If climate change alarmists weren't a threat to economic prosperity and personal liberty they would be very entertaining and highly valued in tense times when we could all use some comic relief.
Active hurricane seasons are caused by global warming. Passive hurricane seasons apparently are also caused by global warming. Lots of snow, global warming. Absence of snow, you guessed it, global warming. Incongruous events of drought and flood are simultaneously the result of global warming and more global warming. Is there anything that is not a consequence of global warming? Red Sox finally break the curse of the Bambino...brought to you I assume by global warming.
When I opened today's RTD to see the front page adorned with an article connecting the tragic tornadoes in the midwest with global warming, I laughed not at the tragedy, but at the predictability of the conclusions drawn by climate change zealots. I knew this was coming, I was only surprised that it had taken this long to find its way into the media.
Apparently the only constant in our lives untouched by the reach of global warming is the perpetual futility of the Chicago Cubs pursuit of a world series championship. Happily something is more powerful than the reach of global warming, and if you have watched the Cubs play this year, I am sure you will agree.

It may be silly when non-scientist reporters throw "global warming" into every weather-related article, but I hope (knowing your background and education as I do) that you don't disbelieve the basic science.

I have read compelling scientific arguements on both sides of the equation. I think there is ample evidence to both support and refute the position of globla warming. I am amuzed by the folk who proclaim the discussion over. The reality I see is that the span of time we can observe is so insignificant in the history of global temperature, that any conclusion we draw is hard to take seriously - whether we are warming or cooling. I think our ability to affect change is limited....but no one will confuse me with a scientist:)
Hmm... My guess would be that funding for most of the studies purporting to refute global warming could be traced to the Koch brothers. ;)

Following the money is always illuminating without a doubt.
I would be giving the RTD writers too much credit if I thought they were part of any original thinking on this topic. They are best at jumping on bandwagons and reporting the agenda as news...some things don't change:)
