re: Media rushes to remind everyone that 1 extremely cold event doesn't debunk global warming

It's a shame that our climate has been politicized so much that people can't discuss it rationally. The weather is definitely not what it used to be which is kind of a big deal when nearly half of civilization has decided to live and work in coastal areas. But you idiots on both sides keep treating it like a political team sport, that will make it better

And?? Are you saying that "what it use to be" was how it it always was?? Such a "whoa is me I dont want my life style to change" wah wah wah bitch post.

you have one side blaming human behavior for the changes. You have one side that says..."Mother nature is a bipolar bitch, so we adjust in any way we can just like our ancestors did".

Define “not what it used to be” ... the Earth is how old? Humans have only been surviving on it for how long? Humans have only recoded weather for how many years now?

That's actually true....but these are the same people who say "See? Global warming!" for single events on the other end.

---

To be fair, you also have the crowd that yells back "Where is all this Global warming?!?..I wish it would come back"

Both sides use hyperbole to push the argument.

I mean they are not wrong. But I wish they would be just as quick to denounce a heat wave in July or August

Precisely

I'm just pointing out that the media is rushing to remind us that global warming is real. You're welcome.

IMO land use is a bigger threat to American cities. We build bigger, more sprawling targets for hurricanes, tornadoes, forest fires, etc.

We then wonder why we experience greater loss of life and attempt to assign blame.

The "media" can kiss my arse

I asked a south Louisiana meteorologist his take on this and first thing out of his mouth was “I can’t stand how it’s becime a political issue.”

He then said the earth’s climate has always changed since it’s creation. He agreed there’s a change now but that the earth was so much more than us and she’s going to do what she wants to do.

Remember that there’s been five mass extinctions (occurring over million+ years) that are believed to be the result of rapid climate change. How can anyone say that that’s not what may be going on now?

Maybe people should take time to read up on the difference between weather and climate.
