Wow , it's cold today. I guess that debunks the idea of global warming, eh?

[LuckyTheDog]

Yep, I have been hearing that.

1. It does for me. Down to 14 last night.

Stupid fat Al Gore.

[niyad]

12. guess I shouldn't point out that it was 65 here yesterday, and the same is predicted for today. 20

degrees higher than average for here. . .

[barbtries]

2. lol

i hope whenever you do, you mention that this is weather, not climate. maybe if you say it enough times they'll believe it. maybe that even works with the truth.

[Jackpine Radical]

7. It's -19 F here right now.

And my favorite wingnut has already sent me an email about the cold snap with a snide comment about global warming. *sigh*

[mmonk]

3. The flat earth crowd probably thinks so.

[old mark]

11. You mean the ones going to run Congress next year?....nt

[mmonk]

24. Yes.

And their voters.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

4. and we'll have the cadre of idiots here later in the spring

when a storm comes through blaming THAT on global warming...

maybe we can finally get people to look at the TREND and not the EVENT...

ffs...

sP

[niyad]

6. ummm, wouldn't hold my breath for that level of intelligence

[ProdigalJunkMail]

10. oh, i'm not expecting it...

just dreaming...

sP

[Javaman]

27. I live in Austin, we haven't had rain in over 2 months.

we are now in a drought.

We aren't predicted to get any sizable amount until the spring.

It will be 75 degrees here today.

If that isn't climate change, I don't know what is?

[niyad]

5. well, the proper term is catastrophic climate change, but the words are too big for them, I think.

[lunatica]

8. A few days ago I predicted they would come out of their Summer hibernation

to start their mantra. I was right. Do I win something.

[old mark]

9. ...at least till July or so....K&R....nt

[Arkansas Granny]

13. I hear that, too. It's really hard to argue with the anti-science crowd.

I suppose they think that unless the entire world suddenly develops a tropical climate, then 90% of the world's scientists must be wrong and global warming is a hoax.

[okieinpain]

14. what kills me is that the so-called lame/liberal/socialist media

does not point out to people that the extreme weather conditions are one of the biggest signs that global warming is happening. but oh well what do I know.

[robcon]

18. Huh?

"point out to people that the extreme weather conditions are one of the biggest signs that global warming is happening."

What extreme weather? Every year some recent temp/wind/cold/snow/rain record is broken. There's nothing unusual about this fall, IMO.

Weather is always changeable. Can't jump from weather to climate.

[rucky]

15. I made similar comments to my RW friends on hot days.

Woah, there's that global warming acting up again.

[ChazII]

16. Predicting temps of 76 to 80 degrees

here in the Phoenix area.

[rox63]

17. Climate works in increments of decades and centuries

Weather is what's happening now and maybe into next week.

When you look at climate in the proper perspective, we are definitely warming.

[Sancho]

19. not really...

one scientist here explained that we've have more variability (hots and colds)...but the overall trend is warmer...

[NightWatcher]

20. Just as the Sun dies every evening, but just happens to spring back at dawn, praise gawd

[Iterate]

21. It's always struck me as odd

when the deniers who have a god friend won't accept a scientific understanding unless they can see it with their own eyes.

[auntAgonist]

22. I heard that ad nauseum yesterday!

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Kber]

23. Well sur - that's just science right?

:sarcasm:

[elocs]

25. I wish I had a dime for every time I've heard that here in WI. I could retire now.

Yet they will never mention when it is unusually warm in the winter months or late autumn.

[InvisibleTouch]

26. I've been hearing that ignorant quip since the 90's.

The term we need to be using is Climate Crisis. Because that's what it is.

[deaniac21]

28. The sun is slowly turning into a red giant. This will take about

4.5 billion years but within a billion years the surface temperature on earth will be hot enough to boil off all water. We need to find a way to keep changing earth's orbit away from the sun. When the red giant turns into a white dwarf, we need to find a new solar system. Maybe we can turn earth into a giant spacecraft?

[Ilsa]

29. Your "buddies" need to look up "climate" and "weather" in the dictionary! LOL. I'm glad

DUers are smarter than that. What a mess of ignorant people live in the US.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

32. no offense...but there are scads of DUers

who come out all the time and confusing weather and climate...look for it when it's hot or stormy...

sP

[tjwash]

30. It was 85 in San Diego yesterday. It also hit 100 in mid november.

[meow mix]

31. having a december spring in montana

rainy and melty. when i was a kid it was just -20 -30 straight thru lol

[kestrel91316]

33. Yep. Seasons are gonna stop happening because of CO2.

You see, the high levels of CO2 cause the earth's axis to become perpendicular to its orbit, and all the days have become the same length year-round depending on your location on the globe.

Oh, wait......
