This is the 4th brutal winter since 2009 for much of the US. These long brutal winters use more fossil fuels, especially heating oil.

I don't care if it's 1 degree warmer in Siberia or an ice cap is melting (the weather stations in these regions read higher than actual anyway due to age). The world could use the extra potable water and the US could use the warming. I think we should encourage pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere through tax credits. Ever feel how comfortable and lively it is in a greenhouse?

Never fear, warming continues..

Last month was the second-warmest January on record globally, trailing only 2007, according to data released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Climate records go back to 1880. January second-warmest on record globally

This should be the thread title. There would be an actual topic.

Precisely rather than deliberate and obtuse self-deception. The childish intention to misunderstand the nature of climate change to rationalize harmful behaviors one want to rationalize protecting has really got to stop.

Correct: But this time it is due to human action rather than just a natural process.
