I’d say climate change more than global warming. I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about btw.

This never gets old on the OT.

Colorado =/= global. This is true for any extreme weather argument.

The weather has been really unusual so far this year. Normally June is the hottest time of the year and very dry. But it still hasn't really warmed up to summer temps except for a few days here and there. This past weekend in COS was in the 60's. Last weekend I drove through Leadville & Buena Vista and there is still lots of snow on the Sawatch Range. I'm not complaining because I'm not a fan of hot weather but it's just bizarre how this year has been so far weather-wise.

Yeah, shite is clearly getting hotter. You have to be brain damaged to argue otherwise.

Much better footing sticking to the old backup "There is no such thing as "man made global warming"...the Earth has been going through cycles for billions of years" chestnut.

Exactly, global warmign is fluid. Allow me to demonstrate.

Global Warming:
"Whew, it's hot today. That's because Trump backed out the Paris climate accord, and the world is going to end in 10 years because of fossil fuels"

Not Global Warming:
"Huh, this data indicates that arctic sea ice is actually growing, not shrinking"

Global Warming:
"Looks like a tropical storm is forming in the Atlantic"

Not Global Warming
"You guys see that study that shows we're actually in a global cooling period?"

Global warming
"I could really go for some ice cream right now"

Not Global warming
"CO2 makes up less than .1% of our atmosphere and is not a key driver of temperatures"

So you see, its really quite simple. If you are just trying to win an argument, "everything is global warming". If you need a way to panic moonwalk your way out of a losing GW topic, then nothing is global warming.

Are we clear?

No matter what happens there is an excuse. If it’s hot it’s global warming. If it’s snowing on summer it’s climate change. If there’s a hurricane it’s global warming. If there’s no rain it’s global warming.


No matter what it’s the us’ fault and we should give money to countries who continue to pollute.

The fact that there are imbeciles on both sides of the argument is disappointing, sure.

Sea levels are higher today than they were 100 years ago. They're about 120m higher than they were 20,000 years ago. They're also about 200m lower than they were 100 million years ago. They change. Arguing they don't is asinine, and arguing humans are the primary reason is both arrogant and asinine.

Did you miss the part where I said this is true for any extreme weather argument?

Arguing snow in summer is as dumb as arguing a heat wave in January.
