With a seeming rise in the occurrence of snow days, blizzards and icy travel, the common belief that climate change isn’t happening comes as no surprise.
Scientists stress that locally wintry weather conditions are not indicators of changes in climate, and weather conditions in one part of the world are not representative of what’s occurring globally.
“It’s like saying, 'if everyone around me is wealthy, then poverty is not a problem,'” Peter Frumhoff, the Union of Concerned Scientists science and policy director and chief climate scientist, told CNN.
Scientists point to hard data, including temperature measurements on land and water taken over several decades, which points to an upwards trend in global temperatures, otherwise known as global warming.
“We know that right now, we’ve had three years – 2016, 2015 and 2014 – which were the hottest on record since 1880,” said Brenda Exwanker, climate science director and senior climate scientist for the Union of Concerned Scientists.
NASA reported that 16 of the 17 warmest years on record all happened since 2001.
“Global warming is definitely happening,” Exwanker added.
A popular question seems to be that if global warming is occurring, why do winters seem unusually harsh?
Understanding the distinct difference between weather and climate helps to answer that question.
"Weather refers to the conditions in the atmosphere over a short period of time, whereas climate refers to trends in atmospheric patterns over a much longer timescale," said Dr. John Fleming, a climate scientist with the Center for Biological Diversity.
“This is well expressed as an analogy: weather is like your mood, whereas climate is like your personality,” he said.
“This is why it is possible to have unusually cold weather across much of the U.S. [during] winter, while observing that globally, surface temperatures have been steadily rising,” he added.

From a climate scientist:
"Government funds science to support pre-determined policy outcomes. So, you thought government-funded science is objective? Oh, that’s adorable."
OK. But they say the Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years. If they base conclusions on just a few decades of measurements then it seems they too are referring to short term conditions relative to the Earth's history.
The bottom line is the climate does change and man will have to adapt to it.
According to Gore and Michael Mann...... hyuck, hyuck!! Thy have to defend their “Goebbels” propaganda (and lest we forget Goldman Sachs carbon credits commodity exchange money that drove this and that started and stopped on the basis of the exposed fraud of “global warming”, and the subsequent name change. All this exposing the vast amounts of money the greatest holders of carbon- oil rights holder/producers, could have made in the reality of another coming mini-Ice Age ala the one present at the founding of the US).
My 1970’s National Geographics all said... coming Ice Age.
This was posted elsewhere on FR and is excellent, especiall Joe Bastardi’s describing these people as climate ambulance chasers and “witchcraft” of Algore: http://www.climatedepot.com/2018/01/04/al-gore-bitter-cold-is-exactly-what-we-should-expect-from-the-climate-crisis/
Wonder why she gave it up?
They are using the climate con to transfer wealth from the US middle class to global elites. The poor in the poor countries will stay poor.
Man does not drive climate, climate drives man, sun drives climate!
Yep— all the pedos and queers taking showers together, came up with “global warming” ... it fits. Think that the guy who started wunderground.com is Penn State peter poofer.
When hurricanes happened at a record pace for the modern era in the mid-2000s, Ashley's PROPHETIC HIGH PRIEST Al Gore told the world that the INCREASED hurricanes were proof of Global Warming.
Now, as the lie is being exposed by the record cold weather and the lower hurricane numbers....well, now suddenly WEATHER isn't evidence.
Cult!
The Global Warming scam has always been about the money. For these scammers, human energy needs are like soda pop with sugar. They will tax it and with the money, line their pockets. When the winters get colder, they will slobber all over themselves because they have hit pay dirt.
You are correct.
The money that is supposed to help the poor never does.
It somehow always ends up in other pockets.
The mass migration is to steal our countries from us so there are no rich countries.
You folks up north remember that as you're shoveling the white stuff.
PSU, the employer of Mr. Fake Hockey Stick Graph himself, Michael Mann.
They’ve had that name “climate change” in reserve since 1988, when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up by the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and UN Environmental Program (UNEP). Before the IPCC, there was the Advisory Group on Greenhouse Gases, headed up by pseudoscientist Bert Bolin.
I have accuweather on my phone but will be getting rid of the app shortly. Good replacements?
Penn State's where that fraud Michael Mann works, right? I guess calling it "Mann-made Global Warming" wouldn't do.
The hockey stick graph guy is a professor at Penn State.
The place is pretty much a Liberal hellhole.
Sure. They could re-brand it as "Global Cooling". Hell, that's where they started. It would still be human caused and require taxes and wealth redistribution to fix. There is no fix to a problem that does not exist or that can't be controlled.
Eventually our star (the sun) will burn out in spectacular fashion (everyone still on earth will be lost, including the children). We can no more affect that than we can the ever changing climate on this planet.
Simple. Warm days are climate and cold days are weather.
