Climategoons hard at work. Snow along the East Coast in October – must be GlobaloneyWarming. Co2 which is less than 1 % of atmospheric gases must be 'trapping' cold air and preventing the 'natural' cycles of er.... weather patterns including early winters from occurring because the warming causing the cooling don't you know.....geniuses.

Nearly 30cm of snow fell in parts of Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey, authorities said.

In Manhattan, where the storm marked the first October snow in decades, forecasters said up to 10 inches could fall.

In Maryland and West Virginia, some towns already had 25cm on the ground as of 2000 GMT Saturday, the weather service said.

"I don't remember any time I saw snow in October, and I've lived here all my life," said 42-year-old Baltimore area resident Ethan Yankellow.

The National Weather Service reported up to 11cm in northern Baltimore County, as much as 15cm in Carroll County and up to 22cm in Allegany County.

Unseasonably cold air was pouring into the northeast, and deep tropical moisture was set to surge northward along the east coast and "fuel an expanding area of heavy rain and snow", the NWS said.

Since warming causes cooling and cooling causes warming, GlobaloneyWarming is proof that mankind must be culled and its numbers forcibly reduced. The worst of the cult comes out of 'BEST':

Earlier this month, the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) research team blitzed the world with a very well-planned and coordinated press release touting its findings on global warming. Its peer-reviewed citations? None.

BEST is a group of non-climatologist scientists who have received more than $600,000 to reinvent the climate wheel, i.e., to take the existing surface-temperature histories that pretty much all climate scientists use and determine if things are heating up. They have written up their findings in four manuscripts that have been sent to peer-reviewed American Geophysical Union journals. All are in the very early stages of review. None has been published.

Why the press release? Why not wait for the peer-review process to legitimize the work?

Was it designed to influence public opinion before the next United Nations climate conference in South Africa in a month? It certainly got coverage, landing BEST in the Economist, the online versions of the NewYorkTimes and the Washington Post and myriad other venues. The bottom line in most of the accounts: Climate change skeptics can all go away now; global warming is real.

Big surprise. Non Scientists using tax money to get more tax money on yet more studies all with the foreordained non-scientific conclusion: GlobaloneWarming is real and deniers need to be gassed.
