Have you ever noticed?
When there is unseasonably cold weather in the winter, there always that group that says, "See? This proves there is no global warming."

But when there is the ridiculous heat we've had this summer, they are not saying, "hmmm, maybe there IS something to this global warming after all."

3. Yes I have, such as when we had the warmest March on record here in Wisconsin with no snow.
Although unseasonably cold or warm weather is just that--"weather" and not climate change until it becomes the normal weather for a particular region.

I have lived in WI for over 50 years and have known it to get very hot here in the summer and very cold in the winter. The University of Wisconsin has projected that in 50 years our winters here will be like those of southern Iowa, so they will be much warmer. In 100 years the winters here will be like that of Arkansas, but without their hot summers. The point of this study is to determine what crops and plant life that currently thrive here will no longer grow well and how all of this will impact animal life.

4. the problem there is that the predictions were always for stronger storms so..
.. when D.C. gets a huge blizzard and all the deniers use that as evidence that Climate Change is false they are missing the point entirely.

Nobody ever said that the stronger storms would not occur in winter. The truth is that more heat means more energy and that means more energetic storms, all year round.

8. Don't worry, it'll snow again this winter and all will be forgotten again.

11. The Great Lakes are no longer getting their usual winter ice cover.
The resulting open and warmer water is causing more lake effect snow to fall, and more enhanced snowfall from regular winter storms.
More snow in winter you say? Well that proves global warming is a hoax...doesn't it?
