    My work computer has that thing in the taskbar telling you about news and the weather. I swear it tells me about a record high temperature for this day several times a week.

      I know many people who deny the climate is changing. They will use a freak snow storm to show the weather is the same.

      When I was a kid it started to get cold in October, it would snow in December and be there till February in most cases. I have years of photos, so it’s not just my memory.

      Now, if it snows, it lasts a few days tops. In December, i can be out side grilling in shorts. I don’t mind people having different opinions as to the cause or the way to fix it, but to deny it is even happening is mind-blowing.

        no, it is not just your memory…

        The climate is really complex, and is the poster child for chaos theory. One of the weird things is that more snow storms and unseasonally cold weather is an expected result of global average temparature rises.

        It’s one of the reasons it’s better to say “climate change” instead of “global warming”, to help ease the confusion.

          But see, scientists changed the messaging, which means that they don’t know what they’re talking about! Also, they used to be worried about global cooling! How can you trust someone that keeps changing their story when they get new information?!?

            I love the term “scientists”, because it’s so poorly defined it can mean whoever you want it to mean.

          My favorite is all the predictions were wrong.

          We can’t ever figure out the weather accurately in a local region. So yeah, figuring out the global weather is going to much harder.

          I don’t deny climate change. I don’t know if it man, the sun or something else. I have opinions but I think the debate is still. We need to first all agree things are changing which to me is obvious but we can’t get agreement on that.
