In the global warming mind a blizzard would be 'extreme weather' would it not?

While the global cooling crowd would call a Chinook 'wild weather' that blow the snow right off the land. Wild to say the least.

An annual report released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found climate change was a factor, however small or large, in 24 of 30 strange weather events. They include 11 cases of high heat, as well as unusual winter sunshine in the United Kingdom, Alaskan wildfires and odd "sunny day" flooding in Miami.

There are 2 side of the debate. The Scientific alarmist's make some good points, but so does the Scientific debunkers. The 'shrinking glaciers' was scary when it was announced that a chunk of ice the size of Chicago had fallen broken off Pine Island!, well turns out that iceberg break every year in the Antarctic summer. In actuality, the Antarctic ice sheet has been growing since 1979 (2013 & 2014 set new growth records). Carbon Emissions! this one needs to be controlled, but not with more expensive means: wind/ solar power has already killed millions of bats and birds!! plus the economic hardship is not acceptable. Countries with the means to do it should be investing in the extraction of natural gas in 'their' own country, even though fracking is unpopular, it is better than using coal.

I thought the "AGW" designation was tossed out in favour of "climate change"?

Anyways the forests of the world are still shrinking, the oceans are filling up with plastic all the while we cut out 0.1% of the worlds emmisions. Good job Canada!!!!

Only in the minds of the gullible cult followers.If your leaders actually believed the garbage they sell you they wouldn't be flying around the world in private jets to have parties.

Fossil Fuel companies are the ones deceiving the gullible and they're the ones that want you to deny the reality of AGW.

I seriously doubt you would accept the changes and challenges you would have to face to eliminate the use of fossil fuel in you're own daily life. So understand we take you're comments relative to this subject with a very big grain of salt;)

We also doubt you're true conviction on this subject due to the fact you have yet to challenge China, India on their levels of world pollution.

We suspect you have interior motives other then The environment influencing you're obvious personal propaganda agenda.

Like a great hatred of America, and seeing its destruction.

You wasted all that time when no one said give up fossil fuels.

You see, assumptions like this is why people think you're dumb.

Actually they aren't because then they wouldn't get subsidies.

But you're government subsidizes fossil fuel too. Why is it wrong for ours to do so?

China subsidizes fossil fuel including many other industry. Why not criticize them?

Yes. You said that was the goal.
