    The climate is really complex, and is the poster child for chaos theory. One of the weird things is that more snow storms and unseasonally cold weather is an expected result of global average temparature rises.

    It’s one of the reasons it’s better to say “climate change” instead of “global warming”, to help ease the confusion.

      But see, scientists changed the messaging, which means that they don’t know what they’re talking about! Also, they used to be worried about global cooling! How can you trust someone that keeps changing their story when they get new information?!?

        I love the term “scientists”, because it’s so poorly defined it can mean whoever you want it to mean.

      My favorite is all the predictions were wrong.

      We can’t ever figure out the weather accurately in a local region. So yeah, figuring out the global weather is going to much harder.

      I don’t deny climate change. I don’t know if it man, the sun or something else. I have opinions but I think the debate is still. We need to first all agree things are changing which to me is obvious but we can’t get agreement on that.
