Consensus proves Global Warming exists.

More Americans accept climate change is real - Times LIVE
So...what caused tornadoes 100 years ago?

The climate is ALWAYS changing.

Notice, no word on whether the respondents think it is man made.

I believe weather did not vary much prior to 1935. Tornados did not exist prior to 1900.

Only the foolhardy believe that you can pump a hundred trillion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere without it having some effect on climate.

Wow, another GW thread from joebald....

I wonder why he disregards the last few million years when it comes to the cycles of global warming and global cooling.

I'm not foolhardy: I'm hoping that we can forestall the inevitable return of the Ice Age. Half the country covered under ice a mile thick! Boy, would that be tough on the ecology! The responsible thing to do is keep on pumping out that carbon--and hope the warmists are right.

Tonight's trivia question: Since the North American continent was formed, how many times has it been mostly covered in ice for thousands of years at a time?

In my opinion , it would be easier to deal with armadillos in North Dakota and palm trees in Ohio than chip several hundred vertical feet of ice off my driveway.

I didn't realize the temperature changed the second you stepped outside of Chicago's boundaries. Or perhaps Chicago is located on a different planet
