I want to be clear that the science of climate change does not mean that certain places are getting warmer, but the planet as a whole is getting warmer. so vancouver which is supposed to get snow in the olympics suddenly is at 55 degrees, and dallas suddenly is getting seven inches of snow. the idea is that as the planet as a whole gets warmer, you will start to see the changing weather patterns and that creates more violent storm systems. more unpredictable weather, so that any single place mig...

Saying, hey, its a change in weather patterns, were seeing more severe snow. at the same time we had the warmest january in 30 years. whats going on? >> well, blizzards, droughts, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, when you look at the long-term record, those things are not changing at all in terms of the long term. theyve happened before, and they will happen again. its really not an indication that climate is changing in terms of man causing any of these things. >> right. you think this is all par...

And trade is completely dead. the house passed it, a lot of folks walked the plank, alex, but it is not going to go through the senate. while these are horrendous snowstorms, the worst in washington, d.c., history, and i grew up here, this may not say anything one way or the other about global warming as a practical, political matter, when the country is buried under ice and snow repeatedly this winter, the public argument for getting cap and trade is dead. >> peter your thoughts there? >> well,...

Their own medicine here? >> well, i tell you, if you do look at the graph on the temperatures over the last 100 years, you do see it drop, and excuse me, you see it getting more warmer, actually increasing in terms of if the top of the graph is, you know, is warmer. >> yeah. >> because the problem is, though, alex, that the arguments that gore is making, and others, are based on really sound science. some of the arguments that were hearing from the other side are not really based on sound scienc...

Parts of oklahoma. and it could be another month before it is restored. the man you are about to see in the video, he is a utility supervisor and not even he can get his power turned back on. right there. pretty frustrating for a lot of folks there. more winter, in fact is on the way for the southern half of the country. storm warnings and watches including texas and alabama and beyond. jacqui jeras, who will be spared? >> yes. the northeast. okay. >> allan will be all right then. >> it is a goo...

You put all those things together -- >> and thats your snow machine. >> it is. and on top of this, tony, weve been talking about el nino and we know things have been bad in california. well, this could also be the year of the noreaster for that very same reason, the type of weather patterns that it brings into the northeast, its been one after the other after the other. >> when we get back to you a little later in the hour, lets talk about a bit of a time ryan for the intensity of this storm. ho...

There may be hope yet for the worlds games. the forecast for the cypress calls for flurries later today, and if this is a sign of changing weather patterns, maybe obama should forget chicago and start prepping d.c. for a winter bid in 2018. im sure thats circulated the beltway a few times the past few days. still ahead here, looking for heroes in the health care debate. can you lower the cost where the most expensive health care system in the world? and can you get universal coverage? can you ...

Event. the nature of slower climate an can be thought of like loading the dice in one way or another. if we have a major el nino doing on now or we have a thing called north atlantic oscillation, both of them have been happen that makes certain types of weather patterns more likely or less likely than they would be. any single storm cannot be attributed to global climate change or el nino or north atlantic oscillation. >> that point, james, doesnt it hurt your argument if somebody tries to join ...

And all over the world. there will some sceptics who will say that if a warming climate holds more moisture, how can people then blame that for other extreme weather as we have seen, say, in the united states with the heat waves, the forest fires. are they connected or are there different causes for these different extreme weather patterns? there is definitely a relationship across all of these even if they dont seem related. again, its that extreme weather. because the planet is warming you hav...
