“The comment I dislike the most is when people talk about cold weather and people type “So much for global warming…” Not really a joke to me. Also, it proves someone doesn’t have the understanding of the definition of weather vs climate. You’ll see people type that a lot in the next week or two on professional meteorologists’ social media pages.”
Anyone that refutes Climate change is not very smart. We are coming out of an Ice Age, things will change just like they have long before man was on this Earth. If man survives long enough we’ll have peach farms in Canada and many man made reefs when Florida is covered by the ocean.
Where the rub comes in is the botched science of believing that Man is speeding up a natural process. Maybe we are, maybe we are not? Not enough data to prove it. When we get some more hard core scientific data over the next few thousand years then we’ll know. But no matter Earth will continue to warm up unless we have a major catastrophe.
The so called experts have gone from Global cooling to global warming and now climate change. Because there is no denying climate CHANGE. Of course the climate changes…DUH
I dont trust anyone that is getting paid to do theses “studies”. I am positive there has never been a study published that completely debunks the payers views.
ED never discusses climate change when it doesn’t match the weather. I know he would argue that weather is not climate, but this cold goes from coast to coast and involves most of North America
I’ve never debated climate change, I believe it is constantly changing. I do debate the whacko lib views however. Going from “warming”, to “cooling” to “change” just shows that they know far less than they think they do and, like typical liberals, just keep changing terminology to suit their agenda.
“Apathy is the Glove into Which Evil Slips It’s Hand”, but really, who cares?
So y’all are saying this cat doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about? Ok.

I worked for the Atomic Energy Commission at Princeton University in the 60’s and we achieved 1Million degress centigrade in the lab; the temp of the sun. A single mini volcano on sun’s surface sends 1m degree heat wave to earth. That one event will do more that any cow farting.
If global warming is caused by man then how did the ice age disappear? We were not on earth to warm it so what did warm it? Maybe a sunburst.

this cat is one of the foremost experts on CLIMATE…and I love to hear him break it down…he can speak to simple people like me and PeePod without making us feel stupid…what I think is most important in all of this is the difference between WEATHER and CLIMATE…
So y’all are saying this cat doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about? Ok.
Hey Polly, bolbie, toppy, robert, something… No one with any Ioto of a brain will not disregard climate change…
How about your big argument years ago about some trees dying in a coastal area and freaking out? Remember? i do.
Our coast is constantly changing, all you have to do is check out Google Earth’s timeline, there is nothing you can do about it. It is a natural occurrence. Got a big house on the coast? too bad, it will probably get washed away. It’s nature, just like the deer rut. It varies from time to time.
You need to find some time to spend with good ole Al Gore! Bet you two would hit it off. Wonder if he is an atheist?
How the Hello is man going to change this?! We won’t! Good gracious. It is going to happen BO!
Let the CO2 rise, I’m looking forward to it, plants will love it!@!
