Up North every January it seems to finally warm up a little after weeks of brutal cold. They call it the January Thaw. Down South we call our warm up after several weeks of "brutal" cold Spring-like. Yep, that's what it felt like today as we finally reach 70 for the 1st time since Christmas Eve. The rest of this week will stay spring-like with highs in to 70s, but we'll have 2 bouts with stormy weather. The 1st will be late Wed. into Thursday, although the heavier storms should be to our north. The 2nd stronger system will arrive late Sat. into early Sunday. Behind it will be a return to colder air for the start of next week.
A mentor of mine is John Coleman who founded The Weather Channel. Last week he broadcast a special report regarding the Global Warming Hoax on his station in San Diego. You can view it at www.kusi.com/weather/colemanscorner/81583352.html. It will show you why we shouldn't trust our government regarding weather data.

I tune in for a Local on the 8’s, and it seems like every frickin’ time, there is some storm drama pre-empting it. Weather Channel heck you have to wait around just to ge the local current temps.
The problem with John Coleman's arguments is the lack of empirical truth. His ideas are not typically backed by anything other than emotional appeal and because of strong conservative tethers wrapped up in Coleman, many believe he could be the one protecting a political special interest. It's very difficult to find a single supporting fact for Coleman's argument that contains a statistical trend or reliable source, and actually, he denounces scientific methods for gaining evidence as a propagandist tool used to propagate lies. Plus you yourself made fun of the Weather Channel many times...
Unfortunately, John Coleman's arguments do not hold solid ground in a scientific debate.
Coleman admits, his "expertise" is in weather - not climate change science.
Bob,
In today's Times Picky, there's an AP article "It's Official: 2000s were one hot decade". The article goes on to say that temps from 2000-2009 were the warmest on record. The data came from National Climate Data Center.
Check this article out in today's paper. This is in direct conflict with an article on ICECAP.US, which states otherwise. I think the article on the ICECAP website gave proof positive that the last decade WAS NOT the warmest.
Just to the layman, it's hard to believe the AP article when 2008 and 2009 contained so many record low temps.
After rejecting most of CAVEMAN's posts, I'm allowing this one since it is what this blog is about...opinions. If he goes back to being stupid, I'll keep him off. He rejects Coleman's arguments for "lack of empirical truth". Huh? For years MANY have questioned the government's data and only thru CLIMATEGATE do we find that indeed, they do fudge/lie about the data. Reliable source? Is NCDC or NOAA to be trusted like we trusted the government's sources regarding Viet Nam and Iraq? I think not...especially now that their own e-mails admit to fudging data. Who won't debate? It's the government that won't debate the science. Finally, John Coleman was forced out of TWC many years ago and see what's happened to it. Make your opinions legit CAVEMAN and you're back in. Start being stupid and I'll shut the door again
Bob,
I believe NOAA, NCDC (the group that's responsible for today's article about the last ten "warmest" years) and NASA are all implicit in fudging data and e-mail shenanigans.
I think Caveman has it backwards, it's HIS group (and the gov)that won't debate.
But don't fear they're all having trouble finding an explanation to the recent record cold weather, not just in spotty places, but all over the planet where cold weather effects are unheard of.
I'm sure there are some e-mails circulating right this minute cooking up a new flavor of fudge.
Dang... Its incredible what a little extra sunlight than forecasted can do. Several Supercells have developed across Southern Louisiana and have had a history of producing tornadoes. The worst has been North of the lake and I expect it to stay there. The GFS only predicted a high of 70F today and the NAM kept us in the 60's for today. We ended up getting into the mid-70's today and look what that extra bit of heat did. There was actually an impressive tornadic supercell that moved through Tangipahoa and Washington Parish. The older runs of the GFS were more correct than last night and 12Z today's runs. The GFS about 2 days ago was calling for a 84% chance of supercell development(usually in the 50-60% range with your average severe weather outbreak in SE LA). I will be keeping a close eye on the severe weather as the evening progresses. It looks for now that the action will stay on the Northshore. VIPER was on the money again!!!
