Twelve Grumps of Christmas: Extreme Weather = Climate Change is a Myth

"a trend. i.e. the climate is changing....." Agreed...happens all the time on planet Earth. ".....and almost certainly because of careless human activity. " Not so much agreed on. Human civilization has been on earth for less than 0.0001%(not a made up number) of the time Earth has existed. To say this period of climate change is caused by humans when the tens of thousands of other climate change periods were not, is pure speculation and conjuncture. I can point to plenty of other scientists who agree with that notion. To say something is "settled science" requires broad concurrence and that is something we simply do not see. In fact, there are 5 times as many scientists who say it's nonsense as there are that believe climate change is anthropological. **Wanders off to carve lumps of coal in to carrot shape and paint them orange....

Too many people, too much farting, that's my theory. Well maybe not really.

Instead of focusing on some snow storm maybe we should be focus on the disappearing North pole ice, which is producing the fable northwest passage. We could also focus on what is going on in Russia right now. No, we chose to focus on a snow storm that happens when it is suppose to be snowing, ridiculous.

I think the weather is consistently inconsistent. Climate change, possibly. I am not one to say it is not happening. I think it has happened for years. Do we need to straighten up and take care of our environment, yes we do. This is not just something we see in the winter, but we see it year around. I think the most that we know is that we do not really know much at all.

I so agree! Careless human activity. Running these big cars with all the bells and whistles and the emmissions too. We are a nation of spoiled folk. All the water we use, and the power, and the debt the country is in and alot of people as well. Hope you have a nice holiday old friend.

Send some global warming my way. PLEASE. Usually here all the kids need in the winter is a light jacket. It stays in the 50s usually. The low tonight is suppost to be 24 and the high tomorrow is suppost to be 39. That is WAY cold for here. Last winter it was colder than usual too and we got snow one day which had not happened in like 10 years. They are already talking about snow again this year. Hope this trend ends. I HATE SNOW. I HATE cold weather. I moved this far south to get away from it. But it looks like it followed it...I say that is stalking..I think I should be able to get a restraining order for that. No weather colder than 50 is allowed no nearer than 3miles to me at anytime. Know a judge that would go along with that?

The conservative newspapers and Fox News can't wait every year until we have the first "major" snow storm that makes news so they can go on and on about how it totally debunks the whole theory of "global warming". I wish the term "climate change" had been used more frequently years ago instead of "global warming" because that's the only thing the right and other deniers focus on. Ooh, it's cold somewhere, it snowed in the northeastern U.S. or the midwest or somewhere else where it snows all the time, so that proves the earth isn't getting warmer. Therefore, we're off the hook, we can drill, baby, drill wherever we wish to our hearts' content and continue to do everything we can to waste energy and cause more pollution - at least the followers of Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity will because that's actually what their idiotic "heroes" tell them to do just to somehow spite Al Gore! You're absolutely right, they're not ten; every ten year old I know is far more mature than they are. Annie

yes, the climate is changing, In JA we got rain in October and May. These were the rainy months. The grounds would be prepared and we would plant to make sure the banana suckers took root. rainy old time - in fact it is raining right now. The hurricane season ends in November and two years ago we had a hurricane in December.We all thought that we had heard the weather forecast wrong but it came for true why people cannot except what is happening is a mystery to me.

You are definitely right there. Global warming is not just about the temperatures getting hotter. It is about these changes flowing on to create other weather patterns which in turn create more different weather patterns. The whole world is connected. Methane from cows and other food producing animals, landfill and other sources as well as deforestation and a loss of the worlds topsoil can cause weather patterns to change in areas that seem far removed from the source! Climate change is real! The hottest ten years on record globally have occurred in the last 12 years!
