It’s 20 degrees below normal today and that’s the forecast for the next several days.
I’m already ready for it to get a little warmer.
The term 'climate change' is extremely accurate shorthand. It is in fact a tacit admission by the AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) lobby that the climate has stopped warming.
After all, if the public are to be convinced to shell out for carbon credits and carbon-taxes, then the current series of colder summers and colder winters is not helping the AGW cause.
If the AGW lobby manage to rename their political bogeyman from 'Anthropogenic Global Warming' to 'Climate Change' then they will have successfully foisted a non-disprovable onto us. Any fact 'proves' Climate Change because there is no fact, no test that disproves it.
"Weather hotter this year? - bad news, that's man-made climate change! We need more carbon credits!"
"Weather colder this year? - bad news, that's man-made climate change! We need more carbon credits!"
"New Ice Age? Northern Europe uninhabitable due to glaciation? - bad news, that's man-made climate change. We need more carbon credits before it is too late!"
After all, the climate never stops changing. It's been up and down like a yo-yo for billions of years. Once we as a society glom onto non-disprovable Anthropogenic Climate Change, rather than unproven Anthropogenic Global Warming, then we really are sunk.
Nothing then could damage our magical belief in the climate, and man's heinous effect upon it.
Primitive peoples who believe that the earth is carried on the back of a turtle can at least be dissuaded by the evidence. But what evidence could ever challenge our invincible faith that all climate change was somehow down to us?
