This op-ed did not have a place for comments (big shock there). Here is the letter I just sent to the New York Times, which they probably will not
print, but you should post anywhere you see more of this warm = cold
nonsense.

I hope the New York Times is smart enough to understand that this claim that global warming makes cold weather is not science, but science fiction; a plot device lifted from the science
fiction movie “The Day After Tomorrow”, and interestingly enough the
same film Al Gore stole computer-generated ice cracking from for his
so-called “documentary”.

The global warming cult and its financial arm, the “Carbonazis”, have invested a huge amount of time and money and political capital selling the need for a carbon tax to the world, to
fund the new global environmental authority as a step towards global
government. But three harsh winters in a row have sounded the death
knell for the warmista predictions, and this “hot climate makes cold
weather” nonsense is a Hail Mary pass to save the agenda in the face of
harsh winter reality setting in, by claiming that the cold weather is
what the theory of global warming predicted.

Yet we know this is nonsense. Back in 2000 the Hadley CRU (the institution at the heart of the Climategate email and software scandal) stated “Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past”.

In 2008, scientists were claiming there would be no ice at the North Pole.

Also in 2008, the warmistas were claiming that winter as a whole no longer existed!

And only last October, the UK Met Office declared that global warming would result in a very m....

Interesting fact: the Chairman of the Met Office board, Robert Napier, is or has been:
* Chairman of the Green Fiscal Trust*
* Chairman of the trustees of the World Centre of Monitoring of Conservation
* a director of the Carbon Disclosure Project
* a director of the Carbon Group
* Chief executive of the World Wildlife Fund UK
He is also a member of the Green Alliance.

Entire careers and funding have been built on the theory that the Earth is getting warmer, and people like JUDAH COHEN, whose blurb indicates is part of the global warming establishment, are
writing now that heat causes freezing in an effort not to lose their
jobs and funding despite having totally blown predicting what was going
to happen.

There is more at stake here than just academic tenure and scientific funding. Around the world, local governments struggling with the harsh economy have heard the constant proclamations of warmer
winters and have slashed their budgets for winter preparations, secure
in the knowledge they would not need as much road grit, ploughs, or
fuel oil as previous winters.

The result is that the disaster of these last three winters has been magnified by lack of adequate preparation. Already Britain has sold out of standard snow tires and is running out of road
grit. Budgets for winter contingencies are already exhausted across
Europe, and most tragic of all, the millions of people made homeless by
the Wall Street excesses of the last ten years are freezing to death as
heating fuel for shelters and warming centers runs out. Dozens have
died just in Santa Barbara California.

The blood of all those dying in winter accidents on unprepared roads, or freezing to death, is on the hands of those academics, media pundits, and scientists, who all signed onto the
global warming agenda because it was fashionable and trendy and the
source of vast amounts of research grants, together with the investors
who planned to do to the entire world with carbon what Enron had done
to California with electricity; force people to buy a carbon credit, a
mythical commodity literally created out of thin air that was planned
to fuel the next great Wall Street bubble.

The New York Times does itself and its readers a grave disservice when it runs op-ed pieces by environmentalists with clear conflicts of interest, especially when said op-ed ignored a
decade of predictions of warmer winters to claim that record cold is
what their pet science-fiction theory actually predicted, and that one
can make ice by heating a pan of water on the stove.

Shame on the New York Times for not exercising due diligence in vetting these global warming propaganda pieces. One would almost think the Times has reverted to those pre-Titanic days when you reported that intelligent life was building the canals on Mars!
