Yep, as the planet warms it gets colder.

The earth heats and cools periodically. Fact.

AGW, unproven theory.

Because, obviously, those self-proclaimed "experts" have a vested interest in the promotion and propagation of their theories, which have been steadily losing credibility, as more of the facts (as opposed to the juvenile-oriented hype) are brought to light.

Enlighten us on these facts that dispute the findings of the climatological community.

Fast forward to Feb. 22, 1982, with 'Centerfold' at #1 on the charts to be followed by 'I Love Rock And Roll' and the high temperature was a toasty 87 degrees.


Still haven't heard any explanations for last month's polar vortex, either.


President Trump is correct---'Global warming is a hoax'.

If the loony lefties wanna try and 'fix' it, let them pay for it.
What if they switch to saying that it's really Global Cooling, will that be a hoax to you, too?

Your analogy misses the mark.

If we were trying to make the case that the Earth is getting drier (for example), the fact that some areas are receiving record rainfall (something that can be accurately measured, BTW) would counter global dehydration claims.

By itself, the additional precipitation doesn't really decide the issue one way or the other, but all that extra rain doesn't bolster the claims of the "Driers."

As for global warming, we have even less evidence that changes are taking place and no real temperature record to compare current readings to.

Moreover, it would be impossible to account for all the changes that have taken place over many decades, such as changes in cloud cover density, cloud type and elevation, water vapor present in the air, the Earth's albedo and the effect of reduced Ozone levels in the stratosphere.

So, reflexively attribution warming that may or may not be occurring to increased atmospheric CO2

We have very little verifiable information, so we are left to guess, and this guessing is done with each side putting their thumb on the scale.

The promise of free money to third-world countries (warming reparations) doesn't inspire me with confidence in their surface temperature measuring regiments...again, more thumbs on the scales.

The very definition is man caused global warming. When you allow them to use the term climate change interchangeably with AGW, they can then claim you are denying climate change. I do not deny climate change, what I do deny is man's effect on the climate.

For the month of February where I live in eastern Washington state, we averaged 17F below normal for the month and the hottest day of the month was 8F below the average temp for the month. March to date has been much colder than average with the first 12 days predicted to be about 20-30F below normal. It's 6F outside now with a windchill of -5F...Global warming (so called) is freezing my ass off.
