Even the Elite Liberal Media is Bungling Climate Change Coverage : TreeHugger
1. I don't know of anybody who is arguing that these heatwaves, or extra-hot "local weather" events are proof enough in themselves that global warming is occurring. The author's assertion is only true of the climate skeptics, who pointed to snowstorms as proof that global warming was a hoax. What climate realists have pointed to, however, is the fact that scientific institutions like NCAR, NOAA, and NASA have noted that many months of this year so far have seen the hottest global average temperatures ever recorded. And that those temps are consistent with predictions from climate models -- which seems to me to count as evidence that the planet is warming.RFK, Jr.: Global warming means no snow or cold in DC | Washington Examiner
2. Climate scientists expect precipitation -- like snow -- to increase as climate change progresses; it is included in their models. More intense snow storms, like those that occurred last winter, are actually evidence that climate change is occurring, not vice versa.
