    It doesn’t help the global warming guys when we’re hitting record colds and snow we haven’t seen in 50 years. And yes I understand the difference between climate and weather. However weather gets referenced when it fits the climate agenda all the time. I’m also not saying our climate isn’t changing. It has consistently changed since whenever it started. How much do cow farts affect it? Forest fires? Volcanic eruptions? I suspect we over estimate our understanding. What if we had fifty dormant volcanoes suddenly come back to life in the next decade? I think it would dwarf our human impacts. I’m old enough to remember when they were predicting a new ice age. I don’t think I’ll see that unless it comes in the form of a nuclear winter, but I just don’t put much stock in predictions anymore. Our local weather girls can’t get it right much beyond 36 hrs.
