Rush Limbaugh Pulls Anecdotal Evidence Out Of His Ass And Shoves It Down Our Throats

If Rush Limbaugh can deny the existence of Global Warming, can I deny the existence of Rush Limbaugh?

"The End of Snow?" Global Warming Scaremongers Predicted an End to the White Stuff Just Two Winters Ago:

This is a story from February 7th of 2014. I wonder how many people will remember this. February 7, 2014, two years ago coming up on two years ago, the headline, New York Times: "The End of Snow?"

"Over the next two weeks, hundreds of millions of people will watch Americans like Ted Ligety and Mikaela Shiffrin ski for gold on the downhill alpine course. Television crews..." Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they go to on talk about all the Olympic events that had to be canceled because of lack of snow, lack of snow is a big problem, lack of snow all over the world is because of climate change and global warming and could we be at the beginning of the end of no snow? The end of snow. "The same could happen in the United States, where in the Northeast, more than half of the 103 ski resorts may no longer be viable in 30 years because of warmer winters." The end of snow, New York Times, February 7th, 2014.

Using anecdotal evidence:

Using arguments such as "Wow, it's really cold today! Global warming, my ass!" or "See! It's snowing in Atlanta for the first time in years!" to argue that "global warming" misuses numerical data, since even without global warming, there are fluctuations in local temperatures. Global warming refers to an overall average increase in temperatures of air and water. Additionally, global warming will result in some local areas that are cooler, despite the global average increasing.

Strangely enough, this is a common argument used by Fox News and other right-wing organizations who often claim scientists are only using anecdotes of hot weather as proof of global warming when the exact opposite is true. Even more strange, when someone asks where the global warming is because it's snowing where they live, and someone else responds back with "It's 75 and sunny here, and I'm north of you and up in the mountains" there is often a lingering silence. Apparently anecdotal evidence isn't allowed to work both ways.

Here is the NYT link to The End Of Snow?

Rush Limbaugh cites a NYT article that was published February 7, 2014 that says "The same could happen in the United States, where in the Northeast, more than half of the 103 ski resorts may no longer be viable in 30 years because of warmer winters." Rush seems to not know the meaning of the word could. He also seems to think that the year is 2044.
