"Global warming" hasn't been the term for a while, except with the ignorant. Pick your camp, I guess.

Washington Posts climate journalist produced an image of the polar vortex with undulations caused by global warming that is the cause for our cold today but in 1977 they had an image exactly like the current one and said global cooling was causing the undulations causing the extreme cold back then so which is it hmmm

I suggest people buying crap they push you from the mass media to start demanding their corrupted politicians not to take money from "climate warming" lobbyists.

Not that it will do any good to explain the difference between "weather" and "climate" to illiterati who have made up their minds and refuse to consider/learn anything else, but here definitions from a variety of sources:

https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/n...e_weather.html

https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/...r_climate.html

https://www.nationalgeographic.org/a...ts-difference/

https://biodifferences.com/differenc...d-climate.html

https://nsidc.org/cryosphere/arctic-...s_weather.html

Sometimes I wish C-D mods would just shut these useless climate change/global warming threads every time they rear their ugly heads. They don't accomplish anything.

His big mansion is at least 40,000 square feet. That seems like a lot of house to heat/cool for someone so concerned about the environment.

All one has to look at is the rapidly accelerating temperatures globally, the melting glaciers in Greenland, the Alps, and Canada and rising oceans to know that it is real. Climate change does not exist for those who are like an ostrich and stick their head in the sand; it is always cool there and there is no change.
