    Wow, that seems like the kind of wild swings in weather pattern that one would read about when going through some sort of.. um.. what's it called? Climate change.

    Thanks bro, I forgot the global warming farce was a fail, it's called climate change now. Never had that in 6 billion years.

    I can't say if the evidence is compelling enough for me to conclude that human induced climate change is real (I guess you could say I haven't read enough of it in addition to my not being a climatologist), but I don't need it to be. I have always taken the stance that anything that reduces the pollution being released into the air/water/ground is a good thing, whether that be cap and trade or some other scheme.

    However, I find it tiring to read the posts of those who continue to think that weather and climate are synonymous.

    Climate instability is an old prediction for global warming.

    They don't know any better. they also vanish during the summer when it is unseasonably hot in some places...

    Global warming = climate change. It is a more descriptive term of what type of climate change is happening ... warming. Now that we are on the same page and you understand what the rest of the world is talking about, lets move on the the second statement. You are absolutely right, climate change is a natural phenomenon occurring throughout the history of the world resulting in wild swings in weather patterns. That is not the question. The question is: Are humans accelerating that pattern? (which in and of itself would be bad)
    If so, is it possible that this acceleration will push the natural phenomenon past where it would have ended resulting in an UNnatural phenomenon. (which would be even worse)

    There, now you know. You don't have to run around this forum looking ignorant any more.

    You can thank me now or later.

    Al Gore could have had a well educated lad like yourself on his campaign on his Global Warming run, though he did rake in over a 100 million handling it the way he did. As for the "question", the answer is no.

    You can sleep at night now. Thanks me now/later/never it's up 2 you. I don't want you running around here as if the sky is falling scaring tax payers into funding this scam.

    The supply of "it's cold outside, where is your global warming now?!?!?!" threads seemingly has no end. Glad to see the level of debate is sandwiched right between that of a kindergrartener and a monkey.

    Just wait til summer, then we'll get the "it's hot outside, your global warming is right here" threads................

    Yes, because snow falling from the sky proves that global warming doesn't exist.

    How can you even discuss this issue if you have no idea what you are talking about?

    Where did you study? I mean, where did you get your PHD? How long did your climate study run? Your answer was so definitive with no qualifiers, that I could only surmise that it came from someone who has done exhaustive primary research on the subject. Seems strange, especially since it also came from someone who didn't even know what climate change was.... odd.

    Anyway, human induced climate change or not, cap and trade would be great as it would reduce pollutants being spewed into the atmosphere.

    The climate has never been unstable in the previous 4 billion years of Earth's existence.

    Pretty narcissistic of humans to put the Earth on their timetable considering the age difference. tbh

    You mean the issue of red team puppets starting "it's cold today, so global warming is bs" threads in the winter and blue team puppets starting "it's hot today, so global warming is real" threads in the summer? As someone who's been a visitor to this forum now for multiple winters and summers and seen the trend I'd say I'm sufficiently qualified to make that observation.

    Quite true. That's why global warmists are climate change deniers. They don't believe climate change is the norm.


    They also LOVE to use anecdotal evidence to support their pet theory, so I don't mind returning the favor.

    Global warming does not mean it's going to be hot all the time. It's an evolutionary increase in extreme weather that will result in an inhospitable (for human life) environment. The Earth is not dying, it's just getting rid of it's disease.

    That's not the point. The point is to prolong human life. The Earth doesn't need us, we need it.

    darrins is only concerned about the economic affects of global warming policies.. the earth has never been better in his eyes..we have mothing to worry about... yet his side talks of the debt crisis and what it will do to our children and grandchildren..oh the feigned outrage.. but his side doesn't see the possible ramifications, regarding earth's atmosphere, to future generations who will live here well beyond all of us...


    history will prove one side right...

    My only point to this is that the proof for or against global warming is not found in today's weather forecast, no matter how hot or cold it is.
