Energy producers, manufacturers, and utility providers represent trillions in the global economy.... The amount of research and payroll doesn't even begin to touch that much money. Regardless, the climate is something we should study as it is pretty important.
The Republican up for the head slot of the Science and Technology Commission or whatever its name is think you should just trust in magical beings. I find that hilarious and sad at the same time.
Threads like this one should be amusing, but then you read the replies and come to the realization that, yes, there are so many ignorant people in this country who feel that a cold snap or a bad winter negates the average global temperature increases that are directly linked to the use of carbon based fossil fuels that, well, it is really not funny after all. We cannot properly address this problem if are elected officials continue to be on Exxon's and the Koch Brothers payroll and do their bidding in denying basic science to their buffoon supporters who vote for them and believe what they say.
This year very well may be the hottest ever recorded, yet the first cold spell and all the sheep start braying that there is no such thing as climate change.
Every year i keep hearing the same old story global warming is real and yet every year the following keeps happening....someone is not telling the truth
I'm getting some popcorn and waiting to see the barrage of pro-agw zealots try to rationalize that the colder it gets the more it's AGW to blame.
... Warmer air in the polar regions forces the jet stream south, and in this case the remnants of Typhoon Nuri pumped a lot of warm, moist air into the western Pacific and pushed it into the far north....That warm air is pushing the jet stream far to the south causing the cold event.
The warmer the Arctic gets, the further south the jet stream will dip... Over the past 30 years, the Arctic has warmed more than any other region on earth, so expect more cold winter weather in east USA and Canada.
