Now I realize that a single anomalous event doesn't spell proof or disproof of an environmental theory, unlike the raving lunatic anthropogenic global warming (AGW) Chicken Little's on the Left, but I find it intriguing that in this coldest year in a decade we in Houston have just experienced our earliest snowfall since 1944...that's longer than I've been alive.

good idea, Brumar, make up something that people you want to ridicule say, and then say you wouldn't stoop to say such a thing, and then say it. What a brain you have, should be pickled and preserved next to Einstein's. You are a Frank Luntz wannabe. Few things more pathetic.

Although Luntz later tried to distance himself from the Bush administration policy, it was his idea that administration communications reframe "global warming" as "climate change" since "climate change" was thought to be less alarmist. Luntz has since said that he is not responsible for what the administration has done since that time. Though he now believes humans have contributed to global warming, he maintains that the science was in fact incomplete, and his recommendation sound, at the time he made it.[6]

In a 2002 memo to President George W. Bush titled "The Environment: A Cleaner, Safer, Healthier America", obtained by the Environmental Working Group, Luntz wrote: "The scientific debate is closing [against us] but not yet closed. There is still a window of opportunity to challenge the science...Voters believe that there is no consensus about global warming within the scientific community. Should the public come to believe that the scientific issues are settled, their views about global warming will change accordingly. Therefore, you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue in the debate, and defer to scientists and other experts in the field."[7]

Memo to Brumar: Even Luntz knows now that the science has closed against the position you want to hold.
