To all the nitwits who think Global Warming is fake because it’s cold at their house:

" Did you also say that “World War II” was a fake since not every place on the globe was a battlefield?

No?

That’s what we thought. So shut the f***ing f*** up about “global warming”. Thank you.

1. I do think that Global Warming isn't the best term.

It's the one we are stuck with; and I understand that it is partially accurate; but I think Extreme Climate Change is more accurate? Because seriously every cold day people say stupid things about global warming.

3. That is a part of it. Scientists are not always great at communicating with laypeople.

Global warming is an accurate term, but open to misinterpretation by the average schmuck, and to misuse by the malevolent motherfuckers who make money off the status quo.

7. Global warming is the most accurate term in describing the root cause. Climate change

is just the symptom, human induced or magnified global warming is the disease.

11. That's the way I think of it.

"Human caused, Accelerated Global Climate Change"

2. This unusal cold is evidence of climate change...

how often is it 27 degrees in San Diego

8. To be fair you can't use one unusual weather event to prove anything. ...

The record low temperature in San Diego was 25 degrees F and occurred on January 7, 1913.

It doesn't help the cause to claim that every heat wave, cold wave or hurricane proves global climate change is real. When you do so you make global climate change appear to be more of a religion than science. Long term trends are far more reliable.

I remember that it snowed in Tampa Florida in 1977 and enough snow accumulated for my daughter to make a small snowman. It hasn't snowed that much since. If it does snow like that several times per year in the next decade it might show a trend. If the winter temperature in Tampa does not fall below 45 degrees for the next decade but record high temperatures are recorded every year, that might also show a trend.

I don't dispute global climate change and I personally believe that pollution may significantly contribute to this phenomenon. Unfortunately if global climate change is our fault, we may not have time to study long term trends.

Even if it isn't a significant factor, pollution does harm our environment in many ways and is detrimental to all living species on our planet. Therefore I support efforts to replace our reliance on fossil fuel with a more environmentally clean source.

4. Extreme weather

has always existed. The blizzard of 1888 on the Great Plains was perhaps an even greater example of extreme weather than our current deep freeze. Temps plummeted from balmy spring-like warmth to negative numbers literally within a few hours.

5. Yeah!

Oh and by the way "all you can eat" really doesn't mean that.

And the little nine on the gas price doesn't really mean 9/10.

Oh and yield, does not mean stop

And submarine sandwich doesn't mean it will still be good after you put it under water.

Some people.

12. I remember the story of Dilbert's dad.

Went to a 24/7/365 "all you can eat" restaurant and never came out, because... You get the idea.

6. I don't think you've any doubters on DU, maybe some trolls

9. Global Warming or Climate Change will bring us a new ice age.

[Jenoch]

10. Ot annoys me when people comment on

current 'weather' and say it has anything to do with climate.

[malaise]

13. But but but

USA is 'the globe' - don't yah know it. USA! USA! USA!

[riqster]

14. Ah yes, since we were attacked, it was a Global War on Terror

Silly me!

[malaise]

15. Now get with the program

[riqster]

16. Sorry. I will stop listening to the Morans.
