Weather Channel says manmade climate change a factor in dispute with DirecTV
Tuesday morning 20 million subscribers to DirecTV found The Weather Channel missing from their viewing options. The weather network has cited its need to sound the manmade climate change alarm as one of the reasons it needs to be available to the satellite provider’s subscribers.
Some have said that global warming and manmade climate change will bring an increase in “extreme weather” events.
David Kenny, chairman and CEO of The Weather Company, said in a statement today, “This reckless move by DIRECTV will have an impact on our role as part of the national safety and preparedness fabric of our country at a time when the volatility and frequency of weather events seems to be increasing.”
While not overtly mentioning climate change, the implication is there.

White House: ‘Polar vortex’ cold likely linked to manmade climate change
Amid the record-setting cold being seen across much of the United States, the White House dispatched one of its top science officials to try to convince Americans that global warming is occurring and may in fact be responsible for the cold.
In a video published to the White House’s website and YouTube yesterday, Dr. John Holdren, President Barack Obama’s science advisor says, “If you’ve been hearing that extreme cold spells, like the one we’re having in the United States now, disproves global warming, don’t believe it.”
Scientists however have been struggling to explain the lack of ‘extreme weather’ or increasing temperatures. Alarmists seem to want to tie any type of event to manmade climate change now.

U.S. Coast Guard deployed to rescue global warming expedition and its rescuers
A Russian research ship stuck in expanding Antarctic ice and a Chinese ice breaker sent to help have put out calls for further assistance and the U.S. Coast Guard is responding.
The Akadmik Shokalskiy became stuck in the ice on December 24. Tourists, scientists and journalists were on board the Russian ship conducting global warming research.
Chinese icebreaker Xue Long was dispatched to rescue the trapped researchers. Using its helicopters it was able to airlift dozens of passengers to a second rescue ship, the Aurora Australis, on Thursday. However, the Xue Long soon found itself stuck in the expanding ice.
Last week the Australian government asked the United States for assistance in clearing the way for the two ships and yesterday it was announced the U.S. Coast Guard would dispatch one of its largest ships to help.

Disturbing Greenpeace Santa issues appeal to save his home from climate change
Global warming has prompted Santa Claus to issue an urgent appeal to children to help save his home in the Arctic. In a new video from the radical environmental group Greenpeace, the jolly old elf hardly looks like himself as he announces, “I bring bad tidings.”
With labored breaths, Santa says, “For some time now melting ice, here, at the North Pole has made our operations and our day to day life intolerable and impossible and there may be no alternative but to cancel Christmas.”
The timing of Greenpeace’s video is arguably not the best.
The Arctic sea ice minimum, reached in September, saw a 49% increase over the previous year. That represents an increase of 653,000 square miles giving Santa and the reindeer quite a bit more snow and ice to play on and use to prepare for Christmas.

Website claims snowstorms at World Cup events are evidence of climate change
After years of saying ‘weather isn’t climate,’ climate change alarmists now routinely seize on mundane weather events to promote their cause. Latest is website Quartz.com which fretted about how recent snows in Colorado and Ireland portend climate change’s impact on sports and the globe and then follows it up with a ridiculous claim of temperatures 40 degrees above normal in Brazil.

CNN anchor suggests link between global warming and close passing asteroid
Asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass extraordinarily close to Earth on Friday, within 17,200 miles of the planet. In discussing the massive rock hurtling by Earth, one CNN anchor yesterday inexplicably tried to link the celestial event with terrestrial global warming.
