Calling it global warming in the early days was the stupidest thing that could have happened. Now, every time it snows anywhere on the planet, the people who just don’t want to believe we are damaging the ecosystem just say it can’t possibly be getting warmer. Because there is snow falling.

Climate change is a complex issue. Warmer air in one place pushes colder air to somewhere else. Maybe to somewhere it didn’t used to get pushed to. And what happens when huge areas of warm air bump into huge areas of cold air? Uh, we get super storms. Like the one we just had.

The only reason the scientists ever picked global warming as a name is because that is the overall trend. And a little bit of warmth over the wrong areas… like… oh… I don’t know, the North and South poles, can do strange things… like melt ice and raise sea levels.

So we can end up with super storms and a higher ocean level. If you live on a mountain, feel free to keep doubting the whole idea. If you can drive to the ocean in less than a few hours, you really need to get your head out of your ass. Or buy a boat. Or build one… do you know how big a cubit is?
