If this WINTER continues relatively mild, we may be truly screwed.

I don't know about this winter...but if trolls keep on posting climate threads, I could be moved to the verge of irritation. Give it a rest, please.

But IF this winter stays mild, and IF that's the precursor to another record-warm year, then we may be in deep fat. If we get a warm year even with La Niña conditions, then that could be a sign that Earth's warming is out of control.

California is out of control!

You could literally post that response to any thread on the Internet and it could not be disputed. Well done.

If X, then maybe Y

Sounds awful.

Such a melting little snowflake you are... heavy on the flake.

the sky is falling?

Really, some people got nothing else to fret about since Bernie got sent packing.

Well, if it's in the Daily Mail it *must* be right. I mean, they've never been known to post misleading or false headlines and articles just to sell papers and get clicks.

Oh, wait...

Don't worry, the northwest just switched winters with you. Normally our winters are fairly mild and this year we're getting record snows.

Your mild winter where you live doesn't signal out of control global warming. Anecdotal.

November was balmy and February is warming nicely, but almost all of my runs in the last couple of months have been in the range of 20-0F. I'd be ok with a little bit of global warming.

One of my favorite climate websites, Climate Debate Daily, has sadly tossed in the towel because they realized they weren't changing any opinions. That was surprising until I read that they were all believers. To me, the arguments against AGW were almost always stronger than the articles supporting it. Besides, Einstein once said, "No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong."

How many flaws do you have to find in AGW theory to raise a reasonable doubt as to its certainty? Einstein would have said one.

Yes, there should have been some clarification...

Last year was a wet season for California(especially NoCal).

This year, it is all up and down the coast. Record rainfalls, snowpacks in some areas at the highest levels EVER.

Yes... very mild winter.

That's not a site I've looked at before. The thing that strikes me about it is that they link to media articles rather than primary science. It's a bit strange that many of their "skeptic" links are to CFACT which is a lobbying organization.

Einstein is not wrong, but this does require information that fundamentally contradict the central tenets to falsify that theory. A laundry list of perceived issues doesn't do so.

winter has not been mild where i live...it is just weather bro...

As my friend in Sliverton, CO if it's been a mild winter. Record snowfall amounts. I hate the cold so yay to global warming.

Okay, we know that last year was, overall, the hottest on Earth since the onset of modern recordkeeping,

That's not what our resident climate science guys say. They say that's hyperbole put out by sensationalists distorting the real science going on behind the scenes.

Tell em the score CR. Tell em this is just superstition. Set em straight.

Gary, gary, gay-reee...Always the tough and manly carbon warrior, eh? Behind the faceless anonymity of these boards it's easy to deny the laws of physics and the geological record and the Pentagon and 98% of peer-reviewed scientists. It feels good, I guess, to talk dismissively of biodiversity, coastlines, agricultural droughts, and body counts after extreme weather events. You want us to think you're a son-of-John Wayne, but odds are, you're a very pretty kitty. Watch out, Fake 45's gonna grab you.

I support Global Warming, I don't like to run when it's cold outside. Below 60.
