Not a very sound argument but I guess some could find it funny.

I'm not sure if he is a bold-faced liar or just too stupid to realize that when Earth's core temp climbed to several million degrees recently, the surface was bound to warm a tad as well.
As for the snow, I am SOOOOO jealous!
If it would snow like that here in the next 8 hours I'd have tomorrow off.
I would REALLY like to sit through one of them lake effect storms like they get in Buffalo.
10 or 12 feet of snow would be sweet.

I find it quite ironic that the week of the Copenhagen conference on global warming (sic), the US suffers one of the worst snow storms in many years. I still remember all the horror stories they threw at us as kids about the coming ice age and all the theories as to how to avert same. Blather...
All it takes is the sun to become slightly more or less active and we get pseudoscientists running around telling us it's all our fault. (And con artists cashing in on the crisis du jour.)

Yeah, the science is settled. I'm still waiting for the first of their predicitions to come true before I start in on the second, third and fourth waves of their mutating predictions.
Global warming was about the seas engulfing the coastal towns and cities. Earthquakes. Mosquitoes in alpine towns. Malaria pandemics. CO2 emissions unlike anything in history. Blizzards and record snow is just the latest mutation of the claims, because we all know that when the earth's ocean temperatures rise we get HUGE hurricanes, and HUGE snow. But wait, a few decades ago that was what happened when the earth was cooling off...and an ice age was coming if we didn't act then.
So which is it? Or do we really not understand climate change that has been oscillating for a few billion years and of which we have less than 0.0000001% of the data possibly available??
Even if we have 300 years of rock hard unimpeachable data, there are still ~4,499,999,700 years of data that we are missing.
I'd say that the earth is acting normally, and changing some emissions gasses from humans now is not going to effect it that much one way another. It's also certainly not going to do anything if India, China, Korea and Russia continue to vent R12 and equivalents to atmosphere completely unchecked, and they continue to pollute industrially with unfiltered coal, and natural gas burning.
All that being said, lighten the hell up. It's a funny poster!!!

It's only ironic to those who have little understanding of "global warming" or more accurately called "global climate change". More extreme weather (hot or cold) gives the scenario more credibility.
I'm not going to say that pollution is causing it, I'm not scientist and there are too many variables to account for. What I can say with a high degree of confidence is that we need to be paying attention, because if our climate tilts in one direction too much, it could be like hitting the reset button. Then again, Earth could be a whole lot more resilient than some think. It's better to err on the side of caution.

There is a whole lot of that phrase going around. Spending trillions on something that nobody has even a passing guess on, is pretty stupid.
It could also be nothing at all, no measurable change or effect for the next 20,000 years.
The EPA now says that excess CO2 is the culprit. That's ironic, considering the devices which they mandate on all cars in the US produce CO2 as a primary byproduct -- the catalytic converter takes the CO and catalyzes it to CO2.
