Well we already have the "Global Warming exists" left wing activism flood, unlike the actual floods which are supposed to have submerged our cities by now.

ah yes, the notion that the planet was always as it is now and never ever changed or changes......

where once there was ice there will now be lush land, then, where once there was lush land there will be ice.

That's why they ditched the term 'global warming' and just changed it to 'climate change'.. because you can argue the warming trend is slowing down but you can't argue the climate changes!

I actually got snow this year, and a lot of it too which is really rare.

What does that have to do with a global warming trend? localized temperature fluctuations, including weather changes, colder and warmer periods that are unusual, and other phenomena, are known to be caused by the way that warming changes weather patterns and ocean temperatures. When talking about global climate change we have to look at the overall picture, rather than micro-trends due to temporary fluctuations in air currents.

Where I live it has gone back and forth from being exceptionally cold, to way warmer than usual, to having odd precipitation patterns that swing from way too much to almost nothing. But if you look at it from a longer term perspective, the temperature has been on the rise, on average, for decades, and precipitation is actually lower overall.

Weather is a crazy thing.

Most people don't have the intellectual capacity to understand climate change and global warming. They think global warming will happen in every single local environment and not on a massive average earthly scale.

It's as exasperating as that congressman that threw a snowball in congress on the floor to prove that global warming is a lie because snow still exists.

Edit: This is literally 90% of the Voat userbase tbh. You try explaining to them what albedo is and LITERALLY how to calculate it, with formulas that WE OWN AND CAN PROVE and they'll still call it a lie.

Alert the satellite records!!!!!

Edit: sorry, I didn't realize the RSS and UAH satellite records were funded by NOAA. Alert NOAA!

Well it is El NiƱo this year, that aside I'm not arguing it isn't warm

Funny thing is, the last El Neenyo was back in 1998, precisely where the "global warming has stopped" crowd tend to start their "no global warming for a decade" graphs.

I wonder what they're going to do in a couple of years? :P

So the evidence shows that El Nino warms the climate erraticly

And the theory says man made green house gases will warm the climate smoothly along with the smooth increase in those gases...

But yeah you keep believing the theory despite contrary observed evidence.
