Erie PA gets 34 inches of snow - maybe coldest winter ever. And ... Global warming is happening? LOL. What a hoax.

Congratulations to all of those, including the POTUS, who don't understand the idea of Global Warming. Even if one were to disagree with the conclusion of Global Warming, at least show some semblance of understanding of the issues.

You are not providing any evidence. You are relying on the news to tell you right and wrong. Your claim of 3 100 year storm means as much as someone else claiming that we broke snow records this year. Please understand your claims are no better than anyone else. You are not smarter. You are likely to be of average intelligence as everyone else. You can have 10 "100 year storm in 3 days" and it won't mean what you think it means.

1) I said there were a number of 100 year storms, something that has never happened before. I also said it doesn't prove anything, but it is consistent with that we believe will happen.

2) That is how science works. To think that we should know 100% what is going to happen 100% of the time is ludicrous. But to deny the evidence we do have and what we know is ignorant.

You're a mental midget average runner.

What the hell are you on about? You are the minority who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

I’m pretty sure I’m being trolled at this point.

Erie, PA--"the mistake by the lake"

I know a 90 year old who has been smoking for 70+ years. Some idiots think smoking causes cancer.

Dear Mr. coach ( i.e.moron)

You took one item out of the entire group. One unique situation and tried to make people see this as something that happens regularly. You see "Coach", you need several samples to make any type of testing considered worthy or valid. So, over the last say, 15+ years, the polar ice has been melting at an alarming rate, the average temperature of the ocean water at Cape Cod in August has gone from 58 to 68 in the last 10 years, and where I level in New England, I have had very cold winters and then winters with almost no snow. Yet places in Utah have to make snow for skiing when they did not 25 years ago. The list goes on and on.

Lighten up, I was being sarcastic.

I'm sorry to tell you but the Artic ice melt does prove global warming, just like an increase ice in the Antartic. Try harder. Smoking increases the chance of getting cancer. Smoking does not cause cancer. There is a difference.

Happy new year question for CR... have you given the sun cycles work a critical read? Curious to know your point of view whether we are entering a period where we expect less energy transmitted by the sun. I admit I have not ready any of this carefully but am intrigued

Bonus New Years question for CR:

If we focus on sea level rise as a primary negative outcome of global warming, how would you compare its detrimental effects to humanity with those of tsunami and other coastal hazards, and given the choice, assuming it were up to you, how would you expend available resources in addressing those issues in relation to spending to reduce climate change?

Hopefully you thick skulled believers of this agenda can interpret this:

Just think for a second. If they found out they were wrong at this point, would they tell us?

But that shows that man has pretty much nothing to do with the contribution to Greenhouse gases. That it is almost entirely natural-related. That flies in the face of what Al Gore explained in An Inconvenient Truth. Was he lying to us? Have climate scientists been lying to us? Is Global Warming a big fat fraud?

Al Gore lying to us? Really? No way...both he & Clinton were pretty honest Joes when they were in Office. I can also tell by looking at Gore - he doesn't look like the type to mislead or lie. ?

My point exactly.

There was a paper from a Russian astrophysicist a year or so ago suggesting that we were poised to enter a solar grand minimum which got a lot of play in the contrarian space. It didn't seem to be very well supported. Moreover the magnitude effect is likely small relative to our rate of anthropogenic warming. See this article for instance:
