Not sure if you heard but the earth entered an ice age a few million years ago.

Not sure if you're aware, but we're no longer in it.

What happened? Did we tax the shite out of people back then to bring us out of the ice age?

There has to be an answer!!! MOAR TAXES!!!

If you listen to Krugman the broken window fallacy is not a fallacy. Then the following day he'll rail against climate change that would give him a bounty of broken windows. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Yes I'm aware of the difference. Which is why it's so funny when people use singular or short term weather event observations to promote alarmism.

It was a cold, miserable winter and now it's warmer. Guess I'd better vote for a democrat from now on.

I didn't see anything about the ice age.

How did we come out of it without new taxes?

Climate change brings about undue hardships for millions of Americans every year who wrestle with where to put their winter and summer clothing.

In grade school we were taught that weather was a daily occurrence, but climate was over centuries.

Somehow now a few decades of weather is being used to determine the future and to predict the climate.

Maybe these people are on to something, and maybe they are not; but who decided that right now is the perfect climate for all the Earth?

I missed that study somehow. Can someone link it for me?

You do realize that you can't claim that every storm or series of storms is related to climate change/disruption/whatever, right?

It is an incredibly disingenuous position to hold and is a cop out. It offers you the opportunity to claim that the lack if hurricanes hitting the gulf coast in recent years is due to climate disruption, while also claiming that hurricanes hitting the coast are also due to climate disruption.

If both sides of the equation are used as symptoms of the problem, the problem is likely false.

No need for logic. Everyone knows people buy on emotion!

From an article discussing 2013 tornadoes:

Lowest tornado activity in 60 years

So what do we do now?

Change the term to "Climate Disruption".

I mean, it's really laughable at this point.

Anyone who says "Climate Disruption" literally cannot think for themselves.

Ahh! So that's why we didn't have another massive storm in New England between 1938 and 2012. REGULATIONS!

I mean, it couldn't have anything to do with natural weather cycles could it?

Wait??? IS THAT HOW WE CAME OUT OF THE ICE AGE?

Those sneaky caveman democrats and their regulations!
