It is climate change, not warming and the weather does seem VERY weird here, we have had rain almost daily, record rainfalls in fact. Some places will actually get colder - some hotter.
Wow. Imagine -- the climate actually changing. THAT'S never happened before.
It's truly wondrous how the commencement of that phenomenon can be pinned so exactly to the moment that people started talking about it...
Thus does religious fervor define and express itself. Instead of a burning bush, behold unseasonable weather.

The Hadley Centre for Climate Change, part of the UK Met Office, tracks global temperature and shows a big drop in global temperature anomalies since January 2007. Based on the HadCRUT3 system of observed temperatures, global surface temperature anomalies have been trending down since 2001. January 2008 had the coldest anomaly since 1995.
Marc Morano is the resident authority on global warming with the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works minority staff. He says according to records kept by the United Nations, global average temperatures peaked during the El Nino year of 1998 -- and that since 2001, the temperature trend has declined slightly.
Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming
Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years

All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.
You guys go ahead and make fun of climate change. You wait, in about six months most states will start to experience weather so cold that water will freeze. Then you see.
Dude, it was 55 last night, and almost 90 today here in NJ. The climate change just in the last 12 hours is FREAKING ME OUT!!
That is not climate change, that is weather.
Climate refers to long-term weather patterns.
