One hurricane or one blizzard are not abnormal. But when you get several one in a hundred year events in one year, you have to wonder. And only idiots would dismiss them as being meaningless, particularly when climatologists have been predicting extreme weather will become more frequent.
There’s a point at which ignorance is no longer an excuse for running this stupid gag. Come on, man. Read something. Think. This is disgracefully lazy and foolish.
If you ever wanted an example of poor marketing in science, calling the phenomenon “global warming” when it can create colder temperatures as well has to be the top of the list. Should have gone with “global climate change” from the start.
only onguard would be egotistical enough to believe what he wants and deny what is before his eyes.humans can and do change the climate in their environment, dramtically.the pollution in beijing is a natural occurance?ever see the summer smog in Los Angeles?how about a hot air inversion in NYC?have you seen where the israeli’s turned a barren desert into the land of milk and honey by planting trees?have you seen the clear cut parts of the amazon river turned into desert?Have you flown over the north pole decades ago or today?i have. humans can definately change the climate and the sad fact is, we all know it.

Except, of course, that global warming will cause extreme fluctuations in all weather…including blizzards in New England in February.

Maybe someone should explain life’s complex issues to Payne, like well, the meaning of a “STOP” sign?

Wow, it appears ignorance is not bliss. It appears that ignorance leads to tortured denials.
