“Earth continues warmest winter since satellite measurements started” and “Feb should be warmest on record"

The partisan hissy fit over whether this winter's snowfall in the Eastern U.S. disproves the existence of global warming has taken an entertaining twist. Turns out one of the skeptics at Accuweather has reported that this is the warmest winter on record and the warmest February on record. 

This delighted the Climate Progress blog: "Ah, the anti-science crowd.  

"Their much-vaunted satellite data shows record smashing temperatures ....  So what’s a disinformer to do?  You either have to tie yourself in knots to explain how a rather moderate El Niño could be to blame — or go after the satellite data.  And the latter is coming, I’m sure."
