NY and Washington only towns that have snow?

Open question to news media:
Why is it that when "anyone else" gets snow it's a "weather event" but when NY City or Washington gets snow it's a "news event"?

Out here in Iowa, it's no big news when it snows, because it snows a lot every winter! It's been snowing here since last Thursday, almost six straight days. The news event here is that the sun has finally come out and blue skies are overhead (but the temperatures are still about 7 right now).

I think anywhere that got 3 feet of snow in one night and another foot or so a couple of days later would be a news event.

Why NYC? Because it is the best city in the world.

OBama's prOBably is wondering where that glOBal warming is.

[JerryNumbers]

Its big news because it proves Mr. Al Gore was wrong about glOBal warming.

Didn't you know those two cities are the most important in the country, in the world...ever? All the really important people are there so anything that effects them is of tremendous importance!

Because whether something is "news" or not depends on whether people care to read/watch it. NYC is the most populated city in the Union, Washington is where our government is located. It only makes sense that the news outlets would focus their attention there.

Not that I agree with glOBal warming exactly as Mr. Gore does, but the fact that it is snowing does not affect Mr. Gore's theory one way or the other. Mr. Gore's glOBal warming is concerned with average glOBal temperature increase, not winter weather conditions. It could snow in every USA city every day of the year for ten years straight and the earth's average temperature could continue to rise.

[Pastor Matt]

NY is the most populous metropolitan area in the United States, I guess a large storm there effects the most amount of people. The larger the area the more coverage it will receive. It all is about ratings, and Metro NY has the largest audience in the country.

According to Wiki I live in the NYC metro area. I guess that does make sense since they have a NYC commuter rail station in my city.

They are saying that this latest storm is affecting 107 million people, which they say is 1 out of 3 people in the USA, which I suppose in the media's mind makes it news worthy.

Not so; which is why Gore and Company have been busy revising their rhetoric. The original claim of glOBal warming warned that summers would be unbearably hot and winters would become extremely mild and some areas would basically lose winter. These combined would cause the earths temps to rise even faster, glaciers would melt away, the polar ice cap would be gone, the oceans would rise and flood the coasts, etc.

Well, none of this has come to pass; in fact, things have not been going that direction at all. This is why the glOBal warming crowd is trying to change themselves into the "climate change" crowd. In this way they can incorporate any climatic change, any weather incident which they can call extreme or unusual, and use that as "proof" of man-made climate change.

It is an undeniable fact that the glOBal temperature is rising. And or course the original theory of regarding climate change has taken different turns than expected. "Theory" is the key word and theories change with more scientific revelation. People that promote certain theories do not lose credibility when they test the theory and a different result occurs. That's called science. The first theories regarding heart transplants were wrong and lots of folks died, but that OBviously didn't disprove the theory that a man can receive another man's funtioning heart. And the end result of the Mr. Gore's theory cannot possibly be disproven now as it is a prediction for affects on the earth hundreds of years in the future. In other words, none of us will even be alive when the time comes to determine whether the theory is in fact true.

If Al Gore was prochoice and progun there wouldn't be a single fanatic on earth that argued with glOBal warming. It's all a bunch of games and some people have taken hard lined sides. They will not listen. They will not waiver on their uncredible beliefs.

Gorman time is the last fountain.

ptwild... "prochoice and progun"?????? do those even mix?
1.) Please tell me what pro-gun has to do with any of this?
2.) I think most of us (self included) who think all this glOBal warming stuff is "bunk" prOBably will agree that the world may be warming, but the warming is a "natural" cycle PUT IN PLACE BY OUR CREATOR and not caused by my driving my SUV.

Speaking for myself.. The glOBal warming thing is being shoved down our throats so others can grasp power, tell me what I have to do (thru law), and take a lot of my money to put in their own pockets. Again, just my view.. I could be wrong...

[ptwild]

My edit button has been been removed. I ment to write prolife, rather than pro choice.

I don't think there is any credible evidence that suggest that climate change is secondary to anyone's attempt to "grasp power." That theory sounds like extremist scare tactic propoganda.

There is no doubt that man can have a negative impact on his environment. A lot of people (and large corporations) don't like to hear this because it might limit their ability to throw their trash into rivers and streams and keep them from dumping their factory's waste onto the earth.

Again, it's all about what side you have chosen to be on. If you are prolife, you will not believe in cilmate change. If you are prochoice, you won't believe in people's unlimited right to own automatice assualt weapons. Those that control how some people think have tricked them into believing you must chose a side and everything the other side said is wrong or a lie. It's unreasonalbe and irrational.
