"And there you go. You think weather is climate." I think the lows here all fall/winter has been 5-10 degrees warmer than normal. I think winters are warmer than they used to be, but they have warmed up even more in other places in the country, as well as the world. Message 29851625 "You do understand that in the overall scheme of things, anything you witness is your lifetime is "weather", not "climate change", right?" You can call it climate changing, or global weirding,or anything you like, but AGW is causing the climate to change, and, as it does, we see it expressed by changes in the weather. Climate change is happening Our Earth is warming. Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4°F over the past century, and is projected to rise another 2 to 11.5°F over the next hundred years. Small changes in the average temperature of the planet can translate to large and potentially dangerous shifts in climate and weather. The evidence is clear. Rising global temperatures have been accompanied by changes in weather and climate. Many places have seen changes in rainfall, resulting in more floods, droughts, or intense rain, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves. The planet's oceans and glaciers have also experienced some big changes - oceans are warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising. As these and other changes become more pronounced in the coming decades, they will likely present challenges to our society and our environment. epa.gov
