    When the weather supports "climate change", whether it's cold, snow, warm, or a hurricane, that's indicative of actual climate change. When the weather doesn't support climate change, such as a very cold winter or a cool summer, that's just indicative of "weather" and not climate.

    That's why this is no longer called "global warming" and now called "climate change". Cooler weather wouldn't support "global warming". But it does support "climate change". So if it's cold, it's climate change. If it's warm, that's also climate change. If we get a drought- climate change, and if we get too much rain- climate change.

    Soooooo, where is the Warming?

    I’m still waiting for the ice age the climate scientists in the 70s were sure was coming before the turn of the century. Remember, the one that was going to cause World War 3 and mass starvation when all the farmland was under a glacier?

    UK Inches Closer To Eliminating Private Car Ownership


    necessary to ditch the "20th-century thinking centred around private vehicle ownership and towards greater flexibility, with personal choice and low carbon shared transport."

    Let's not forget the latest one: All weather-related disasters are now attributed to climate change. Flooding, fires, hurricanes, mudslides, typhoons...and so on. The term 'natural disaster' is going the way of the dinosaur..

    Well, it’s cold again here and the mts. Received 2-5 feet of snow over the past 5 days. Winter has arrived again so time to talk about Chaos instead of Warming….

    I drove to Copper Mountain from St. Louis while in college. Worst drive ever!

    Good luck on some fresh pow pow.

    I70 from KC to Denver is one of the most boring drives I’ve done.

    Yes, but boring is far better than the awful drive from St. Louis to KC. It's always congested with 18 wheelers, and it seems like you have about 6 inches of shoulder between you and a concrete wall the entire trip.
