Warmest Winter Weather Warns of Worse

It will be spring in a few days, but in the world of climatology, winter is measured in terms of calendar months: December, January and February. So it is that climatologists can already tell us about what kind of winter weather we had this year.

The winter of 2006-2007 was the warmest winter on record.

There are still a few people who say that there isn’t any evidence for global warming. Yet, as this winter shows, the globe is warmer than ever. But, it isn’t just this year. In recent times, year after year, temperatures have been unusually high.

The science of global warming has become so overwhelmingly convincing that, for the most part, the right wing talking points now make a more restricted argument than they used to. They now admit that global warming is taking place, and acknowledge that there’s a lot of evidence that global warming is due to human activity. All the right wingers have to say now is that there isn’t anything we can do about global warming, and so we just ought to accept it and adapt ourselves to the havoc that it will bring.

Notice how the right wing position on global warming keeps on shrinking and shrinking as the years go on? Right wing ideology on the environment is kind of like an ice sheet in Greenland in that way. Let’s hope that its habitat continues to melt away. Soon, the survival right wing denial might become endangered.

One good way to shrink the habitat of right wing denial of global warming is to evict it from the White House in 2008.
