I’m not sure how, but I’m sure this proves global warming is real:

Much of the nation awoke to frigid weather Monday as below-freezing temperatures threatened to shatter records across the South.

“We’re seeing freeze warnings not just into Central Florida, but down into the Everglades,” CNN meteorologist Rob Marciano said.

Hard freeze warnings were in effect for much of the Florida Peninsula and the Southeast, according to the National Weather Service. Record lows were expected in the Gulf Coast states and into southern Florida, said CNN meteorologist Sean Morris.

Temperatures in parts of South Carolina got down to 14 on Sunday, Morris said, breaking the record low of 18 set in 1979.

The Big Chill is far from over.

“More arctic air will move in this week,” Morris said. “It will get progressively colder in the Southeast.”

Two things about the whole global warming thing. First, are we really sure it’s happening? I mean, the weathermen can’t predict the weather for today correctly. Are we really placing our faith in people predicting the temperature 100 years from now? I’m just sayin’.

Secondly, even if global warming is really happening, which current weather trends should be creating some serious doubt, are we really sure that it’s caused by humans and carbon emissions? I’m not quite convinced.

Taking those two items into consideration, does anyone else think that, perhaps, we shouldn’t be moving forward with the tax and trade legislation? Once again, I’m just sayin’. How dumb do these politicians really think we are? Like the health care “reform” bill, could this legislation just be another way for them to expand government power? Just a thought.
