    Normal weather changes drastically from one year to the next. With normal weather conditions, sometimes we have snow as early as August while, in other years, there is no snow yet by Christmas. The amount of snowfall, the amount of rain, the number and strength of hurricanes, tornados... fluctuations are normal weather conditions. The only differences are that the politicians have politicized the weather and the media will search the globe for a weather condition that they can present as abnormal, and attribute to man-made climate change. The earth has been warming somewhat, but this has come after the Little Ice Age. Keep in mind that the more concrete and pavement we have, the more heat the earth is going to absorb. Although the climate includes weather conditions, they are not the same thing. Normal weather swings drastically from one year to the next. Normal climate includes periods of global warming followed by periods of global cooling. There's nothing to see here.

    I don't know what to think any more. I have read tons of info for both points of view from so called experts.

    I might recommend @Frank Sanoica’s place. Hot, dry and all it takes is a swamp cooler to cool off.

    Global warming. Is it happening? If so, is it man-made? If it is man-made, will lowering our lifestyles (while simultaneously giving more power to the elite) change anything?
