4. But there is no global warming. It's just something some damn librul thought up.
:eyes:

I think we're getting INCREDIBLY CLEAR evidence that global warming HAS happened and is having a dramatic impact on currents, the jet stream, water temperatures, and more.

8. And the R's will say, "well, if that's what you want to believe." That's often
the answer I get. Hard to imagine isn't it. I just can't wrap my head around global warming deniers.

9. I think saying 'global climate change' is a better use of words
then the repugs can't use extra snow and cold to dispute it

14. 'Volatility' is too big of a word for them to understand
have to keep it simple, one or two syllable words

10. That is what they said here 2 months ago
When our local meteorologist was on the radio, he predicted a tornado season similar to 1974-1975 (a LOT of tornados a lot earlier in the season than usual). Surprisingly, he looks to be right.

13. That has a lot to do with La Nina
Apparently a La Nina spring has a lot to do with these type of events. It happened in '74 and is happening again. That's how they predicted it. I was reading about it yesterday.
