Remember how just a few months ago, people like Sean Hannity were claiming that global warming was a farce because it was snowing in Washington, D.C.?
Remember how some fool on CDF was claiming that global warming was real because it was hot in the summer?

The point is that neither hot nor cold weather conditions in the short-term should be used to make conclusions about the overall climate. The link I cited is about an actual study by real scientists. The ramblings of Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck about climate change should be treated as merely background noise.

This is of course true. But you will find similar results in the "creationism" is real science thread.

You listen to enough BS each day, every day, you can fit square pegs into round holes no problems.

Those studies are not worth the paper they are written on. People know it is SUMMER and in the SUMMER it sometimes gets HOT. I guess everybody has forgot the RECORD COLD of last winter already. I have not because I am out in it both day and night. Last winter there were a few days when it got down to 16 DEGREES which is almost unheard of here.

Default Hot and Cold

If it's hot, that's proof there's global warming. If it's cold, that's proof there's climate change, which is a part of global warming. Only way to solve this- Cap and Tax.

It doesn't take more than a pair of eyes, a functioning brain and a proper instrument to realize that just driving into and away from cities, where humans have the greatest influence, can demonstrate dramatic temperature variations.
Its the same with the global warmings people plus they lie. That they are not beleieved is their own fault.

Weren't you just pointing to a cold winter as proof that global warming didn't exist not too long ago? Yet here you are with this little doozy.
