Why the public no longer believes in Global Warming

In the Northeast, the general rule of thumb is that you won't see a snowflake before Thanksgiving, and you won't see snow on the ground before Christmas.  People grow up with this, and while there's year to year variation, it's something that everyone understands in their bones.

And so now listen to the "Global Warming is wrecking the Planet" and "6 of the hottest years in the last century were in the last decade" bloviating that people hear from the Press.  You know why none of this sticks?  Because people also hear this from the Press:

Biggest Snowstorm of the year threatens Northeast:

Another round of wintry weather will slug the eastern half of the United States starting Friday, threatening to leave as much as a foot of snow by Sunday.

“We will see a lot of winter storm warnings being issued with this,” Michael Palmer, a lead meteorologist with The Weather Channel told NBC News. The station has already issued a severe winter weather alert from Missouri through to Maine on Thursday night.

“Boston will probably be the worst hit in terms of cities, in the 4-to-8-inch range,” he added. “In Philadelphia and New York City, we will see probably 3 to 5 inches of snow accumulation. It will be the biggest storm in terms of accumulating snow that we have seen in the Northeast this winter.”

And this is the second snow storm on the east coast so far this year.  We're not even half way through December.  No wonder nobody pays attention anymore - what they hear doesn't jive with what they see, and so they tune it out.

Yeah, yeah - weather vs. climate, yadda yadda.  I'd be more impressed with this argument if people who believe in Global Warming didn't seize on every warm summer week as proof of ZOMGTHERMAGEDDON!!!!1!!eleventy!!!
