Latest word is there simply isn't any climate warming over the last 15 years ...
We've just had the worst cold in 70 years.
Contrary to popular belief or indoctrination, we are not witnessing more extreme weather.
We are obviously seeing it more often in a sensationalist , globalized media landscape.
For most of the weather's effects, we are to blame, though not through climate change, but because of how many of us there are, where we want to live and how we want to build houses and infrastructure - forever increasing the paved surfaces.
Latest trend here is to pave just about the whole front yard !
What isn't paved, is covered in gravel spread out over a plant-barrier.
Why are people surprised when places like Pensacola Beach or Bangladesh get washed away ?
They shouldn't be.
It's barely above the water !
Why aren't houses in Tornado alley built to withstand high(er) wind velocities ?
Why does most of the US still put small powerlines above the ground - we've been digging them in, gives far less trouble (if you keep track of where they went) .
Why build a house next to an eroding cliff face or a river ?
We are dumb-asses, bringing weather mayhem over ourselves, then blame the weather for it.
Our winters are winters again, the kind our parents and grandparents knew.
And summers are summers again, the kind that produced great wines.
The main issue is that we're burning far too much oil (and other materials) far too quickly while no new oil is being made by nature to compensate for our consumption.
