I think they prefer to call it "Climate change", which more closely reflects the theory. More extreme weather events, kinda like Katrina and what San Diego just experienced. Global warming sounds kinda harmless and cozy....
Either way, it was kinda bittersweet riding high mountain passes in December, knowing that we were way behind, again, on much-needed snowpack to grow next years' food here in the San Joaquin Valley.
Who exactly are these "they"???? Would it be the same alarmist, tree hugging, environmentalist, meteorologist, graduate students looking to secure their next research grant and make a name for themselves by publishing yet another useless paper? "THEY" called it global warming, but when that didn't seem appropriate and made them look like idiots, "they" gave it another name. Once "Climate Change" doesn't seem to work for them anymore and their grants are coming to an end or "they" are needing to pump out another useless paper, will "they" call it "Regional Weather Undulations"? Or how about "Global Cyclical Meteorological Modification"? I see big grant funding for this. Ooh, and the mass hysteria it'll generate .................. priceless! :glare:
