Here we have several examples of GW skeptics refusing to take a scientific look at the data, and attempting to mislead (whether deliberately or out of ignorance).
The Colorado mountains are under a Memorial Day snow advisory. Residents expect up to 8 inches of snow. Damned global warming.
...
And South Africa sets 54 cold weather records as snow and ice continue...
More damned global warming. (Hot air.)
I think with you it is probably just ignorance of the science.
Global warming doesn't mean everywhere gets hotter. It means the average temperature of the planet increases. However, that average increase will have different effects in different places. Some places will get colder and/or wetter than they were before. Others will become hotter and dryer.
More to the point, forecasters predict an increase in so-called "extreme weather" events with global warming. And what are we seeing? Time to look at the actual data.
Global Warming is not political to those who follow it. It is a religion, and all non-believers are criticized and cast as heretics and non-believers. The arrogance of the GW crowd matches that of religion...
There has been a determined industry of spin doctors over recent years who have worked hard to create a false impression that global warming is simply not occurring. At a time when most climatologists accept that human-caused global warming is occurring, the general public could be forgiven for thinking that it's more like a 50-50 bet, and that scientists still don't know. But that's a function of PR, not science.
You complain about the arrogance of the "GW crowd". What about the arrogance of the "GW deniers crowd"?
Global warming (global hot air) is a crock. We have MUCH bigger problems than global warming.
Well, you're the expert. You'll tell us how it is.
Sure, but everytime we have a heat wave, it's trotted out as evidence of global warming. Even hurricane Katrina was seen as evidence of global warming (as though there were no hurricanes in the past!). If an ice sheet melts, it's global warming. Never mind that as some melt, others grow.
This is obfuscation. I don't know whether you're just parroting something you read somewhere else. If so, please take some time to look at the facts.
Hurricane Katrina was an extreme weather event. When was the last time a major US city was decimated by a category 5 hurricane? But never mind that - perhaps it was a fluke that it hit a city. Try instead looking at the frequency of category 5 and greater hurricanes in general in recent years. Tell me what you discover, and then suggest a reason.
Ice sheets, you say? Do a little research on the Greenland ice sheet, and tell me what you find.
We're sick of this crap, so we muddy the waters a bit ourselves.
So, your obfuscation is deliberate? You know that GW is happening, but you wish to deny it? What's in it for you? HAve you actually thought through the consequences of denial?
