The House Energy and Climate Finance and Policy Division has been holding hearings on global warming. To what end, is not yet clear. But on January 15, several purported experts testified about what Minnesota can expect, in terms of weather and climate, in years to come. Their testimony was based on models, of course, not on actual observation. And we already know the models are wrong, since their predictions have been far off the mark for some years. But global warming alarmists are undeterred by reality.

You can watch the video of the committee hearing here. At the 43:30 mark, witness Tracy Twine completes her testimony. The first question comes from DFL Representative John Persell of Bemidji. This is the colloquy:

(Snip)

Then we come to Ms. Twine’s unfortunate reference to the “warm winter” that we are enjoying. That characterization was ill-timed, as we are now seeing headlines like Coldest air in 23 years? Currently the forecast for the Twin Cities calls for brutal cold, including three consecutive days this week when the temperature will not rise above zero, with lows of more than 20 below.

In Rep. Persell’s Bemidji, the forecast for Tuesday is a high of 20 degrees below zero, and a low of 35 degrees below zero. No doubt anthropogenic global warming is to blame!

If you are interested in climate issues, you should subscribe to the Science and Environmental Policy Project’s The Week That Was. The linked email, from last week, points out that despite huffing and puffing by supposed experts who rely on discredited models rather than empirical observation, there has been “no statistically significant warming” of the atmosphere in the current century.

Which is too bad, if you live in Bemidji.
