But climate change does not mean it can't snow or be cold anymore...and it doesn't mean that places that don't typically get snow can't. That's the problem...99% of people don't understand what climate change means. anyone who thinks this or believes this is extremely misguided. 

It’s all a crock of crap…has been since we were going into the next ice age in the70’s.  Yes the globe warms and cools..end of story. It will snow and rain and be cold and be warm as it always has.

I'm actually fine with the differentiating between the two. IMO, climate change and global warming are two very different beasts. By definition, all global warming means is the average increase in the Earth's temperature. And since coming out of the last ice age, the Earth has been on a warming trend, however, the argument is the warming is being accelerated and this is what then has branched into the climate change aspect. Who cares if the warming is attributed to natural cycles, human activity, a mixture of both, or because aliens on Pluto are directing lasers at us.

Maybe climate change isn't a good term though. But with global warming, that doesn't mean every single location is warming or there can't be any cold. there still needs to be a balance so if its anomalously warm somewhere, chances are it needs to be anomalously cold somewhere...otherwise the Earth's energy budget and balance would be severely disrupted. but I guess one argument can also be this budget is already severely disrupted...the balance is off. 

Ok yeah that actually makes a lot of sense regarding the budget. However, the lay person isn't going to understand that context so like you said, we need a better term.

but why is it a crock of crap.

Also, there is more to it then just temperatures and precipitation.

Cuz it’s been changed more times than I could count. The globe warns and cools..it’s always been that way.  That’s my opinion.  If you think otherwise, that’s cool too.  I’m out boys…enjoy the day. Not too bad out there right now.

Its unfortunate how such a topic has been approached and then conveyed. It is not about the science, unfortunately. This is what happens when information falls into the hands of the wrong people. I 10000% agree with you the globe warms and cools and its always been that way but the concern is the acceleration of this warming period. Unfortunately for something like this the best course of measure would be for one to conduct their own research and not listen to the media.

The temp debates are dumb. 

Just clean the damn planet…the land, oceans, and atmosphere. 
 

Flatten the damn keeling curve and let the global temp be whatever it decides to be.

I see the problem being elitists using questionable data to grift billions of dollars. The earth has warmed but spare me the histrionic.

I see the problem as OUR earth is warming to the point of irrefutable atmospheric change that is now altering global processes and harming ecosystems with no cohesive plan to stop...  while we argue about politics.

They'll take those arguments to their graves ... metaphorically gasping at their last breath for enough to utter a last sentence about why it's not CC while they are dying from a cocktail of direct and indirect causalities.

It’s crazy to me that looking at a 50 year trend line is polarizing.

We might be at risk for some sort organized storminess out there.  Maybe even a high height late blue snow.

I think Scott might of mentioned something a while ago?   but the +PNA seems to be gaining some momentum. These subtleties for increasing amplitude between the 20th and 25th fit that.

You's guys need a storm really bad to dissect instead of arguing over CC. 
Seasonal changes are predictable. I think most will agree the planet is warming. The equilibrium over the past few hundred years has persisted. Now look at it from say the past thousands, tens of thousands of years. Those changes are subtle with little analysis hard to see a trend in the changing climate. Let's keep it to 10 days.  
Fast forward 20k years mankind will most likely be gone as in extinct. 
Oh, how briefly we live upon this planet, we are only stewards. Hopefully we don't leave it toxic, uninhabitable for future generations to come.

50 years ago it as 1975…we were said to be going into a mini ice age at that time by science…so I mean pick your poison. It’s changing, but it’s always been changing.
 

But I certainly do agree, let’s all try and be as good stewards as we can while we’re here. Keep things as clean as we can. And as was said,  let the planet do what it does.

Next winter when sne gets AN snow with a couple big events, that will be our proof to all of you GW elitist humpers that it’s a hoax. 
 

And if you stop eating eggs, you’ll gain girth between your legs. Oh, and prices will come down as well. A win-win.

That's an interesting one ...

1stly, agreed with storm need ... a dopamine inject into the 'crowd dynamic' would do wonders for people to at least become amenable to listening, maybe even considering.   I mean, ever try to talk sense into an inconsolably irate teenage girl that just broke up with her boyfriend ? This storm depravation thing is 10 X's worse because you're dealing with something creepy similar to a heroin addicts withdraw syndrome.

2ndly... the problem in why-for there's increasing arguments with CC is that one side is getting triggered by a sense that holy shit, there's a real existential threat here ... 

Whether or not that culminates in extinctions ... particularly of us, the current leadership of this very powerfully influential sovereignty that we take for granted is fucking making that happen.

Yeah I see what you mean. GFS op was trying. Personally I'm not expecting anything...but it wouldn't be some extraordinary lucky circumstance if something came about.

Well, this would fit in…just when we think we’re out, here comes a late season snowstorm.  Personally, I hope not at this stage.

Folks round here largely prefer this new climate regime and if anything tend to move south rather than north.  Vanuatu might be screwed but a series of late 1970s winters would have people begging for the current status quo back.  Is it taboo to acknowledge that?

Not at all ... Or shouldn't be.

Unfortunately, in this increasingly intolerant douchy civility that morphed culture over the last 30 years ( I blame the Internet/socio-technological negative feed-back on stability but that's a vast digression that results in a 784 page dissertation - ), you'd be hard pressed to find someone that thinks chalk isn't taboo

But the problem is way, waaaay outside the bounds of just preferences  ( I figure you know that ..just sayn').   Like I was just mentioning to Roosta, tongue-in-cheek ( but is unfortunately true - ), the problem with CC is the rate of the change.

It's been exceeding species adaptation rates.   When that happens, one of two things happens: either they go extinct, or ... diaspora to an alien ecology where they cause all kinds of havoc to the indigenous ... and end up causing 2ndary or tertiary synergistic negative feedbacks because the new ecology cannot adapt in itself to the arriving opportunists... There's really no end to that rabbit hole of complexities.
