MSNBC Lets Michael Mann Link Blizzard To Global Warming

On Thursday afternoon (29th December), MSNBC fill-in host Cori Coffin gave environmental alarmist Michael Mann a forum to blame “human-caused” global warming for ‘extreme weather’ events from 2022, including the blizzard that just hit the U.S.

While the segment mentioned record-high temperatures that occurred in some parts of the world, the recent record-low temperatures were not addressed.

At 1:49 p.m. Eastern, introducing a pre-recorded report by NBC weathercaster Dylan Dreyer, Coffin recalled:

The deadly Christmas storm that has the city of Buffalo still reeling was only the latest example in a year of extreme climate events here at home and across the globe.

From record flooding and heat to wildfires, snowstorms and hurricanes, 2022 had it all. NBC’s Dylan Dreyer takes a look at how climate change made a wild year for us, and the swings this year as well.

Dreyer recounted some of the extreme weather events from the year, and then tied ‘climate change’ to record-high temperatures:

Climate change causing the atmosphere to be warmer and wetter, making conditions ripe for these types of events. …

This summer was a story of extremes. Europe had its most intense heat wave in recorded history. London set a historic all-time high of 104 degrees.

After asserting that there were six “thousand-year floods” in the U.S., Dreyer concluded by also tying in the recent blizzard without mentioning that some places had temperatures at a record low:

Then, a historic and deadly bomb cyclone crippled half the country over the holidays, bringing with it plummeting temperatures, blizzard conditions lasting nearly 40 hours, and 50 inches of snow.

The storm pushed the city of Buffalo into the record books. It’s the city’s snowiest start to the season ever — at least 100 inches and counting…

After Mann was brought in live to comment, he also blamed global warming for the blizzard without mentioning just how cold it got:

“Some people think that it’s somehow inconsistent that we see these bigger snowfalls as a result of climate change and global warming, but it is entirely consistent with the underlying physics.”

The Hokey Schtick fraudster from Penn State University went on to praise the environmental regulations recently passed by the Democrat-controlled Congress:

It can be possible that we’re seeing substantial progress while there isn’t enough progress. … in the most recent U.N. climate conference in Sharm-el-Sheikh … more than a month ago where we didn’t see the sorts of commitments that we might have wanted to see to rapidly phasing out coal and other fossil fuels.

Mann loved the “aggressive” action pushed in Biden’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act:

At the same time, we saw substantial progress when it comes to dealing with the, you know, the assistance to the developing world and countries that don’t have the sort of infrastructure that we have in dealing with the impacts that they’re already feeling.

And we saw the most aggressive climate bill ever signed into law here in the United States … the climate provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act — which are going to make a real difference and bring the United States back to the lead when it comes to global climate action.

    Welcome to the Eddy Minimum the third Grand Solar Minimum since the 1600’s. Currently projected to last to 2055 or about three decades. What does a Grand Solar Minimum look like?
    Bitter Cold, Extremely Hot, 1000 Year Floods, Huge amount of Snow and Ice some locations, Droughts, High Winds, Very Large Hail, Huge to almost Complete Crop Losses, Starvation, Disease, Loss of Life, Social Upheaval, Human Migrations, Fall of Governments, Electromagnetic Displays, Increased Large Earthquakes, VEI 3 to VEI 7 or greater, Volcanic Eruptions, Atmospheric Compression, and High Cosmic Ray Environment.
    “Elliott” the recent Winter Storm is the new normal. Get yourself prepared.
    Since the early2000’s, the thesis that it’s the Sun, not us, that’s responsible for global “climate change” has been enormously strengthened by the research of astrophysicist Professor Valentina Zharkova of Northumbria University in the UK. Her research of the causes of cycles of solar activity shows the Sun has a “dual dynamo” mechanism coupled with a “quadrupole” magnetic component resulting in three solar cycles:
    *The standard magnetic cycle = ~22 yrs (the full 11 year cycle from high to low, then 11 years low back to high)
    *The Gleissberg cycle = ~90-110 yrs, avg. 100 yrs
    *The ‘Grand’ cycle = ~350-400 yrs
    Moreover, we are now at the minimum of all three, particularly the Grand, which she predicts will last from ~2020 to ~2053 (this is the approximate length of the Grand’s minimum out of the 400 years for the full cycle). Meaning we have entered a three decade-long period of Global Cooling, the opposite of Warming.
    She explains this in her paper: Modern Grand Solar Minimum Will Lead To Terrestrial Cooling.
    This is a science paper published in PubMed Central, but she explains clearly why and how we are headed for another Maunder Minimum (1645-1710) during which the Thames River in London and the Po River in northern Italy froze regularly, and all of Europe and North America went into a deep freeze.
    What could we do about it? We could put a lot more CO2 in the air to begin with. I hope Skye in the Forum will suggest other solutions.
    Meanwhile – it should be of some solace to those millions of Americans shivering in the cold and dark that at least it’s Mother Nature causing their suffering, and not some depraved evil monster shelling with artillery their electricity grid.
    Perhaps at this point we should note the irony that Dr. Zharkova is Ukrainian, graduating from Kiev National University and gaining her Ph.D. in Astrophysics at the Main Astronomical Observatory in Kiev.
