EU Seeks Answers On Snow Nightmare -- Not a Bakken Story

That's the headline: EU Seeks Answers For Snow Nightmare

I can't make this stuff up. As expected "they" are blaming the current snowstorm and record cold spell on global warming -- too much water vapor (not CO2 this time). Water vapor is a much bigger component of greenhouse gases than CO2.

The snow nightmare is not unexpected. When governments spend a decade planning for global warming while failing to prepare for a more likely scenario, this is not a surprise. Anyone with a Farmer's Almanac would have known that winter storms would be a bigger issue than global warming. Sort of reminds me of the fable of the ant and the grasshopper.

Just saying.
