Basically because those people you are referring to are discontent, for some reason. I see and hear it regularly. "Happiness is a decision, not the result of some condition". All said IMHO.

"One of the most visible consequences of a warming world is an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. The National Climate Assessment finds that the number of heat waves, heavy downpours, and major hurricanes has increased in the United States, and the strength of these events has increased too."

I don't dispute climate change, but I object to news coverage with an agenda.

Hahahahahaha.... oh wait, you were serious? The OP is trolling...... if the OP really wanted to learn about global warming, Google is at his fingertips.

[QUOTE=JMintzer;2105587]Then why respond with this?

"Is there any point to this thread other than baiting and trolling?

The question has been answered millions of times in millions of places, and if you honestly believe it is a serious question, I feel sorry for you."

Isn't this a place to, in your words, "discuss things"?

Interesting article. Shows that not all news is appreciated. I agree that the Trolls were bated and responded in their normal fashion. They lie in wait to pounce upon that random person who posts a fact that doesn't exist in their data base and is therefore unacceptable.

Really do think that the record snow level would have been something more indicative of a major change in the climate, if it was mid-summer in Australia, and not mid-winter.
Snow in winter, sun in summer is pretty old hat.
Been like that for a long time!

• CO2 absorbs infrared radiation (heat). Adding more infrared-absorbing compounds, or greenhouse gasses, to Earth’s atmosphere throws off it’s energy balance and causes the planet to absorb more energy.
• This added energy should (among other things) raise the global average temperature, increase ocean temperatures, and spur more extreme weather. Absorbed CO2 should also make the oceans more acidic. All are happening.
• Both modern and ancient air samples – the latter from air bubbles in ice cores reaching back several thousand years-confirm that the CO2 levels have spiked since the Industrial Revolution.
• The rate of atmospheric CO2 increase matches that released by human activities for the same time period.
• The relative amounts of carbon’s three isotopes-carbon 12, carbon 13, and carbon 14, in the atmosphere will be different depending on where the carbon in the CO2 comes from. Volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuels for example, will lead to different proportions of carbon 13 and carbon 14 relative to carbon 12. Chemical analysis of Earth’s atmosphere matches fossil fuels.

Assuming the poster is serious, here is a plausible explanation:

Global warming is an established fact. What we are discussing is not global warming, but global weather change.

Climate is the movement of the atmosphere above the surface of the earth. Put a pot of warm water on a burner on your stove. You can see swirling in the water. Now, turn up the heat. The swirls become deeper and more violent. In earth's atmosphere, those violent heat-induced swirls result in more frequent and violent hurricanes. Some of those violent swirls sweep cold polar down under warmer surface air in lower altitudes causing heavy rain and snow storms.

Heat energy also influences the jetstream, a major factor in climate. Have you noticed that the American west is drying and burning up?

Heat energy also plays havoc with ocean currents which dramatically influence climate - though over a longer period.

Considering that we humans are still releasing more C02 into the air every year, it is safe to say that your grandchildren are likely to experience a much more hostile, perhaps horrible world than we will leave.

You beat me to the post.
People enjoy "talk" of snow, especially if you are from the north. Maybe this poster likes this topic. But you are right, there are always the naysayers and they seem to be old men. With all the turmoil and killings in the word now, all the Karens' and Kens' one would think these guys go with the flow....nope, miserable as can be...I say.." Go shovel"
