Record snow and cold in the US, I guess this is Global Warming at it's worst?
@Kevin we have an abundance of natural gas which greatly reduces the dependence on foreign oil
@ Girl Rising increased condensation means more moisture in the atmosphere not cold air.
@ Bob so what's your answer to meeting our energy needs? solar? Wind? Nuclear?
OK Climate Change. It does change, sometimes it's warm sometimes it's cold. That's the point. It's not just one direction on the thermometer.
@ Cindy LG you are correct. My backyard is not the entire planet. But how do you explain my temperatures and snow falls breaking records? Second snowiest winter on record because the earth is warming. Yea OK.

Ha ha, we all know this is just the weather.
To see the effect of global warming, you have to average out the temperatures over 10 or 15 years.

As Its Global Warming Narrative Unravels, The IPCC Is In Damage Control Mode
9/26/2013
'According to most climate models, we should have seen temperatures rise by around 0.25 degrees Celsius (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 10 years. That hasn’t happened. In fact, the increase over the last 15 years was just 0.06 degrees Celsius (0.11 degrees Fahrenheit) — a value very close to zero,” Storch told der Spiegel. “This is a serious scientific problem that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will have to confront when it presents its next Assessment Report late next year.”
'“At my institute, we analyzed how often such a 15-year stagnation in global warming occurred in the simulations. The answer was: in under 2 percent of all the times we ran the simulation. In other words, over 98 percent of forecasts show CO2 emissions as high as we have had in recent years leading to more of a temperature increase,” Storch explained.'
Orrrrr... maybe not.
Would you believe, 30 years....
ya, that's the ticket.

Climate scientists warned us that as the average temperature of the atmosphere rose we would see stronger, more violent weather. This would include more and stronger hurricanes and tornadoes and even blizzards. Which is just what we're seeing.
You are confusing 'climate' with 'weather'. A lot of global warming deniers do this on purpose. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. 8^) But you're still wrong!
Weather is caused by the contrast between two pools of air, warm and cold, moist and dry, high and low pressure. A higher average temperature means more energy in the atmosphere so stronger contrasts, therefore stronger weather.

Here's the real question. If scientists are wrong about climate change, then all the liberal plan would do is ensure that we have a renewable energy source that relieved us of dependence upon foreign oil which is a finite resource. If they are right, and we do nothing, your children will not have a planet to live on. You feel lucky?

Yes it is, er wait, it's climate change, yeah climate change, that's the ticket. It's actually called winter, it like all other things is cyclical, we have 125 years only of data, and it shows less than a 1 degree difference. Grant money has perverted science.

don't laugh it is true its just climate change...it happens...yeah it does, weather changes dude
sigh, ski_tyme yet another person who doesn't understand anything besides what their teachers told them to believe who has lived and worked exclusively indoors except to ski, he who only believes the media and the DNC.

Um...actually...yes.
Forget the word "warming" I think that's why so many people are getting confused.
Climate change happened during the Ice Age. Climate Change is not strictly limited to warm weather.

Yes. Earth warms up, condensation= more snow rain
