Snow = global warming
Rain = global warming
heatwave = global warming
drought = global warming
bitter arctic blast = global warming
hurricane = global warming
el nino = global warming
la nina = global warming

I think I see a pattern.

Effing nonsense. This is one of the coolest summers I recall in Atlanta.

It’s 84 in late July, should be 89 to 93.

How much of global warming is due to man, and how much is due to natural cycles we can’t control and don’t understand?

Honestly, it's probably a mixture of both.

Personally, I think conservatives botched the message with their initial denials that there was no climate change. This allowed liberals to get the upper hand and control the message.

The questions that should always be asked about climate change are: Is it catastrophic? Is it necessarily bad? Should we worry about it? Can we fix it and what will this cost? Do we want to pay it?

It’s all true. Many places are experiencing hotter climes. No doubt due to the sun or other planetary situations. Interesting to talk about. Not falling for the “we need to change our evil ways” agenda. We’d be better off doing sun cooling dances and offering sacrifices. Noisy Climate Change Tyrants into active volcanoes is a great start, I think.

The system is massively complex and anything can happen including a lag. But being that they know the Earths climate exactly, it will be simple. Put your money where your mouth is... and if you are wrong...

I’d want to see more effort put into determining the “heat level” of the globe. As it is, we have temperatures taken at or near surface level. And without reference to enthalpy (moist air? dry air?) That can hide a lot of features.

Yeah, they contribute to the problem but don’t like the solution.

I have to agree with this. I mean, it’s July and not snowing, so it must be globull warming!

Consider this.

Planet earth was formed 5,000,000,000 years ago.

Human records on climate is less than 500 years.

That is a heckuva extrapolation to conclude climate change is something new and man made.

Geologists universally agree we had ice age a few thousand years back. What caused the global warming to melt all those glaciers? Man was still burning twigs to stay warm. Did the cave man burn too many twigs to end the ice age. So laughable and so stupid to think that.

If it’s hot in New York, Washington DC, and LA it’s hot everywhere for a liberal

A quick look at a temperature map will tell you that it won’t get out of the 70’s today in the Plains or Chicago.

At the end of July...

Yeah but did you see how big Mars looked last night next to the moon? No doubt it looked larger due to the increased heat in the atmosphere. Or something.

Global warming is causing anarchists to set fires. How does that happen?

What is the “climate change” of which so many learned panic-panderers speak, and why is it a bad thing?

Growing bananas in Labrador sounds like a good potential business model. So are shipping lanes through the Arctic Ocean.

Northern Greenland would be a great wheat-growing region.

And think of the power generation potential of a series of solar panel arrays set up at the equator, so at all times nearly half of the arrays will be bathed in sunlight, so the generation of power could be shunted ahead at the nightfall terminator line moves across the face of the earth.

With that much power, it would be possible to separate hydrogen from water by electrolysis, and recombine it with the oxygen released in the process, and generate vast quantities of pure water, when reburning the hydrogen on the dark side of the world.
