The right-wing noise machine is sure that a snowstorm in December is proof of something, they're just split on what exactly.

Newt Gingrich became the latest to play the ridiculous "it's snowing so global warming must be a hoax" card. Gingrich took to Twitter - where he's been schooled before - on Saturday morning to share a few thoughts about the storm:

newtgingrich As callista and i watched what dc weather says will be 12 to 22 inches of snow i wondered if God was sending a message about copenhagen

newtgingrich After the expanding revelations of dishonesty in climategate having a massive snow storm as obama promises our money to the world is ironic

Of course as Media Matters has pointed out ad infinitum, individual storms have nothing to do with human-caused climate change.
