weather. Will he be screaming about global cooling when it hits -10 in January?

It’s not just a weather vs. climate thing.
There’s also the apparent belief that if Central Park is warm, this proves that the entire world is warming.

Late January 1930 saw 87F in Roanoke, VA.

What this clown doesn’t understand is that weather isn’t climate. While he is having a lovely fall, we here in Western Canada are having one of the colder falls we have ever had.

Gore was a major near miss in doomsday events, ranked right up there with close calls of meteor strikes and nuclear bomb accidents. Thank your lucky chads for that one.

Arguing with a drunk dumb kid. We’ve probably all done it and usually regret it as a waste of time.
