UPDATE BELOW
"...Hank talks about why it's cold, why extreme weather makes us talk about global warming, and why this is precisely the wrong way to think about "Average Global Atmospheric Energy." (Which is a more accurate description of worldwide climate changes.)
Go Hank!
UPDATE:
Three arguments about climate change that should never be used
Please, can we try to make sure that these stop appearing in our discussions?
"The warming is just part of a natural cycle."
"We've been warming up since the last ice age."
"To think humanity can influence the climate is pure arrogance."
Read the answers to these absurd statements.

Haven't the righties come running over here to tell you that global warming is a hoax?
well,Pilgrim, the way I look at it is if there ain't no mention of any old planet warming in the Bible, well, then there ain't no global warming. God would no more mess with the climate than would he allow a crooked politician to get elected.
Just read an article on Business Insider about the number of scientists who denied climate change. The last two years, of over 2,000 articles written by scientists there has only been one that denied it. A guy from Russia.
I do remember the asshole old guy FOX News always brought out to deny climate change years ago. He offered no data other than saying what any idiot could say if he stuck his head out the door in Minnesota in January. "It's cold. That proves man has no effect on climate."
I remember the Mini Ice Age. Oops, that doesn't deserve honorable mention I suppose.
Oh well, carry on...
So we should encourage as much pollution as possible since a volcano will pollute anyway?
China will be glad to hear that RN.
There was little pollution during the Mini Ice Age to speak of, other than from burning wood, and whale oil.
Interpret it how you will Joe. Humans need causes and there is no shortage of them to keep every zealot busy.
Zealots are plentiful on the right as well as the left.and each will inform that the other is wrong.
Good thing we have reasoned moderate scientists weighing and balancing out the zealots.
Your closing trite quip about China has been duly noted.
RN, from 1991 thru 2012 there were 13950 peer reviewed articles on climate. 24 reject global warming.
I'd hardly call 24 balanced. Here's the link:

There is no doubt that climate change occurs. August was warm January is cold ergo climate change.
Why is it that once something is rebuked the change the name. From global warming to climate change. At least it has given algore something to make millions off of, oh and win a prize.
Joe,
Pollution is not really climate change, that is why they call it pollution.
skud,
You need to learn the difference between climate and weather.
So in your view co2 from cars and smokestacks aren't pollution Skudsy?
Even Exxon is preparing for climate change Skuds. But they're scientists aren't as enlightened as the 24 don't accept climate change in your view?
I do appreciate your skill at wording a response so it will appeal to the close minded Jesus freaks and blissfully ignorant though. Well done on that part Skuds.
