Severe and extreme weather every night on nightly news

Then you're not paying attention extreme and severe weather are the new buzzwords for global warming

No, they're not.

It's still global warming, which causes changes in local climates, hence climate change. One of the predicted results of global warming is more extreme weather.

Thank you for making my point. It is no longer call it global warming because iit is not warming so they changed it to extreme weather.

In your parallel universe, I suppose that telling you you're wrong and that it is still called global warming and hasn't been "changed to extreme weather" is making your point for you.

Here, however, in what we refer to as the real world, I actually did the exact opposite.

Here, the sky is blue, and sometimes grey. Currently, it is black with little points of light here and there. What's it like where you are?

It's like you didn't even read what he posted.

Dude you are so yesterday. They changed it from global warming to climate change because too many global warming events got snowed out. So now extreme or severe weather are the buzzwords of the day because it doesn't matter whether it's cold or whether it's hot or whether it's dry or whether it's wet it is climate change ,scary, scary scary stuff.

So, is it still blue there, or is it a nice pastel shade of orange? Just who is this "they" who changed the terminology? According to this "they", then reports of flooding in Arizona and Southern California are really global warming, and not the result of a hurricane? The news here still says it's the result of a hurricane, and even shows satellite pictures of it.

Are you saying that global warming isn't happening?
 
My goal here is not to change the minds of true believers like you, it is o maybe wake a few people up on how the liberal media try's to get you to think a certain way on this and many other subjects. Maybe tonight when they watch the news and see the extreme weather report a light bulb will go off.

If you watch the weather reports, you're gonna be doomed! DOOMED, I tell ya! Poisoned by all them chemtrails that they're trying to get you to breathe.
 
I dunno... generally speaking, when they say it's going to rain tomorrow or the next day, it rains. Sometimes, they miss, but not often. I think if they said there was a hurricane bearing down on me, I'd head for the hills.

Wouldn't you?

Weather isn't climate. I work outside 6 to 8 hours a day. Give a a suit, a clean shave and access to the same info the weather people have and I'm them.

That's right, weather ISN'T climate. So "it snowed today" is not a sufficient debunking of global warming.

Glad we could have this talk.

"They" would be those trying to convince you that man is having an impact on weather. "They" would be those saying hurricanes and flooding are "extreme" weather caused by global warming which is no longer warming but climate change. The warming thing is falling flat as ice increases at both polls.
 
Are you saying that global warming isn't happening?

As of late no but I do agree that earth has been warming since the last ice age and will continue to warm until we start going into the next ice age. That is the normal cycle for this beautiful blue planet.

Really? Are they out to get us, then? I guess I'm not listening to "them", as I've yet to hear of the phrase "extreme weather" being substituted for "global warming." Now, I would say that hurricanes and flooding are extreme weather events, but weather is what they are. The ice increasing where you vote, as well as in Antarctica, is a weather phenomenon as well.
 
In other words, the exact same weather patterns continue to occur as it has for thousands of years.

The lazy, pathetic, ultra-biased, self-aggrandizing, insecure, stupid media....
 
Are you saying that global warming isn't happening?

No, we're saying that it's ALWAYS happened. It warms, it cools, it warms, it cools.

Liberals think history began the day they were born. LOL

You are aware of the fact that the earth has not warmed in nearly two decades aren't you? Maybe why that is why they stopped calling it global warming. Maybe because the polls are both gaining ice is why they stopped calling it global warming and switched to climate change and maybe that is why the liberal media is now using the new buzz words for the AGW movement. Severe and extreme weather are the new focused grouped words of the day and the big three use them as often as possible.

Maybe the fact that the earth has not actually warmed in 17 years is sufficient though? I know the AGW so called scientist are calling it a pause but those of us who don't make our living by trying to prove the AGW hypotheses is true need to take pause ourselves.

Don't bother arguing with these people over the claimed difference between weather and climate. The fact that an accumulation of weather data is the basis for climate science as it exists right now is lost on these zealots because they can't address it without damaging their cause.

It is like talking to a brick wall. I guess I think if I hit hard enough and often enough with the sledge hammer of facts, truth and logic the wall may come crashing down. Dream on huh.

I believe you mean 'fact'.

Because only wingnuts actually believe its true. Scientists who study this have been pretty clear on this point.

Substitute 'scientists' for 'zealots' and it clarifies your position well.

They,meaning the climate scientists, are still calling it global warming.

Moreover, they don't care a fig what you or I may call it or whether we think it's real or not.

Get over it. The AGW scientist are admitting the earth has not warmed and are desperately trying to come up with an explanation.

"The biggest mystery in climate science today may have begun, unbeknownst to anybody at the time, with a subtle weakening of the tropical trade winds blowing across the Pacific Ocean in late 1997. These winds normally push sun-baked water towards Indonesia. When they slackened, the warm water sloshed back towards South America, resulting in a spectacular example of a phenomenon known as El Niño. Average global temperatures hit a record high in 1998 — and then the warming stalled."

"For several years, scientists wrote off the stall as noise in the climate system: the natural variations in the atmosphere, oceans and biosphere that drive warm or cool spells around the globe. But the pause has persisted, sparking a minor crisis of confidence in the field. Although there have been jumps and dips, average atmospheric temperatures have risen little since 1998, in seeming defiance of projections of climate models and the ever-increasing emissions of greenhouse gases. Climate sceptics have seized on the temperature trends as evidence that global warming has ground to a halt. Climate scientists, meanwhile, know that heat must still be building up somewhere in the climate system, but they have struggled to explain where it is going, if not into the atmosphere. Some have begun to wonder whether there is something amiss in their models."

Yeah. They resort to insult immediately, and post a graph. We all know that posting a graph makes it warmer outside than it presently is.
