I could be wrong, but it looks like a climate change to me.

5. Hogwash!
It was this cold and even snowier when I was growing up.

These “scientists” use data that is no older than 200 yrs, some less than 30 and then model out predictions on a planet that's multibillion years old.

It is shocking that some people fall for this kind of malarkey.

sometimes silly experts go to far, to reach the impossible,

we are now told that parts of the M1will have its speed reduced from 70mph--to 60mph, for over 30 miles to help with the climate change,

in the mean time china and India spills billions of tons of carbon into the air,

how will ruceing the speed on the M1 help to stop this ????

[How frequently and regularly does the weather have to present us with 'the same change' before 'weather' becomes 'climate'?]

Experts agree on one thing.....weather is changing. Now......as to what cause is is the real debate.....cyclical, mad-made or combined. The changes are not measured by poking your head out the windows. Atmospheric measures, chemical makeup in the ozone.....ice borings......we know a lot, what we can't say is it man-made of a natural cycle.
To think the weather is not changing is to say the poles are not shifting either. Even the Vatican has a science department that believes in science. Weather change is measures over the millennium not decades.
