Is this just weather or climate change?

Never mind the AGW advocates. They think CO2 increases are linear with temperature increases, yet they claim that the warming is hidden in the planet somewhere. The simple fact is that CO2 has limits in its warming capacity : http://tallbloke.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/bryce... One has to remember what the mission is of climate science : "It is to prove that humans are causing the planet to warm with their GHG emissions." Every last AGW proponent here knows that this is the mission of the IP CC.

Both the UK and Germany are kept warm during winter by the thermohaline circulation which is endangered by warming temperatures due to decreased salinity. Global warming could very easily result in those two locations cooling by 5 Celsius You have no basis in your idiocy but it is likely just weather as the thermohaline circulation has only slowed down so far.

the weather conditions are just awful this year. i'm from germany and last year at the same time it was 25°C (77°F), what is pretty normal for the end of March. The climate doesn't completely change within one year, i guess we just have too much east wind this time which presses all the cold air from russia/siberia over the european continent.

<<I suppose this is just weather, but if it were hot it would be climate change.<<

Some might make that claim, but far fewer than the number of Deniers who think they can see global climate from their back porch.

Scientists are currently studying the relationship between extreme weather events and climate.

Deniers, of course, are not studying anything - science really isn't their "thing."

Weather It likes to play tricks . I think nature is curing the drought and lack of snow

from the once a decade mild winter last year .

On the news one was worried about the Mississippi river flooding from the melt . I doubt that because its low on water and they need it.

I remember a mild winter in the 1990s and the next year the highs were 10 and the lows

-10 . That lasted a couple weeks .

Why do deniers insist on citing conspiracy theorist blogs/sites? These people are not scientists.

Scientists measure reality, and the reality is that the planet is warming.

Alarmists will just say "Oh, local isn't global."

Then when you say it's across most of the Northern Hemisphere they'll say.

"Oh, it's just weather."

Of course there was a bad hot spell last year in the USA and they didn't seem to offer any qualifiers at that time...just "This is proof of Global Warming" and "This is what Global Warming looks like".

Insane people are deemed insane because they can't face reality.

Things from science are not hoaxes, just because you are too lazy to try to understand them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0vj-0imOLw&feature...

Cherry picking, are you really that stupid? Sadly, yes
