In politics, much as with a Broadway chorus line, timing is everything. That’s a lesson that current EPA Director, Gina McCarthy will probably take to heart after this one. As the northeast braces for what is being described as a potentially historic snowstorm, Ms. McCarthy spent the beginning of her weekend huddling with environmental activists with a clear message. These climate change deniers will ruin the ski industry because we’re going to run out of snow.

Meanwhile, in completely unrelated news, more than 2,000 airline flights have been cancelled. The Big Apple has already begun shutting down the subways and the commuter trains. Boston has cancelled school until at least Thursday before more than the first few flakes have come down. And tens of millions are stocking up in case the power is out until the weekend.

 

The bottom line is that the weather is frequently wild and unpredictable. But if you’re in the Obama administration and you want to go around giving speeches about the evils of carbon emissions, you need to keep an eye on the optics. Global warming has essentially stalled for over a decade, and scientists are still struggling to work out what’s going on. But when you are fighting to push regulatory restrictions based on science which is still up in the air, the public will frequently believe their own lying eyes rather than what you have to say.

It didn't turn out to be as historic as they'd hoped, but this is still funny.

I am forced to disagree. The was in fact historic...It was the largest snow fall and deadliest storm in NY City on Jan. 26 2015

 

In fact I am will...no eager to go waaaaay out on a limb and say we will never see a raaaageing blizzard like this again
