We just had two weeks of very cold temperatures. The trick is, this one week is the first time in 16 years we’ve had what used to be “standard” January weather here. The pictures of my kids growing up with snow, and very cold temperatures, compared to even this last week, IS evidence of change. That biological systems, from rodents to trees(around the entire planet), ARE changing, sometimes drastically, is evidence having nothing to do with reliance on CO2 levels, but IS evidence of the effect.
Proving what?… that the skeptics don’t know the difference between “climate” and “weather”? Proving why the preferred term is “climate change” and not “global warming”? Proving that the cartoonist was on deadline and had nothing intelligent to say but knew it was cold out?
I do not know very many people that do not think the climate is changing it is the reason why that should be the debate. things to consider the native americans came over on the ice that connected russia and the united states, the great lakes were carved by ice flows. yes we may be changing it but on the other hand someone said that we pushing back the next ice age 20 thousand years
2012 was the warmest year on record for the continental U.S.In central FL it was second warmest (1990 was warmest here) It matters more where there is ice to melt, although the ocean (and Gulf) becoming more acid could have consequences other than just killing coral reefs.
Global Warming is the cause, climate change is the effect. A colder then average day or 2 is weather. Climate change can mean warmer winters, colder summers, or the reverse. Get you concepts correct people.
When will the climate change unbelievers get it, when the water is up to their nose? Too late then.
There is no anthropogenic global climate change. That’s the critical point. Global climate has natural cycles both long and short. we cannot affect it. Such Hubris!
Excellent cartoon. It show the typical liberal mentality, ignoring any facts that contradict global warming, as if they don’t exist. That is the only way to support such a lame theory. Ignore facts that contradict your view.
^It’s because your “facts” DON’T exist! Over 50 years of research data prove climate change is human caused, going back to earlier models and impacts in the Mediterranean that were caused by harvesting timber and grazing, warming in Southern Europe and North Africa, while coal burning caused different changes in Northern Europe, cooling from soot, at the SAME TIME!
Okay, here’s a question for the naysayers: If there is no global warming, then why is Florida experiencing warmer than normal temperatures this Winter? Only since last week have temps gone back to “normal” range, and we have a drought going on here..I expect silence…..
