But since as all of us climate alarmists kept pointing out in December, local weather events aren&#8217;t proof of anything.  Look for that to be the new meme of the idiocracy, if they&#8217;re ever called upon to comment on our blistering high temperatures.  Which they won&#8217;t be.<\/p>\n<p>Sheesh.  If it&#8217;s 100 degrees here in July, what will August be like?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It was only a few months ago that climate-change deniers were trumpeting the unusual snowfall in Washington, DC as proof that global warming was a hoax.

And at the time, people who understood even a little bit about science knew that climate scientists had predicted <em>exactly<\/em> what was happening: more extreme weather events, everywhere.  Extreme snow, extreme rain, extreme heat.  Now an early-July heat wave is debilitating cities throughout the Northeast.  Is the heat wave proof of global warming?  No \u2014 local weather doesn&#8217;t prove anything by itself.  But the fact that more places all over the globe are experiencing unusual and destructive weather than ever before is a confirmation that climatologists had it right all along.
