I believe in global warming

The last 4 years has shown me there is a change in our climate in North Louisiana.
Unprecedented rain levels with last year over 80+ inches alone. Major flooding in 2016, and now we are about to experience an unprecedented flood by Wednesday night, if not sooner.
Been living here for 30 plus years and although we always had the occasional spat of rain and some flooding spaces out over the years, never in such a consecutive nature as the last few years.
I am not saying it is man-made mind you, only that things are not the same and nature is changing. My lake use to overflow once every decade and those who owned it before I bought it said it "rarely flooded" but had done so a few times over the 40 years it was in their families ownership. It floods now every year for 4 years into wham.
Lincoln to West Carroll are in for some pain the next couple of days. Could be catastrophic.

I do too. I also believe that there isn't anything we can do about it.

you say this like it is some big revelation or that all they taught in school for the last 50 years was that nature is always the same.

I believe in it as well. Also believe that voting democrat or doing any crazy democrat shite won’t change it at all.

Great Lakes were carved by glaciers. All kinds of crazy stuff.
Of course climate changes.

I had this thought yesterday when I was golfing in 65 degree weather.
Middle TN where I live had a Tornado Thursday snow Friday 65 Sunday.
When I was a kid it stayed cold Nov-Feb.

South Louisiana already had pretty mild winters but we have years where we rarely get below freezing now. Winters seemed like they were colder when I was a kid. I'll eventually just move further north

But the issue here is that these anecdotal stories of these weather phenomenon are all over the map in history because they are all random and all random because these are all random weather pattern changes. These changes are ageless and they ebb and flow as they always have.
People see what they want to see in weather patterns as well and if they happen to cobble a few years together in their mind where the same thing was more prevalent than usual in their thinking then sure enough, they let it grow in their head that this is some indication of global warming...oh wait, the term now is climate change. Want to know why? Because the fear monger political activists can't get their shite together to keep their narrative straight when the next shift in information happens.
Bottom line, weather comes and goes...it changes. Just a couple of years ago we were hearing chicken littles all frantic about drought conditions. I know here in Alabama we heard about how epic the drought was day in and day out and OMG, it's global warming, or climate change(again folks, if you want to buy into something at least figure out the terminology and baseline concept you are buying into)non-sense, blah blah blah...
I COULD bring out terms like North Atlantic Oscillation, Arctic Oscillation, El Nino, La Nina, High Pressure Ridging, Low Pressure Systems, The Jet Stream, etc...all these things play roles in our weather and are much more real in how the weather is formulated than this smoke in mirrors, phony baloney, scare tactic climate change shite.
Let me help you out here...this is an interesting read on the NAO(North Atlantic Oscillation) and how it drives weather patterns and such, temps, etc...notice a sustained NAO usually is more conducive to colder weather here during the winter(milder in the west USA and vice versa when the NAO flips to positive which we have had most this year). If you look at the dateline bar graph, it ebbs and flows over time with no real rhyme or reason...

So in that folks have short memories and see what they want to see, this gets lost in the shuffle but there's no real pattern on real things like this that shows absurdly abnormal weather pattern shifts. Sorry just not happening. Now on the other hand, there are plenty of political shifts that have folks all worked up. That won't change any time soon either.

Why did the climate change 100000 years ago? Buffalo farts?

No it didn't. You only remember the cold times because that's what you associate with that period of time.
I remember vividly the big snows, ice storms, cold snaps, etc of my youth. I have no memory of the warmer days that my parents assured me happened with regularity.

Agreed and as I noted people see what they want to see, especially when they have this thought tendency cultivated and watered by media fear mongering and politics.

I believe there is a tax that can be created to combat it

Yep. Hand over the means of production to the government, we'll all get a Telsa and lose our air conditioning and nothing else will change

Global warming is 100% a thing that's not debatable. We can debate if we are accelerating it, but yes it's happening.
Also we certainly need to do things like get ourselves off fossil fuels and use more green energy or nuclear as long as we can guarantee we don't have another Chernobyl.

Please inform us why the Earth has warmed into a more suitable climate for humans?

I guess we'll wait for the big reveal.
