February bucks the trend

Here in Colorado, we just had a mammoth snowstorm. Front Range gets the drift with heavy snow
Denver Post writes:
February is typically so dry in metro Denver that the average snowfall for the entire month is 6.57 inches. The most snow previously received in 24 hours in a February was 12 inches in 1931, according to Weather Central .
Im not sure that many around here would be global warming advocates at this moment, but we probably will again support the theory if we get a dry Spring and Summer.

Re: February bucks the trend
Are you being serious right now Phat? When you have a hot summer, is that going to be evidence for you that "global warming" (now dubbed climate change, fyi) is occurring?
hint: "global warming" isn't what you think it is. "Global warming" isn't even the commonly used term any more. And for good reason.

Re: February bucks the trend
Actually, I was not being serious. I respect evidence as much as the next guy, and I think its quite undeniable that this planet is gonna have some major climate change over the next 100 years.

Re: February bucks the trend
Have you looked at the various US or World climate maps?
Do you know the current extent of drought in those parts of the US that produce a considerable amount of our food?
Have you followed the history of wild fires over the last decade and the losses over the last few years?

Re: And Other Reasons there's no Snow in January
I am for one freaking out about the current weather. You hear almost nothing from Global warming deniers as of late when heat records all over the country are being broken daily.
Have we once and for all witnessed in our life times climate change?

One should never confuse short term spikes with long term warming. One is not the other. We could have long term cooling and still have occasions where the temp spikes.

In the UK we've had no summer. All we have had is rain and more rain.

feeling the heat
You hear almost nothing from Global warming deniers as of late when heat records all over the country are being broken daily.
And they're right to remain silent (for the most part). We're talking about a dangerous global temperature raise of just 2 degrees (K). We might be looking at higher but by 2 degrees the shit will have hit the fan. A 4K rise will probably be accompanied by a major extinction event.
Without detailed record keeping, I am unlikely to notice that the weather is on average 2-4 degrees warmer around the planet. I probably wouldn't notice if it was 2 degrees warmer on average in my present location.
