Whoever is running this climate change hoax is doing an excellent job.

Snow 10 or so days ago. 80 degrees today. Thunderstorms and a cold front this weekend. Do they work for Steven Spielberg or George Lucas?

[BiggJawn]

1. Killer tornados up through the Ohio River valley...

And more expected for tomorrow...
Yeah, they must have bought all that old Soviet weather-changing technology on eBay and are using it...

[mmonk]

2. I knew I should have bought that.

[2ndAmForComputers]

21. At first look I read "Killer tomatoes."

[BiggJawn]

22. Those will come along about mid-July

But it's almost warm enough to set 'em out now...

[joe1991]

3. they're good aren't they?!

I'm trying to figure out how they fake all those photos and video of melting glaciers.

Do they hire a bunch of illegals to aim hair dryers at them for days, or is it all CGI effects?

[mmonk]

5. All effects most likely.

[dogknob]

8. Bwahahahahaha!

Hair dryers!

There's some good ones on that topic here...

4. They made it seem like there was practically no winter here...

They are really determined to fool us.

[mmonk]

6. Yep. With that determination, they can literally move mountains.

[MotorCityMan]

7. You are not kidding

Here in Michigan, last year we had a ton of snow, all winter long. This winter, there has been no substantial snow and mild temperatures all season long. Today was 43 degrees, sunny, almost spring-like.

[PatSeg]

9. We just got our first real snowfall

since last October - in New Hampshire!

Yeah, these people are really good.

[Blue_In_AK]

10. We're getting no breaks up here.

Here in Anchorage we've had almost twice as much snow as normal (almost 120 inches) and are only 13 inches off from the record snowfall for an entire season, with two snowy months, March and April, left. We would be more than happy to share with you guys.

[mmonk]

13. You won't have to.

It will change next year. You'll be water skiing. These guys are good.

[DCBob]

11. Tornados in February in the midwest.

Thats got to be a first.

[longship]

12. Weather not equal to Climate

Weather is what's happening outside right now. You know. Rain, snow, sunshine, warm today cold tomorrow, tornado on the way somewhere, hurricane somewhere else, or just a nice sunny day. That's weather.

Climate is something entirely different. While weather is local, climate is global. Yes, climate can affect weather. But just because it's warm or cold today or tomorrow doesn't mean that the planet is or isn't warming. (BTW, there's multiple chains of evidence that says it is and almost none that says it isn't.)

I guess we can discuss whether climate change is human driven (it appears that it is, at least in part). Or, what we should do about it (a political issue, one to which intelligent people can find a consensus).

But to outright deny that the planet isn't warming ain't gonna fly at this point. There's just too much evidence to the contrary.

[mmonk]

15. I know.

In past periods of global climate change, it has usually taken much longer periods of time. I do think we have contributed to it. The sheer tonnage of gases we have added to the atmosphere has to have added an effect (much more rapid that nature could have added otherwise).

[RebelOne]

14. 74 today and the same tomorrow here in North Georgia.

Our temperatures are normally in the 50s at this time. I feel like I am back in South Florida, where I do not want to be.

[Junkdrawer]

16. Anyone else frightened about the insects and food supply implications of a winter like this?

Has to play hell with the dormant stage of some crops.

[BelgianMadCow]

19. yes. The december spring plus the january/february winter from hell

cannot stay without repercussions. My roses were flowering in december for a third time. Now they look dead. Just anecdotal, I know.
I also remeber the white-nose-diseased bats that had to do with the weird wheather.

Our ecosystem and especially food supply depends on all sort of small critters.

Just saying, you are not alone in your fears.

I counter that with gardening (which reminds me it's potato planting time).

[liberal_mama]

17. I agree! There is no snow in Buffalo!

I've lived in Buffalo my whole life. We had no snow (well, maybe an inch or two) this whole winter. It's crazy. I'm already seeing insects hatching outside. What is going on? We had no winter in Buffalo, the lake didn't even freeze and it's supposed be 60 degrees this week.

I feel robbed. I love to curl up on the couch and watch the snow fall.

[Uncle Joe]

18. Apparently they're even making the oceans more acidic at the fastest pace of the past 300 million

years.

If that trend continues, you can kiss the food chain goodbye, at least the one we're used to.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The world's oceans are turning acidic at what could be the fastest pace of any time in the past 300 million years, even more rapidly than during a monster emission of planet-warming carbon 56 million years ago, scientists said on Thursday.

Thanks for the thread, mmonk.

20. It may be freakishly cold in your area, but its freakishly warm elsewhere

If you're not being sarcastic, look at the overall picture. Something isn't right about the whether. I think its either being caused by C02 emissions or chemtrails as a desperate effort to curb climate change or both.
