Global Warming: Like 'Weather on Steroids'
By CLAYTON SANDELL | Good Morning America – 16 hrs ago


Are we "doping" our atmosphere?

What's going on with these record warm temperatures… extreme snowfall… even January tornadoes?

Is climate change the cause? Or more appropriately, what impact is climate change having on our weather?

To help answer those questions, a group of researchers has just released a new online guide for understanding the links between more extreme weather and a warming planet. .............(more)

2. bookmarked for future use, thanks

but I wish that a simpler message was out there. The "it is just so complicated" meme isn't helping. It gives the deniers a chance to say that it is just so complicated that the people who believe in it just don't get it.


IMO we should dumb it down as much as possible, for example:

We know that adding carbon to the atmosphere causes the atmosphere to hold more heat. This is a proven fact that can be tested in the lab and confirmed through ice core samples and the fossil record.

We also know that we are adding carbon to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.

Therefore we know that our burning of fossil fuels causes the atmosphere to hold more heat and that is what we call global warming aka climate change.
