What a weird headline. I thought the whole thing was supposed to be "global," so it's not quite possible for "climate change" to be more extensive, unless they're talking about Mars or something.
It seems to be obvious that the threat of Global Warming (weather for all of you over the age of twelve) destroys common sense.
Since when do the results of a scientific study have to be "discussed" with government representatives, *before* being released to the public and, more importantly, the rest of the scientific community? I guess it's to make sure the conclusions and most importantly the recommendations, are politically, rather than scientifically, correct. That is, ones that will give those governments, and the UN itself, *more* power.
The polar ice caps on Mars are melting! Must be all those fluorocarbons that America released in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Since the Sun is causing this, we should somehow arrange that at least almost half the Earth remain in shadow at all times.
If we shut down all Human activity it would only have about as much effect as a popcorn F*rt in Hell.
speaking of Mars.. Thanks for the reminder..

National Geographic: Melting Mars Means Man-Made Global Warming a Myth
NewsBusters, National Geographic ^ | 3/1/2007 | Noel Sheppard
Is it part of global warming that AZ had the worst and longest freeze in decades in January and it destroyed our beautiful yard that it took us 18 years to create? The weather is strange lately, but maybe they could say that at just about any time over all the decades, centuries and millenniums.
sorry to hear about the yard, we were pretty lucky here, most of the succulents held up pretty well.. my fruit trees loved it, the buds are about to burst
Yes, the face on Mars is melting according to the tabloids!
Here I thought all one had to do was buy some carbon offsets and climate change is halted. Isn't that how Al "I'm neutral" Gore deals with his excessive energy usage that contributes to putting earth out of balance.
Gore is nothing more than a scam artist and a poor one at that, well, maybe not poor, he does sit on corporate boards and such, obviously he is well fed.. too excess in fact if his appearance is worth anything.
Pull up the top 500 environmentalists and green politicans...and ask them to bring their yearly gas and electricity bill into the studio...I will bet that all 500 use at least twice what a normal American family uses...and almost all have houses that are 1500 sq feet or bigger. You can smell where this is going.
I've tired myself out trying to read all of the science coverage and I've come to realize in the past week that these dimwits are the ones using up three, five, ten and even twenty times the amount of power as the typical American family. They are the cause of the mess and they can fix this...IF THEY want to get involved. They want us to feel quilty for their contributions to the problem. Frankly...we need to call up Larry King when they appear. We need to call NPR when they appear on Science Friday. We need to openly challenge them to tell us about their lifestyle....and make them admit what they are doing to the environment. Every conference they attend in Malayasia....they burn a heck of alot of fuel to get to it. They need to explain alot before I ever waste any more time on this science issue.
Wonder what it will be next year?
This is HORRIBLE!!!! We have a longer growing season and more of the earth is becoming habitable. Oh the horrors!!!!!!! I have never been so scared in my life.....

Yes Bonnie, you are right! Global Warming causes extreme weather conditions, also extreme cold periods not only warming. Weather is a very complex system and so the term "global warming" is a bit confusing.
Pardon me for asking a stupid question, but at what time in the past were humans in control of the weather?
