because “global warming” is totally misleading – regional cold weather results from warming too

The problem, Renee, is that when every unanticipated and unpredicted weather phenomenon is taken (always post-fact) as evidence of “climate change,” we have moved out of the world of science, and into the world of just-so stories.

“Correct term” well, rebranding in the face of the fact the world is actually getting cooler.

There is no reason at all to believe that the cold weather being experienced in Oz at the moment has anything to do with climate change man made or otherwise. It is certainly not predicted by any of the models or any of the climate change alarmists.

This kind of crazy record setting weather has been happening for years as evidenced by the fact it was this cold 30 years ago.

To spell it out, climate variability is normal and not the product of AGW which, on current evidence, does not seem to exist.

Wait, I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not. This is obviously related to AGW, but I thought you didn’t believe in AGW. But I also notice that you used the correct term – climate change (because “global warming” is totally misleading – regional cold weather results from warming too).

So are you being sarcastic – except that the sarcasm seems directed at climate-change deniers, so, er, FAIL - and actually embracing the climate-change reality, or am I misreading the scare quotes around “weather” (suggesting you don’t believe it’s really ordinary weather) and you’re attempting to make fun of people who say it’s not just weather, because this kind of crazy record-setting weather just happens all the damned time? Or what?

(No, no disrespect, I’m serious, I’m honestly confused.)
