If this is global warming, then I like it. I finished my morning run in the shadow of New York City and it is 68 outside. Really nice.

Tell that to the folks in the mid-west who are buried under snow.
This ain't no Global Warming, this is just East Coast is lucky year. When Gloal Warming starts, we will be underwater.
I am heading out to run right now in DC. Shorts and no shirt.
67 degrees on weather.com.
Time to show off my huge, hairy chest.
WATCH OUT LADIES!!!!!!!
Yes it is global warming. Major companies all over the world have accepted it and are planning the future with this in mind. Of course in the USA its up for debate.
it could just be el nino like every meteorologist says it is
So are we all gonna die or what?
A problem with Global Warming is the name it has been coined with. Yes it will be Global Warming but a more accurate term is Global Climate Change. Area's are predicted to become warmer or cooler, more wet or more dry. I notice that everywhere the worlds weather is really screwy.... thus the term climate change. Scientists now call it climate change because Global Warming is not very accurate. Regardless all of the crap we constantly put into the atmosphere is asking for a global crises.
one data point (i.e. year) doesn't make it permanant climate change. El nino anyone?
Global Warming is made up
Yeah, everywhere in the world the weather is screwy. Because, ya know, weather has been known to be such a constant over the earth's 6 billion year history. That's why the weatherman on tv still can't tell me what's going to happen 24 hours from now with accuracy.
I like how people are now calling it "climate change." 50 years ago we were approaching a new ice age, then we decided things are actually getting hotter, so now we adopt "climate change" so that anything we predict about the weather can now be correct.
But climate change is a deceptive term. It was 50 degrees yesterday, and it's 70 today! OMG! Global Warming bigtime, that is such drastic climate change! C'mon, temperatures vary and fluctuate all the time; 'tis not the end of the world. I see no reason to cripple economies and damn millions to poverty with the meager evidence that exists for man-made "climate change."
Try telling the lemming brigade that weather is naturally in a constant state of flux. I'm all for cutting pollution, but note to the lemmings: don't act like there is overwhelming evidence for made-made global warming. There isn't!

Yes, but it's going to be a lovely ride.
Among meteorologists, climatologists and other scientists, the debate is over - we know what is happening. Among the less educated, however, they choose to believe whichever popular media program or politician they liked the most. Sadly, in all my travels, the only people still debating it are North Americans; is it ironic that they are also the most responsible? But go ahead, keep debating in light of thousands of years of evidence in CO2 and temp. I'm sure you all have done the research and know what you're talking about, right?
Thousands of years?? I thought the industrial revolution started 250 years ago. One good volcano will upset the weather as much as anything else. Wasn't 1815 called the year without winter in much of the northern hemisphere beacause of a volcanoe in the far east?
I meant the year without summer

That's pretty funny. Like you all knew what was happening 30 years ago when you were using the same data to predict the oncoming ice age.
Dennis Millar has a pretty funny bit about Global Warming, something like this:
"I guess global warming is real, its hard to tell. The thing is its based on temperatures 100 years ago being lower than now. I can just picture a turn of the century guy saying, 'Hey , take off the leaches, I have to go and take an accurate temperature reading, its going to be really important 100 years from now.'"
The causes of global climate change int eh past can all be explained by natural causes, volcanic eruptions, changes in the earth orbit, sun intensirty etc.
The current climate change can only be explained by introducing the gases added to the atmospher by human activity. The current volcanic activity on the earth and the suns intensity do not explain the current rise in temps.
Hey, who the heck cares? I sure dont
dude, its a process.
west coast- warmest year on record.
