Forget the Olympics. Want to watch records being broken? Turn on the weather report.
Everywhere you look, Mother Nature is grumpy. Even skeptics are starting to come around. While no hurricane or heat wave is direct proof of warming, the worldwide pattern of record-breaking weather extremes most certainly is.
Accepting climate change as fact isn’t an inconsequential choice. Extremes in heat and cold are buckling highways, railroads and runways. Floods routinely overwhelm drains and streams. Sea levels could rise a foot by 2050, threatening coastlines worldwide. Adapting our infrastructure to new weather realities requires a committed population.
Retrofits will take generations. The cost is incalculable. Imagine the cost of ignoring it.
Climate ignorance is a self-inflicted wound. Citizens can no longer sit on the sidelines and pretend it’s a political position.
If the people who control the decisions and the purse strings continue to deny climate change, whether for politics or ignorance, a lot of folks will be left under water.

What idiots! It’s called WEATHER. Hello, it’s changed every day for my entire 65 years now. Maybe these clowns should hook up with the good old earth island institute or sky island alliance. Insufferable fools. Maybe they might want to move their operations to a little higher ground before it’s too late.
Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
The ability of journalists to display their scientific ignorance never fails to amaze.
you wish
So......we’ve heard about this disastrous sea rising for 2 decades. Yet it never rises. If things were so bad,would we not have some evidence?
Nobody’s denying climate change. Its the idea that it’s man-made is what we have a problem with. Fools.
sitting in my kitchen at the moment
i won’t deny it, pretty nice . got the door open to the yard, dog sleeping in the doorway. bout 68 degrees, clear sky.
denial, when you want the very best.
Editorial Board - a group of ultra liberals who meet on a regular basis to construct big, bigger and biggest lies in the hope that reality can be made meaningless.
Bridges and roads can be designed to “work” in any temperature environment.
Houses can be moved further inshore or put on stilts.
Naked natives of islands inches above sea level can be relocated.
Man can live with climate change.
Man cannot materially change earth’s atmosphere or solar activity. Science is no where near up to those tasks.
Adherents to MMGW are technologically ignorant and delusional.
Were DOOMED Yawn!
Two years ago when we were gripped by the worst winter in decades the climatists all screamed “Weather is not Climate!”. In 1970 they screamed “The ocean will be dead in 10 years”. I call BS.
Lest we forget these same insightful humanists guaranteed an ice age by the 1970's.
So now it’s climate ignorance. I keep asking to no avail: where are the mathematical proof statements? If asking equates to ignorance then we apparently have a dilemma with no solution.
Whenever the alarmists open their mouths, demand that they describe under what conditions Man Made Global Warming is *not* happening.
And do not let them get away with circular arguments, like “MMGW isn’t happening when it isn’t happening”, or “MMGW isn’t happening when there is global cooling.”
The reason that a “negative case” for MMGW must be demanded of them is because they are saying, in effect, that *everything* proves MMGW. Hot, cold, storm, clouds, El Nino, La Nina, melting icecaps, freezing icecaps, teen girls wearing revealing clothing and too much makeup, you name it.
Green is the new Red.
The article apparently can't even get the Beserkley professor's name right.
You know what is scary about this?:
It’s our national climate illiteracy, reinforced by a well-funded misinformation campaign, that kept the population on the fence despite decades of science. Even today, too many students are taught by schools that have been cowed into thinking it’s democratic to “teach the debate” instead of teaching the facts.
You vill tink the way ve say and you vill LIKE it. Ve pick the facts!
OMG!! The weather is changing? I need the govt. to protect me and change it. They need to legislate more sunspots. Maybe a coordinated jumping program can change the planet’s rotation and fix it.
Global warming my arse!
Over the last two thousand years the earth has actually COOLED slightly even with ALL the human activity that has occurred in that period so say REAL scientist!
The judicious use of emotionally charged language in the article is quite revealing.
The term “climate change skeptic” has fallen out of vogue, because “skeptic” is not emotionally-charged enough.
Therefore, “skeptics” have become “deniers”, which sounds an awful lot like “holocaust deniers”.
Oh, I’m SUUUUUUUUUUUURE that’s not intentional. ;)
climate is changing. always has, always will. Not much man can do about it
These maroons (a little Bugs bunny lingo) have discovered that we have summer and winter.
How arrogant of them. The state I live has 140 years of weather records so far. How shortsighted and uninformed to speculate that we have any idea of what “normal” is.
Please, let me translate this one.
What this means is that enough time has passed since the global warming farce discovered at the Climate Research Unit at England’s University of East Anglial that most people, if they paid any attention at all to the scandal in the first place, have now forgotten about it and we, in the media, can start pushing the farce again as truth.
Its not even about climate. Here in Michigan we’re fighting the idiots who want to tear out all the dams that could produce the greenest “RELIABLE AND PROVEN” energy there is.
You're setting yourself up if you ask for this. I'm sure that if mathematical proof is wanting, they can always find a mathematician or two to whip it up.
It's not too late! Pay up now, you cheap *&*^*^%!
“Winter is just around the corner.”
Yep, and it is the “Sun” Stupid. We are coming out of the longest, quietiest and deepest sunspot minimum in my lifetime. It has been know for over 100 years that during sunspot minimums and maximums weather is more variable. Now we are seeing huge flares and this too shall pass.

The Next Grand Minimum
http://nextgrandminimum.wordpress.com/2011/07/31/mission/
“The Maunder Minimum was named in honor of Edward W. Maunder, an earlier astronomer who had examined the period between 1645-1715 when sunspots became extremely rare. It was also a period when the world experienced successive crop failures.”
“During one 30-year period within the Maunder Minimum astronomers observed only about 50 sunspots, as opposed to the thousands in modern times. The science is robust, and based on a systematic program of observations conducted by the Observatoire de Paris. The Maunder coincided with the coldest part of the so-called Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America experienced bitterly cold winters.”
Hottest driest summer in a long while in my part of the country. I’ve even got full sized trees looking like they’re dying.
It happens and next year is another year.
I wouldn't be ignorant if they just told me the answers, but it seems to be a secret.
And darn if i didn't save my decoder ring from that 1978 box of cereal.
It must be global warming....it’s been REALLY hot here the last two months, and.....uhhh, what’s that? I live in Mississippi, where it ALWAYS gets hot in July and August?....nevermind.
And I COULD get his by a falling piano while on my way to cash my lottery ticket.
Retrofits will take generations. The cost is incalculable. Imagine the cost of ignoring it.
Exceeded only by the cost of succumbing to discredited hysteria.
If the people who control the decisions and the purse strings continue to deny climate change, whether for politics or ignorance, a lot of folks will be left under water.
If the people who make the decisions elect to waste trillions defending against a fabricated bogeyman, a lot of countries are going to be left insolvent.
Warming also means longer and more productive growing seasons, less use of fuel for heating.
Then how come I have been able to turn off ac every evening around 9pm and sleep with windows open. I am in central Florida and I can’t remember ever doing this. Global warming my a@@. Yesterday morning it was 66 degrees.
But I’ve never denied climate change. In fact, I’ve always stated climate change occurs regularly. For a period of about thirty years starting in the late 1940s, the climate in the northern U.S. cooled dramatically. By about 1980 the pattern reversed, and we are now in a period of slight warming. But if co2 affects the weather, why did the climate cool in the late forties when the U.S. was in the midst of a great post-war industrial expansion which spewed billions-trillions more co2 into the atmosphere than pre-war?
Anthropological Global warming would be believable if not for some stubborn facts that the AWG proponent keep avoiding.
1. The sun place a massive role in warming.
2. Mars warmed at the same time earth did
3. Every doom and gloom prediction has come and past without disaster.
4. The AWG experts consistently fail to recognize similar warming periods throughout history.
5. The “cures” all lead to control of successful countries.
6. The “cures” all lead to the redistribution of wealth.
7. AGW science has turned into a religious cult including tithing, worship, heretics, etc...
8. AGW Computer models can’t predict weather that has already happened.
9. AWG leaders don’t act in their personal lives as if AGW was true.
10. The IPCC reports include hearsay that has been proven false and has been admitted to by the IPCC.
11. Temperature monitoring stations are in disrepair, not positioned in correct locations.
12. Stations that show cooling have been found to be deleted form the data.
13. Countries have found that their submitted raw data doesn’t match the “official” data.
14. Ice data has been manipulated.
This is just my short list.
To add to the list:
15. The ‘ultimate cure’ involves massive de-population, taking the world count down from 7 blillion plus to just 500 million people. How do they plan to accomplish this?
They're also melting light fixtures in Oklahoma!!! Oh! That's right it was a dumpster fire!!!
I’d willingly admit that climate has wiped out entire civilizations millions of years ago and probably more than once. So what? It is out of our control!!!!! We can’t change it.
I dont deny that earth climate is changing- it has endlessly or Manhhattan would still be under a mile of ice
However I do deny that man caused it or can stop it or slow it down by taxing the rich and turning our lands and seas into noise polluting humming buzzing windfarms
root cause is the sun, and/or internal thermal processes
I can’t wait for the first space comapny to discover “fossil fuels” on a moon or an exoplanet
I understand India went green a few years back. They opted for solar, iirc. , and less coal. Result; mega millions without power in summer for several days.

The solution to all the problems of “climate change”, formerly known as “global warming”, is to invest a central government with the power to override the decisions of individuals in a free society and inflict solutions that come from brilliant, intellectual, intensely intelligent, atheist, non-Christian geniuses who will direct everything with the limitless abilities of their brilliant minds;
those who advocate “free market” solutions will be ground into dust by being discredited as bible-thumping,
gun-loving, knuckle-dragging morons.
