But, but, December heat wave?

Not only are we shattering temperature records on Christmas, 2015 will also almost certainly finish as the hottest year on record.

As of Thursday morning, temperatures reached 71 degrees in New York City, around 35 degrees above average. The predicted high will be 74, and as families gather for dinner, it will be in the high 60s. New Yorkers hit the beach to soak up the sun.

It’s called weather dumbass, but I’m sure they will try and spin this as “climate change” since the global warming thing isn’t working for them.

That was quick.

Part of the reason this Snowzilla storm is expected to dump so much snow is because it is pulling abundant moisture. As the planet warms because of excess heat trapped by human-emitted greenhouse gases, the atmosphere can hold more moisture. Scientists already expect heavy downpours to increase because of that. But there’s been little research into what that means for “epic blizzards” like this one. here…

New York Blizzard 1888

The weather preceding the blizzard was unseasonably mild with heavy rains that turned to snow as temperatures dropped rapidly.^[1] The storm began in earnest shortly after midnight on March 12, and continued unabated for a full day and a half. The National Weather Service estimated this Nor’easter dumped as much as 50 inches (130 cm) of snow in parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts, while parts of New Jersey and New York had up to 40 inches (100 cm).^[3] Most of northern Vermont received from 20 inches (51 cm) to 30 inches (76 cm) in this storm.^[4]

Hmmm…I didn’t know the carbon levels were that high back then.
