Yes but isn't that the crux of the matter? I mean is there any disproving Climate change? No. It's impossible to disprove climate change as climate change happens all the time. "Look. It's raining" "Look. It's snowing" Look. The sun is shinning and the snow is melting". I could go on, "Look. It's Summer" "Look. It's Winter" "Look. The sky is falling".
Climate change has been a fact since the dawn of time. someone is out there using climate change this year to cause us to act out of panic instead of reason, next year there will be another bogyman etc., etc., on and on. The question should be "Why does anyone wish the masses to act from a state of fear?" I think I know the answer...maybe. Control is my bet.

It was -15 when I got up this morning at 0600. We will be climbing all the way to +5 today. About right for winter in Montana--oh yeah, we have about 18 inches of snow on the ground. (that's out here on the prairie--figure about 6 to 8 times as much in the mountains)

No there isn't.

Weather is not climate. They are two different things.
