“What will we tell our grandchildren about winter?”

That we still have a whole boatload of it? Jennifer’s idea of science is to rely on the fading memories of an old lady scared by newspaper headlines to judge whether the climate is changing.

Sadly, we’ve been conditioned by the press to think that any variation in weather or a ‘bad’ storm means human-caused catastrophe. I have sobering news. There’s always variable weather and there will always be bad storms.

With all this ice melting, I’m waiting for the sea levels to rise. How come I still have to walk the same distance to get to the beach? How come it was the same distance 100 years ago? How come a map of Florida in 1922 looks the same as it does today?

When I don’t have to turn my heat on in October here in Massachusetts, then I’ll believe ‘global warming’. Until then, it’s 100% bunk.

The press has done a good job of brainwashing people. The weather is here for all to see: trust your own observations.

Even with climate predictions of global warming, I have been surprised that most of the recent winters where I live (in New England) have been consistently above average temperatures. That just doesn’t hold statistical value as a trend. This winter is a reminder that eventually things approach a mean. It is so cold and snowy this winter here. I am told that Arctic sea ice has suddenly grown this winter out to the same extent that it was in 1979 when global cooling was the big concern and that the polar bears have thus bought themselves at least a few more years.

Thanks for the thoughtful post and the terminology reminder: “climate change” sounds so much more chilling (no pun intended!) than the unfortunately over-used “global warming.” We already have to say “we used to have passenger pigeons” and a number of other now-extinct species – I hope we can all do our part to help avoid adding more animals (and seasons) to this list.

When I was growing up in Michigan, we ALWAYS had snow. This year my homestate is finally getting hit again in an old-fashion way, but it isn’t the norm. The norm means no cross country skiing. If what they say about the wet places getting wetter and the dry places getting drier, Michigan could turn back into the swamp land it once was.

Have you seen the pictures of Mt Kilimanjaro from twenty years ago versus today? When my dad hiked the mountain he told me that it was the only place on earth where you got to experience every single climate. Sadly, that won’t be the case much longer.
