Climate Change Is Very Real And It Is Causing Extreme Weather
Tweet
But this is actual science and not industry-fueled spin, so conservatives will not like it.
Scientists cite several statistical indicators that suggest the number of extreme events like heat waves and floods is rising. This evidence has taken on a new meaning in this summer of weather disasters, especially the floods in Pakistan and the heat wave in Russia. The United States has not been spared from weather extremes, notably deluges like the disastrous downpour in Tennessee that led to extensive flooding in May.

But, but, but it SNOWED! It snowed I tell you!
I second Ol’Froth. If the earth is warmer, how could it possibly snow? These scientists are all part of some conspiracy, I tells ya. With their huge university professor paychecks and their cushy lifestyles. I know just as much as they do about the weather – it’s sunny outside today! Take that, you stupid scientists!
It all those LIBERAL arts at them there colleges I tell ya! Should be called LEFTISTS HATE AMERICA arts to be accurate!!!!
But.. but.. climate change is obviously a myth!
Snow is clearly caused by God brushing his hair. Someone get him some dandruff shampoo!
[This was clearly snark, lurking Conservatives (look it up). I am neither "bashing religion" nor denying climate change.]
In all fairness to climate change skeptics, Al Gore is fat.

And of course its warm right now! Its summer, for crying out loud!
Only in the northern hemisphere, Ol’Froth.
Of course, that is where the USA is, and the rest of the world really doesn’t count.
My air conditioner disproves all your so-called “science.”
Last year by this time Houston had had 14 100 degree days. This year we’ve only had one.
And he uses a lot of electricity!

God is Ally Sheedy?
Either Ally Sheedy or Alanis Morrisette.
See, but Al Gore rides in a limo so all those jobs that solar energy and wind power would have helped create don’t count. It’s a GOOD thing that we foisted those off on Germany and China, respectively. Far better for our collective consciousness to be able to call Al Gore a fag than to actually, you know, have productive jobs or carry our society into the 21st century.
I thought Al Gore was merely fat. Are you telling me he’s one of “them” too???
It does explain the breakup with Tipper.
But what can explain your own obtuseness, SF?
‘Last year by this time Houston had had 14 100 degree days. This year we’ve only had one.’
Now it’s Russia’s turn.
Fair’s fair.
Fareed Zakaria had an interesting discussion on climate change last Sunday, in which well known denialist Pat Michaels was spouting the kind of unsubstantiated dribble that amounted to ‘all is well,’ until Fareed got him to admit that 40% of the funding for his ‘research’ is supplied by the very industries he so consistently touts as being wholly innocent of wrongdoing when it comes to poisoning the atmosphere of the Earth and dramatically altering global weather patterns.
Those would be the same industries that pump billions of tons of toxic waste into the environment every year through the burning of fossil fuels from their products.
