Current weather makes it easy to doubt global warming

Environmental changes happen all the time. They are cyclical in nature. I don't know about you, but where did the days of 33-plus degrees in July go?

Our last two summers sucked, if I was being honest! Might I also add that our last two winters pounded us "old-school" style with record dumps of snow.

I'm not seeing anything different now, then back when I was a kid, except we had tons of snow every winter, it was cold and bitter.

Now go hug a tree, with a warm jacket on, might I add.

U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson: Amendments to climate [scam] bill were necessary | Hutchinson Leader

At the end of the day, I know the climate change bill the House passed isn’t perfect. But it’s much better than it would have been if I hadn’t made it more farm-friendly, and it’s certainly better than if Congress had not acted and just let EPA bureaucrats regulate everything under the sun. Let me be clear, however, that these amendments I negotiated must be in place as this legislative process unfolds, or I will not support a final bill.

The Migrant Mind: Another China Station

One would think that if the thermometers were measuring climate that they would actually go up and down somewhat together over a very short distance. Unfortunately in China or in the US, they don't.
