In 3 days, here in the Chicago area, we are expecting overnight lows to drop into the 20 something below zero temp range. Wednesday's high will be -11 degrees.
I spent five years trying to explain to these ditto heads that the atmosphere does not retain heat...
they never got it.

Actually, if you had any understanding of what climate change is, you would stop pointing at weather anomalies altogether and pretending that they represent climate change.
Climate change happens when the continents move to new latitudes... hasn't happened for 10,000 years and isn't happening at the moment, we are not in the midst of any kind of climate change.
but the fact that all that heat you pretended built up over the past 100 years is gone should demonstrate that the atmosphere does not retain heat. But it just doesn't sink in, does it? You go right back to the data base of surface temps and pretend that it represents global warming, which you mask under a completely different idea: climate change.
Global warming is a myth, it happens constantly and so does global cooling.
Climate change is real, it happened 10,000 years ago, but isn't happening today.
capice?
(not if you don't want to, right?)

The Earth is warming now. Quite rapidly in fact. Today it is 0.4 degrees warmer than the 1979-2000 average. What you seem not to grasp is that the Earth is always absorbing and radiating energy, but it is not radiating energy as rapidly as before greenhouse gases built up to higher concentrations in the atmosphere.

The last month global average temperatures were below the 20th-century average was February 1985.

"Wait, it's all Marxism?" "Always has been."
So climate and weather have nothing whatsoever to do with each other? That is absurd.

How on earth (pun intended) do you measure "global average temperature?"

climate change is a natural occurrence 'round here we just call it seasons which comes in four varieties. Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer

But during the medieval period, it was much warmer then than now.

In the '70s, it was global freezing. Then in the 2000s, it became global warming. Now, it's climate change. What new tax will liberals think of next?

For anybody who believes that we can cool the earth by sending more scarce taxpayer dollars via carbon tax credits to Al Gore to fund his big gas guzzling jumbo jet flying around the world, I have a bridge to sell you. I promise it will be economical.

You are quite wrong. The atmosphere does heat.

And adding CO2 to it(amongst other greenhouse gasesthings) increases the amount of heat it retains.

Why wasn't it much hotter when CO2 levels were 10 times higher than they are today?

Exactly - they make it up using statistical models designed to emphasize higher temps and deemphasize lower temps.

Started from a cooler point. Do always pull things out of context?
