RECORD SNOW-MUST BE GLOBAL WARMING (?)

By STEPHEN HOLZER

Today's snowstorm made this month the snowiest December in New Hampshire in more than a century.

     Associated Press, 12/31/08.

     How can this be?  I thought global warming was drying us out.  Oh, wait-- this unusual phenomenon shows that global warming is producing weather not seen before.  But, wait again-- this weather was seen before, a century ago, before (relatively speaking) much industrialization had occurred.

     If it's hot, it's caused by global warming.  if it's cold, it's caused by global warming.  If it's too dry, it's caused by global warming.  If it's too wet, it's caused by global warming.  If there is a drought, it's caused by global warming.  if there's a flood, it's caused by global warming. 

     It's good to be a global warming true believer.  You can never lose a debate.
