The Boys of Global Warming

by

It’s pretty much been a silent spring (oh, the environmental irony!) for those global warming proponents who like to cite any hot or dry weather as evidence that global warming is upon us and climate change is real.

I’m not saying it’s right, but in what we’ll call our Sauce for the Goose segment, we’ve collected some of the recent headlines about the weather.

You’ll want to refer back to them this summer when it once again becomes vogue to blame every hot summer day, brush fire or menopausal flush on global warming.

    Though its often called Global warming, a correct name is Global Weather Change. While, yes over all the planet is heating up, this also causes various weather extremes other than getting hot. for instance the heating up absorbes more moisture out of the ground which them gets dumped in massive ammounts.

    Thanks, Summer. I’ll have more to say on climate extremes in a regular post.

    I agree with your point that record hot or cold temperatures isn’t particularly good evidence in support of either side of the debate. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to stop either side from pressing their agenda whenever a particular weather event occurs.

    I appreciate, too, the link to the article which makes some good points. It’s an excellent place to start for delving deeper into the issue.

About Environmental Talk

Environmental Talk is a blog that attempts to do the impossible . . . which is to have a reasoned and nuanced approach to the science and issues surrounding global warming. At the same time, we are not above taking the occasional potshot at the extremists and posers on both sides of the topic.

As a global warming agnostic, blogger/moderator Mark Jabo attempts to come down squarely on the side of finding humor in what is, too often, a needlessly contentious topic.
