Our Changing Climate

You should read this article from Huffington Post called, Global Weirding: Extreme Climate Events Dominate the Summer.  During the past year, we continue to experience increasingly strange weather patterns and higher average temperatures.  While you can't say that an individual event proves Global Warming, this trend is consistent with our models based on Climate Change.  If you remember this winter, as soon as the snow fell on DC, denialists exclaimed the end of Global Warming.  Since they didn't understand climate science, they failed to recognize that extreme blizzards actually supported the science.  Droughts, heat waves, more tornadoes, stronger hurricanes, forest fires, and other have dramatic impacts on the climate.  While we can't seem to agree on the causes, we can at least agree that things are getting very weird.
