More important, we're attempting to coax our readers to view recent weather data and trends with a neutral perspective
The initial two quoted sentences sums up well comments I hear from most people discussing the current weather. They use the phrase "Global warming" in an appropriate sarcastic manner while shivering due to the colder weather.
Of the final quoted statement, people should absolutely be coaxed to approach the climate change issue with a neutral perspective in addition to their own personal observations. If they find they are freezing their butts off while some cavalier drone is telling them it's just their imagination, they had better listen to themselves.
Personally, I am very skeptical about the reports concerning global warming and climate change overall, and especially those that heap all the blame on mankind. The Earth experiences climate change regardless of what mankind does, or does not do. I’ve never experienced two consecutive years in any location that had weather exactly alike. There were climate changes at work, and nothing to be alarmed about.
Lastly, I do have issues with the pollution in the air that causes very serious health problems. An example is vaporized mercury. I was impressed when Alaska Governor Sarah Palin made reference to such pollutants during the Vice Presidential debate. She may be more aware of this due to the health factors surrounding the birth of her youngest child, or because Alaska has experienced the highest measured concentrations of such airborne particulate matter originating from China and Russia. Whatever, we would all do well with air free of particulate matter that has such dire health consequences, of which mercury is one.
I don’t believe it! Right-wing propaganda! Al Gore says the world is getting warmer. /s
“The sky is falling! The ground is rising! The walls are closing! HEEEELP!”
Correction: The sky is falling AND ITS YOUR FAULT!!
Lithium.
Heh... it was one of my infamous “almost got there” jokes.
How bad ARE you???
:oþ
“If it’s getting warmer, it’s global warming. If it’s getting cooler, it’s because of global warming.”
The scam conveniantly works both ways so its supporters can claim to be right no matter what happens.
Now, who didn’t see this coming—considering the winter we’ve just gone through!
Climate fluctuates like the Dow Jones. When the fluctuation du jour is towards hot, it’s global warming. When it’s toward cold, it’s global cooling. All they need do is say that that fluctuation is a long-term trend, and that it’s all our fault for polluting the earth for personal gain, rather than collectivist idiocy.
You mean, the ground rising is somebody else’s fault? Somebody like...gulp...Bush? What about the walls closing in?
I’m far more likely to believe in a coming ice age than in global “warming”, especially after this freakishly cold and unending winter, but the role of humans in causing this is so negligible that I can barely stand listening to the climate change idiots anymore without wanting to slap them.
