Has anyone else noticed that almost every time there is a big global warming "summit" that God seems to be mocking the lefties with extream winter weather? I noticed this long before the current Copenhagen cap & tax summit, but here we are again...Copenhagen is having a blizzard at exactly the same time as this fiasco is going on.
I heard on the radio that it hasn't snowed in Copenhagen for 14 years but I haven't been able to confirm that. If that were the case, I'd love to know for sure, as that would be pretty undeniably God.
Whether it's snowed in Copenhagen for the last 14 years or not, I do believe God is mocking Al Gore and the whole "climate change" religion, and I love it.

It was 51F outside today, where I am. Extreme, perhaps, but not quite in the direction you are suggesting.
"Whether it's snowed in Copenhagen for the last 14 years or not, I do believe God is mocking Al Gore and the whole "climate change" religion, and I love it. "
So, you admit that your god is a whiney, impotent, petty asshole, then?
Yeah you are right, your "god" does this for giggles. He'll warm the average temperature up to scare people then as soon as they have these big expensive meetings of concerned countries he plummets these average temperatures and he and his angels literally roll about the floors of heaven pissing themselves laughing...
Sooo, god is mocking people who accept global warming, which says weather will be more extreme as the climate changed, by making the weather more extreme?
Methinks you don't understand irony.
If there would be extreme winter weather, that would only confirm the theory that we've fucked up the climate, stupid.
Plus, it often snows in Scandinavia at this time of the year. Three years ago there came lots of snow just before Christmas in the southern regions of Sweden, very, very close to Copenhagen (there's a bridge between Malmoe, Sweden, and Copenhagen, Denmark, that's how close it is). 3 years is not the same as 14 years.
12 years ago we had a huge snowstorm in the Gothenburg region, 300 km north of Copenhagen (it might have hit the Copenhagen/Malmoe region too, I don't remember). About three feet of snow came in one single night. Believe me, a bit of snow is not "extream winter weather" in Scandinavia.
> Copenhagen is having a blizzard at exactly the same time as this fiasco is going on.
It's called winter . It happens every year. Global warming doesn't mean that winters stop happening.
I'm in northern Finland and we got snow really late this year and really gentle weather... then boom, huge blizzards 23rd December. That's pretty messed up.
> I heard on the radio that it hasn't snowed in Copenhagen for 14 years but I haven't been able to confirm that.
Let me hazard a guess and say that's incorrect.
Yeah, because your Imaginary Friend hasn't got anything better to do than mock Al Gore, right?
You people are beyond stupid.
Then why was it so fucking hot this winter in Queesland (Australia)? Seriously we get some cold winters, but I can't remember the last time it was 34*C (93*F). Remember, this is winter we are talking about. I remember freezing my nuts off in August 2008, and yet in August 2009 the sweat was dripping off me.
So, who was "God" mocking there? Or doesn't the Southern Hamisphere count when it conflicts with your anecdotal evidence?
Funny, it was warm and spring-like where I live up until the end of November, when it's usually snowy and cold by the time Halloween rolls around. We've only had a few days where it was extremely cold, and it wasn't until recently that we got a large snowfall. Right now, the weather is actually pretty mild.
At any rate, snowy weather has nothing to do with climate change. The planet isn't literally heating up to 50+ degrees, it's the ocean temperatures and melting arctic ice that are the concern. Both of these will lead to more violent weather patterns, which would actually make winter storms WORSE.
what annoys me about these people is that they'll be the first in line demanding protection, "something done" if the worst does come about.
Even without CC we are running out of foosil fuels, and are more dependant on unstable regimes (at least in Europe!); it makes sense to plan and change behaviour now before it's an even bigger challenge.
As good Xins, these morons ought to be looking to be "good custodians of the world" rather than the spendthrifts and vandals they seem to be.
Or is it the other way round?, have you noticed that, now that they´re alerting of global warming and that, due to that, temperatures are going to extremes, precisely happens that IN COPENHAGEN?
Yeah! That's the way I like it. God mocks me and I mock God. Fair's fair. Course, I haven't any evidence that God mocks me, nor have I ever seen Him do it but I expect He gets His minions to do it for Him.
It's a tiring business conjuring up snow storms, one needs to gather sufficient snowflakes (each flake to be magicked into existence and each one to be unique), generate strong enough winds (takes a fair bit of puff), remember the words to the blizzard spell, make artistic decisions on the amount and the quality of thunder and lightning, if any, etc. No wonder He gets His minions to do stuff, the bugger's probably knackered after all that.
PS. My comment or the original quote or possibly both may be confusing God with Thor.
A quick google search of 'Copenhagen snowfall' reveals that the city gets 9 days of snow, on average, in December alone. Thirteen in January.
Some claims are a lot easier than others to debunk...
Uh, yeah, that's why there are 10+ degrees C over here in Eastern Europe, RIGHT NOW IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING WINTER!
'Cause global warming is a lie.
The funny thing is, if the global warming was all a scam, there's no way they would have held the conference in in one of the Nordic countries during winter. It seems like an odd choice nevertheless, because it was obvious the doubters would wonder about the relatively cold local climate and the deniers would use it as extra ammunition.
Global warming doesn't mean "OMG IT'LL NEVER SNOW AGAIN!"
It means the temperature will get warmer over many years, sometimes only a degree or two a year.
Just because it snowed in Denmark this year doesn't mean a damn thing.
I always think it's cute when religionists consider everything that they disagree with to be a competing religion. I also get the chuckles when they accuse people of blindly following certain books, people, or ideologies. These are usually people who want to talk about Darwin being racist, or claim a deathbed conversion (apparently thinking it changes something or that people give a fuck). Some things that fundies do are annoying, but these types of instances are just plain entertaining. It’s not really the pot calling the kettle black, it’s a bit like the pot doesn’t even realize that other colors exist.
1)Al gore is completely irrelevant to the science about AGW
2)fucked up freak weather is a predicted result of AGW
3)AGW ironically would probably mean a new Ice Age for Europe. Americans keep forgetting how far north Europe is. Copenhagen is only a couple degrees south of Churchill, Canada; you know, the place with the polar bears!
"Has anyone else noticed that almost every time there is a big global warming "summit" that God seems to be mocking the lefties with extream winter weather?"
Have any fundies noticed that "extream" weather is one of the results of global warming? You think maybe god is trying to tell you something? But you're too stupid to notice?
1. I'm sure god loves to mock people for having political views that have nothing to do with belief/non-belief in gods.
2. The key word is "global" knuckle-dragger. Fact: global temperatures are on the rise. Controversy: how much of it is man-made and how much can we stop it?
OMG IT'S SNOWING IN WINTERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLWTFBBQ
"Whether anything actually happened or not, I'm choosing to believe God is mocking everyone I disagree with. It's the only thing that distracts me from the fact that my life is complete misery and it's all my fault for being a fucking moron."
Okay, moron, let's get it straight with a very simple explanation.
It's not "global warming" because that's not the same thing as "global climate change." Global warming, as a term, came about earlier as a result of fears that continued emissions of greenhouse gases would produce a runaway greenhouse effect globally - similar to what happened to Venus in the distant past. Global climate change is the term used now because it more accurately reflects what is really going on right now, at this moment - that our actions are producing climate changes.
With global climate change you expect to see severe winter storms, for nearly the same reasons that a mild winter storm can suddenly turn into 2 feet of snow in places like Buffalo, NY. When the climate gets warmer and warmer in the tropical zones, more storms are produced - in turn generating more evaporate in the atmosphere for those storms, which then, as they move north, dump even more precipitate on the ground. In addition, the more you heat up the atmosphere, the more turbulence globally that gets produced - so when Arctic winds start blowing southward, they do so with a greater reach (temporarily) because there is much more overall motion to the earth's atmosphere.
So yes, even with global climate change, you'll get incredibly severe winter storms in the midst of some other regions experiencing higher than normal temperatures. Global climate change is not about global warming, it is about global weather extremes.
"Whether it's snowed in Copenhagen for the last 14 years or not, I do believe God is mocking Al Gore and the whole "climate change" religion, and I love it."
How many babies starved to death or died of diseases on Earth that day? How many little girl and boy child prostitutes were horifically abused? How many depressed people committed suicide?
And the best use of time for your all powerful god was to kick up some snow in fucking northern Europe, in fucking winter?
Tell me again, why do you worship that asshole?
I hope everyone realizes the 'no snow in Copenhagen for 14 years thing' is complete Lying-For-Jesus.
It's a Scandinavian city on the Baltic for christ sake, it snows all the time. According to the BBC, it's going to snow there Wednesday!

It still hasn't dawned on you retards that it's called Global Climate Change and not simplistically Global Warming. Extreme weather can range from too hot to too cold, with wild stormy weather where none used to happen.
God has nothing to do with the weather. Those of us with a modicum of education realize that thunder gods are a myth.
" ... I heard on the radio that it hasn't snowed in Copenhagen for 14 years ..."
No you didn't. What your lard and slaver Flush Slimeball said is that Copenhagen has not had a white Christmas for the past 14 years. (Big, fat, hairy deal but a hell of a difference.)

If you're going to take your marching orders from a right-wing jerk, you'd better scoop the wax out of your ears and listen up. Otherwise, you might miss that all-important program where he orders you to kill all the normals and your fellow funditards will come after YOU for failing to join in the massacre!
Since one of the predictions of global warming is more extreme weather, what makes him think it's the "lefties" being mocked by a Copenhagen blizzard? If Jesus himself appeared in the sky and announced that the Rapture Ready fundamentalist were all full of crap, these people would still find a way to twist it so that God appeared to agree with them.
I have only worn my winter coat for two weeks, maybe three. Usually I would use it to and fro from October on. Not all the time, but once in a while, and certainly all of December.
If it wasn't for the Gulf Stream, we would probably be having permanent ice up here in Scandinavia.
My city is situated at about the height of central Canada, only about 500 km south of Ancorage, Alaska.
Wow, it snowed in Denmark in December, who would of though?
If it hasn't snowed in Copenhagen (which I don't believe from a fundie site) then wouldn't that be a sign of global warming?
Also you do realize that in the northern regions warming means more snow because it doesn't snow at really cold temperatures. The air can't hold any moisture.
Yeah, if only I wanted to sign up for their forum and give them some actual "learning."
"It is usually impossible to connect specific weather events to global warming. Instead, global warming is expected to cause changes in the overall distribution and intensity of events, such as changes to the frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation. Broader effects are expected to include glacial retreat, Arctic shrinkage, and worldwide sea level rise. Some effects on both the natural environment and human life are, at least in part, already being attributed to global warming. A 2001 report by the IPCC suggests that glacier retreat, ice shelf disruption such as that of the Larsen Ice Shelf, sea level rise, changes in rainfall patterns, and increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events are attributable in part to global warming.[67] Other expected effects include water scarcity in some regions and increased precipitation in others, changes in mountain snowpack, and some adverse health effects from warmer temperatures.[68]"
As a meteorologist myself, I agree. Did you also notice that when Bama Baby stepped off the plane, he faced the swirling snowstorm in Wash DC - I think that set a record for the worst Dec snowstorm? So confirmed and doubled.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
