Heavy Snowfall in Burlington, Vermont Disproves Global Warming


Burlington, Vermont -
Climatologists are scratching their heads - and shoveling their driveways - after a heavy snowstorm in Burlington, Vermont dumped record amounts of soft, fluffy snow throughout the area, while instantly debunking the theory of human-caused climate change. The snowfall, which is still occurring, had added up to around 28 inches as of 9 AM this morning.

"I sure hope those Al Gore-Worshiping Liberals have learned their lesson!", said LimbaughLover361 on a weather message board. "Clearly Burlington would not be at risk of breaking an all time single-storm snowfall record if the climate was warming! HA!"

The idea that humans are increasing global temperatures by emitting so-called 'greenhouse gases' has been around since at least the time of Obama's election, when, critics say, it was concocted as part of a ploy to create global hegemony. However, the theory was called into question in December when heavy snow fell on the eastern seaboard, including Washington DC. However, climate scientists were not convinced. The final nail in the coffin of this theory has turned out to be the heavy snowfall occurring in parts of the western Champlain Valley of Vermont.

Not everyone is convinced, however. Local naturalist Sam Ispa-Bushell was quoted as saying "Wow, that IS a lot of snow! I was trying to commune with the full moon in Centennial Woods last night and almost got lost due to the deep snow! Thankfully, my friend had a fully functional GPS-linked knife-compass combo that got us home safely. But I thought part of the reason for the heavy snowfall was the fact that Lake Champlain isn't frozen yet. Couldn't that be a sign of climate change in and of itself?" It is likely that liberals will continue to backpedal in this manner for the next few days; however, they can only do so for so long before they see reason and go back to studying the effect of snow on geese cloacas, or something.

Local Winooski resident John Dinglepuff also commented on the snowfall, saying "If those lazy polar bears can't find ice they should come to my house and find my car! Maybe they can dig it out of this snwowbank for me!" However, evidence later indicated that his car had been towed away because it was obstructing snowplows, and the pile of snow he was angrily shoveling was in fact, just a snow-covered trash can.
